New Years Resolutions

Does anyone even do these anymore? It is an excuse to 'wait' until January to start and try to kick a bad habit, or to go on a diet, or to start exercising.

  

Why wait until the 1st of the Year? Is waiting until the 1st really going to jumpstart you to get off your butt and go running. The 1st this year is a Sunday, who is motivated to start anything on a Sunday, I barely have enough umph to finish my laundry and clean.. mine as well try and kick an old habit. This is similar to people starting a diet or exercise regiment on a Monday. No one is motivated on Mondays, that is the most dreaded day of the week. Personally, I think it is better [granted this is solely my opinion] to start on a Wednesday or Thursday. Why not? Halfway through the week, but not too lazy due to the impending weekend. I started running, and I go every other day like I did during training. Perfect. I made an effort not to start Jan 1st, nor a Monday.

So here are my not-so New Years resolutions, they are just things that I should be doing more in general:

Dear laundry -- I am sorry I leave you dirty so often. I just hate to fold you neatly and put you back in your drawers or hang you up nicely. I know you deserve to be clean, and I understand your frustration when you get all wrinkled. I will make a whole hearted effort to keep you in the closet and drawers more often than the laundry basket.

Dear dust -- I know you enjoy hanging out with me, especially on my electronics, but I think for the year of 2012 you need to find a new friend. I will introduce you to my friend pledge and cloth, I really think that you are going to get along well. Maybe I will bring them over tonight after work.

Dear plants outside -- I promise to take better care of you this summer and take Ty out to see you. He loves to pull plants and pick flowers. I am sure he will cherish your work of looking lovely.

Dear water -- I must drink more of you. I know that you sit so patiently in the fridge staying nice and chilly. I take advantage of you and only drink you when I am really thirsty, I should be more greatful for all of your health benefits more often. You rock!

Dear cookies -- why must you taste so good? I shall leave you for others to enjoy more often. I appreciate you always satisfying my sweet tooth, you are an excellent counterpart- but my body doesn't like the counterpart growing on it. I must refrain from you a little bit more. :)

Dear running -- what to say to you? I know, I know, I will stop with the excuses. I am going tonight. I promise.

I have to be realistic and realize that these are not resloutions, meerly a reality check.
