New year resolutions

So the year has started in full swing and there have been talks of turning over a new leaf... every year I resolve that I will think up some resolutions and stick to them... haven't been able to do that even once yet. This after reading some crackpot articles on how to make resolutions and follow them. Gah... where do people come up with such stuff from???

Anyway, this year I am putting some down in writing and let's see how I hold up:

1. Don't talk about money unless absolutely necessary (note the condition of necessity) - this is to stop my endless cribbing about money.. i.e. the lack of it


2. Stop pestering the hubby - tough one this... but I shall try. Especially since my birthday is coming up I shall try to bear with his surprise with equanimity and not lose my cool.... OOOOMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm


3. Take a calcium supplement daily - getting on in years.. need to reinforce ye olde bones


4. Click a lot more pictures - Being camera shy and totally un-photogenic I suffer from a chronic lack of photos of me in any kind of scenario. I shall remedy that this year so as to leave some mementos for posterity.


5. Be nice, Be social - somewhat on the lines of resolution 2, this is for the random junta. I realize I can be quite mean, nasty and uncommunicative. I will try to be nice unless such nicety is likely to have me tearing my hair..

5 is a good number don't you think? According to all those articles (see ref above) you should make a limited number of resolutions. That way you get to break less ;)

Anyway, so i'm done with my list. What have you resolved to do this year?
