Shopping Update ... almost 8 weeks

I have been very well behaved when it comes to my year-long "no shopping" adventure.  I have stayed away from all super centers, malls, boutiques, and on-line emails that are begging to be opened.  I am sure I have saved tons of money.  There is really ONLY one reason why I have been able to maintain my NO shopping adventure.  I have had the flu.  An on-going six week long flu!  Why won't this nasty flu bug go away?  Why don't I feel good?  Why does it affect my "mood" for spending money?  Why?  Why me? 

Except... on one rare "feel good" day...

I got three words for you...

"DAMN you, IKEA!"

2010 or bust!

It's only been ONE day... and

So far I have managed to keep all of my New Year Resolutions!

I haven't lifted a finger.

Not a creature or person to stir.

I haven't done a thing.

The days are normal and slowly returning.

Amazingly, I do not have even an ounce of remorse or GUILT.

PS  I dumped MILT

Happy New Year!

Best Wishes for 2010! 

May the New Year be a great beginning!

How many resolutions can one have? 

I suppose you can have as many as you want considering the resolution is broken within twenty-four hours anyhow.  But it is always good to attempt a resolution ... it is the "peer pressure" type of thing to do. 

Besides, it sounds noble to announce:

NO more cheating.  (on my driver's exam, people!!)

No more eating junk food.  (unless it is the main entree)

No more 'falling' for short, fat, bald men with a lot of money and zero personality.

No more impersonal attempts at maintaining friendships.

No more yo-yo personaliting.

No more house cleaning.

No more drinking.  (diet coke, people!!)

2010 is going to be a great year, if I can keep my resolutions!

Coffee, Tea or Me?

 I am totally still in the holiday spirit of delusion.

My house is messy.

My kids are dirty.

My cats are ... somewhere.

The inlaws are _______________ .

My husband is _______________ .

Remember, I am still filled with the holiday spirit.

How many more days till everyone leaves the house - back to school, back to work, back to their hometown, back to Timbuktu, back to wherever they need to be????

Always a TICKER. Always a COUNTDOWN. Always WAITING.

God, I don't want to be wishing my days, weeks, months, years away.

My NEW YEAR RESOLUTION....

I WILL STOP MAKING COUNTDOWNS!!!
