Resolutions - Who Needs 'Em?

I've been trying to think over the last 12 days what New Year's Resolutions I would torture myself with, er, make this year. I think I finally came up with it.

I'm not going to make any.

Seriously.

I mean, what's the point? I never stick with any of them. All they've ever done is make me feel guilty once I break them. And who needs more self-appointed guilt? I sure don't.

An example of past resolutions that I never stuck with.

- When I was 9:
I resolved to say "Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit" the second I woke up on the 1st day of every month. My grandfather had told me if you do this, it will bring you good luck. Yea, I think I remembered all of one time.

- When I was 12:
I resolved to write in my diary every day about things that were going on in my life. You should see how many days I skipped.

- When I was 14:
I resolved that I would only date nice guys. Er, yea. I dated a lot of Shits.

- When I was 18:
I resolved that I would never, ever have kids. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

- When I was 22:
I resolved that I would never get married again. I'm so VERY glad that I broke this one when I was 25.

- When I was 25:
I resolved that I would stop yelling at my kids. ... Excuse me... I need a tissue. I just laughed so hard I cried.

- When I was 26:
I resolved to take a picture every day and post it on my photo site. I actually kept this one.

- When I was 28:
I resolved that I would ... hmmm... I don't remember what resolution I made last year. Probably didn't.

So there you have it. Past resolutions that I never kept. (Well except the Photo-A-Day one. I'm proud I kept that one.)

To those of you who DO keep yours - I so admire you.
