Everyone does the “Resolutions” post about the things they “believe” they’re really going to accomplish in the coming year.
This is NOT that post.
Even though everyone INTENDS to keep their resolutions, by the 2nd week of the new year, 90% of those resolutions have been tossed by the wayside and forgotten. A dieter gets one whiff of a cheeseburger and the resolution to lose weight and eat healthier is thrown out the drive thru window. (And no, I’m not speaking from personal experience! Why would you even think that???)
There are a lot of good intentions in this world but as you’ve heard before “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” And I don’t want to go to hell. Really… It’s hot there… I’m just sayin…
I may have mentioned this before but I am the biggest procrastinator you will EVER have the chance of knowing. I admit that. I accept that.
“My name is Andrea and I’m a procrastinator.”
<“Hi Andrea!”>
So I figured that since I’m a rebel and thrive on being the Fruit Loop in this big old world full of Cheerios, I am doing a different post.
My list of things I WILL NOT resolve to do this year!
- I will not promise to keep my house cleaner then it has been for the past 5 years. Will I remember 5 years from now if my sink was shiny every morning and my bed made? NO! What I will remember is the memories I will make with my son and with Jason. They are more important to me then making sure all my couch pillows are exactly straight in case company comes over.
I will not promise to lose weight! Dieting is for the birds. I would rather focus my energy on life and living it! If I died tomorrow would I be glad I had a salad last night for dinner? Or a grapefruit for breakfast? No! (Plus, I love food too much to give any of it up. Shh, that’ll be our little secret!) I have NEVER been one of those girls who doesn’t eat on dates and stresses over her body every second of every day. I do NOT have a scale in my house and will never own one. And I like chocolate cake. A lot. Seriously.
I will not resolve to quit drinking. Why would I do that? It's a good time. Besides, if I quit drinking, what would I do between 9 and 10:00 in the morning at work?
I will not resolve to get out of debt. I can't wrap my head around that and as I've said already, when you're a procastinator, getting out of debt isn't something you know you can handle. And how would I get out of debt with all the retail therapy I need to accomplish?
I will not resolve to get my "professional life" in order or wish for a better career. I don't want to work. Have never wanted to work. I DREAD going to work. Why would I resolve to get more of it in my life?
I will not resolve to have more peace and quiet in my life. I've never shared this with all of you before BUT I have a confession to make. (Yes, I know! Another one! It feels great to get all these confessions off my chest!) I am the "shusher" mom. The one who yells at everyone else to shut up because I can't take a lot of noise. J and Brady will be rough housing and playing at night and I'm constantly telling them to shut their pie holes. I need to stop that.
I will not resolve to take on a new hobby or learn a new language. I already have more then I have time for. Besides, what could be a better hobby then bedazzling everything we own.
So, those are my UN-Resolutions for 2009!

What a cool post. And you know what, we can share the world's worst procrastinator title. http://juggelingactoflife.blogspot.com/
I'm with you on the clean house and dieting issues.s My favorite quote about keeping a clean house?s "I am far too interested and interesting to keep a clean house".s It may not be true but doesn't it just make you feel better :) ?
Great list - I hope you are successfully keeping your un-resolutions!
Now this is a resolution list I can get behind!
What a great UN-Resolution list!! :)

Happy SITS Day! :)

I love your un-resolutions.

Happy SITS day!
Great list! Happy SITS day!
LOL...I don't know how many people make resolutions because the "believe" they will get it accomplished, but because they want to have something to focus on...
s
I chose this year to Focus.s Nothing specific, just learn to focus on whatever task i'm working on...sometimes it's reading a blog through, or clearning off the counter...
s
I'm a new years resolution~er.s I do it every year...
Now this idea I can go with!
What a great list. You did what you wanted to do. Yeah.
That list was ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! Especially the graphics to go along with everything...you are just too funny!
Hope you've managed to keep this unresolutions!
I like chocolate cake, too.sI resolve to eat more of it!
Ahaha!s Why diet - you've got kids to run after so chocolate cake is part of your daily caloric needs!s Love the pic, too.s I needed this laugh after the crying one - thanks! :)
Love this post! I've given up on keeping the house clean too! After all nobody stops by on the one day that it is clean anyway, they always come over when it's nor, right? That and it's hard to do when we're always here vs. people who are gone all day and come home to a tidy house!
Bahahaha
s
I love it!
I love your UN-resolutions! What a fabulous idea! Maybe I'll make some un-resolutions of my own next year :)
HAHAHAHAH!!! Love it!!! That's me every year. I'm not promising anything about weight loss EVER!!!

The plant's root is used in traditional herbal supplements to increase testosterone levels in men. The herb contains ethalonic essence, which improves the work of chorionic gonadotropin, which in turn helps increasing testosterone levels. Higher testosterone through the male sizegenetics triggers an increase of muscle mass, stronger sizegenetics, better sexual performance, lesser sizegenetics fat, increased sizegenetics metabolism, lessened stress, and improved brain function and memory.No, it is not only young guys throughout their twenties who long to use a bigger penis. Men of all ages are secretly asking themselves: How can I be making my penis bigger?.
