i used to set New Year's resolutions in the past, but the last few years i haven't. i realized that it was always a disappointment when i didn't hold to them and i ended up even more discouraged. But this year is going to be different. i am resolved...and besides, i've set up resolutions that i am SURE i will be able to keep.
In 2011 jo will:
1-Spend many hours a week lost in literature
2-Eat at least one piece of chocolate a day
3-Stress about a clean house
4-Get a good dose of whining in once a day
5-Memorize everything on the Taco Bell menu
6-Procrastinate just a little more
7-Have a nervous breakdown once a month
8-Double the amount of shoes in my closet
Hey, when your expectations are not met, then you've probably set them too high :)
On a more serious note, i am quite determined to be a little more grateful this year. After all, i live a relatively charmed life. Happy New Year!

Jenn,
Not to get on you about bad goals, but... goals are supposed to get you to stretch your reach. Yes, you will be able to meet these goals, but maybe you can grasp just a little farther. May I suggest the following amendments to help lengthen your reach:
1-Spend many DAYS a week lost in literature
2-Eat at least one piece of DARK chocolate a day (May I suggest two pieces?)
3-Stress about SOMEONE ELSE'S clean house
4-Get a good TEMPERTANTRUM AND whining in once a day
5-EAT everything on the Taco Bell menu
6-Procrastinate just a little more (This would should really be dropped till next year, for irony's sake.)
7-Have a nervous breakdown once a month (I believe this is fair, as long as it is an increase for you. You could make it more measurable though, by defining how many plates you will break in a breakdown.)
8-Double the PAIRS of shoes in my closet (Be careful with wording, what good are twice as many right footed shoes. Set meaningful, specific goals and you can achieve them.)
you are right, leon. i don't know what i was thinking. :)
Yay for resolutions. Good luck on yours this year =)
Great counsel, Leon.
Leon. you are my hero but will probably be even more disappointed with my goals. this was my only goal for this year, written on a green post it note stuck inside my calendar: "2012"
