I don’t think I formally posted my Resolutions anywhere, and according to some psychologist in a magazine I was reading you’re supposed to broadcast your resolutions to help you feel accountable for them. Since I’m going to need every single ounce of help I can with these (we’re 4 days in and I’m fading people) here I go…
PERSONAL LIFE
- Stop lying to myself (“If I don’t have those shoes, I’ll die. I don’t have a pair of purple shoes and I absolutely need them or I can’t wear those purple tights I bought last week”) and lying to others (“These purple shoes? I’ve had them for years”)
- Get in better shape. Actually, that’s a lie… Damn #1…. Get in any shape at all. Weight loss will be an added bonus, but maybe if I don’t focus on it as the goal it won’t be so freaking impossible to obtain- I need to do it now because I’m not getting any younger and it supposedly gets harder.
- Pay down as much debt as humanly possible- and not acquire any more unless deemed an emergency by at least 3 other people. Shoes don’t count, new front stairs to avoid a lawsuit might.
- Find a new hobby which doesn’t include online shopping, physical shopping, online shop browsing, physical shop browsing or thinking about shopping. Suggestions welcome. Mr. Roccapuccia suggested mall walking- as this would include shopping (love) and exercise (hate). He just doesn’t understand that my willpower can’t sustain a 70% off final clearance sign.
- Take Gucci the Roccapoochie for at least 4 walks a week. Just because he doesn’t physically need to go for a walk doesn’t mean he doesn’t like them. Also, start or join a small dog playgroup so he can play with dogs without getting beat up by the huge ones who live around us.
- Diet Cokes only on very special occasions, not every day. Especially when making it one day without shopping doesn’t count as a special occasion, this is going to be tough. I can understand why someone called cocaine Coke.
- When someone invites me to do something, unless I have plans already, I will say yes. Please don’t invite me to clean out your Grandma’s basement… Unless she is a stylish lady with some vintage clothes in the basement I could have try on.
- Work goals which really aren’t very exciting to anyone other than my mom and my poor co-workers who have to listen to me all day (Hi to a certain co-worker I just found out is a regular reader!) that I’ll just share when they are achieved. There’s optimism for you. Goooooo 2010!
BLOG LIFE
- Write one entry every day. Sorry if you get my daily e-mail roundups, you’ll be getting 365 updates from me this year.
- Get to 500 unique visitors to the site daily by the end of 2010- so tell all your friends. Tell your grandmas. Tell your therapists and masseuses. Tell your servers when they ask for a tip. Tell everyone.
- Turn current writing for other sites into a true part-time income. Thus allowing the purchase of more shoes debt paid down faster.
- Attend one blog event IRL (OMG, IRL!) this year. Meet face to face (OMG, F2F!) with other bloggers.
- Take on at least 3 blog overhauls for friends/family/customers and make sure they are done with 110% dedication and perfection
There you have it, things I am going to do in 2010. I’m going to work on them. Just like I’m going to work on stop writing 2009 instead of 2010.
