WHO ARE YOU CALLING AULD or KISS ME QUICK, SMOOCHIE, TIME’S A’WASTIN”
Happy new year. I have a laundry list of resolutions in my back pocket that is so lengthy and detailed it’s making me sit crooked. I’m not pulling them out yet because they are still cooking, fermenting, getting to know each other. If I leave them in my pocket long enough they can work out their own contra-indications, such as #7 “treat body with respect in all ingestibles” and #22 “drink more alcohol”. By the time the list sees the light of day I believe these and other battling factions may have come to their own resolution resolutions.
That said, I’ll ask what your resolutions are and a brief wager on how long you’ll keep them. One of mine went out the window today, January 1st. “Don’t yell I hate you” in my house. Damn, that’s a hard one. I was able to keep the “f***ing” modifier out of the equation, so I’ve got that going for me. How was your day?
New Year’s Revelations
- worldwide sick children are depressing; my sick children just bum me out and get aggravating after 4 days.
- screaming is not a family value; screaming dramatic monologues and rants peppered with clever smart bombs is a good way to fritter away a Tuesday afternoon.
- one’s mood can change dramatically, and almost instantaneously when one discovers that the handful of wasps congregating on the front porch are actually sneaking into one’s bedroom window to gather under the window treatment (is this really legal public assembly?)
- i am caring less and less about the whole “no hover craft” thing, but am starting to get uppity about not having a personal life coach. what the hell? see a need, fill a need. Are all you people blind?
- sorry for the blind thing. i just want a life coach.
- my son saw cheez wiz in a can and said, :”Look mom! Whipped cream made of cheese!” and it made me so happy. He’s seeing the pony!Maybe I’ll do a Best of 2007 list. But since that entails remembering 2007, I think it may take a while, some phone calls and explaining.
All of my everything I don’t need at this moment in time,
Kim

I’ve got stuff for your 2007 list. How much you gonna pay me not to divulge it?
I’ve only got one resolution and that’s it.
Paint my office, since it’s mostly done, I’ve good to take the pressure off.
It also helps that when I made the resolution I was in the middle of painting.
