Where's The Damn Picket Fence?
New Year's Absolutions

Well, it's that time of year again time to sling out the old and drag in the new.  Yes, it's Resolution Time or what I painstakingly call, Absolution Time...time to absolutely not make any resolutions. 

I usually never keep my resolutions anyway; in fact, I don't even make them knowing I'm not going to keep them, but this year, I have compiled a list that will be honored:

New Year's Absolutions for 2003:

1.  I will not quit smoking.

2.  I will not clean my car but once a year and that is only if I need the room.

3.  I will not eat any healthy garbage, but continue my usual menu of marshmallow crème sandwiches and Ding Dongs.

4.  I will continue to be late for work so as to avoid overtime.

5.  I will stop exercising and love myself for who I really am...baggage and all.

6.  I will continue to write checks to pay my bills before the money is actually in the bank.

7.  I will continue to sit in my living room at my computer in my underwear.

8.  I will not let the dogs sleep with me when I know they are in heat.

9.  I will not have a hangover, unless I've been out drinking the night before.

10.  I will take down the Christmas tree before the dog thinks it's a perfect place to cock his leg.

11.  I will learn to watch the sunset and make love more often. 

12.  I will learn to say no and mean it.

13.  I will not make a New Year's Resolution I can't keep.

Happy New Year to all, and may 2003 bring you all you need to make you smile.
