Resolutions

I have decided that I'm going to actually try to stick to my New Year's resolutions this year. "What?" you say. "You haven't stuck to them in the past?" Shocking...I know. My will-power is usually so much stronger than that. Yeah, right.

So, following is my list of resolutions in no specific order:

- I will become a member of a church and attend regularly.
- I will get back down to the weight it says I am on my driver's license. (I haven't seen that weight in a long, loooooooooong time.
- I will get enough money in savings so that I won't have to freak every time I need to buy a new tire. This does actually happen a lot more than one would think it should.
- I will stop drinking Coke type drinks. I would say I'm going to cut out caffeine altogether but I really like the occasional sweet, iced tea.
- I will ask a man out on a date. No, I don't have anyone particular in mind yet. I've whined for years about how lonely I am and it's high time I did something about it. Granted, this will actually require me doing something outside my comfort zone. Look out world!
- I will stop being such a cynic. I used to be a nice, shy, quiet person. I miss her. I want her back...to some extent.
- I will stop allowing men to make my cry. What is that saying about the man who is worth crying over won't make you cry? I need/want that guy.
- I will get my house clean and keep it that way. I just never go to the trouble for myself. I would really like to come home every day to a clean house. That would be lovely.
- I will start cooking for myself. Something other than sandwiches and frozen pizza.
- I will keep a daily journal even if it's about nothing. I need to set aside time each evening to write and get rid of any stress or be happy for any triumphs.
- I will try to become content with myself and stop letting others dictate my emotions. This one is actually going to be the hardest for me.

Yes, I do realize that this is quite a list but it's things I should already be doing. Well, minus the asking guys out. I still think guys should do the asking. I guess I'm old-fashioned that way.
