There were actually 50 New Year's Eve resolutions that I made; many of them will never, ever be made public--- not even if I am water-boarded (sorry, Dick Cheney!).
But, we came up with ten that are somewhat plausible or reasonable. Hopefully, we will actually get or three of these things accomplished.
And, of course, I would never resort to Pinocchio tactics to go out with an attractive woman....why is my nose growing?
Taking a cruise down the Nile River was actually number 39, but that has been removed for painfully obvious reasons, though hopefully there will be enough political stability in Egypt to go see King Tut's tomb one day.
Here is the list:
1. Go out with a cute girl you've just met for coffee (well, it will have to be someone else besides Natalie Portman!)
2. Lose about 15-20 pounds...yeah, I say this every year
3. Go to Asheville already (I live in NC, but it's still a bit of a drive from Roanoke Rapids*).
4. Eat more Turkish food, less Mexican food (sorry amigos, nothing personal, but I could go for a good steak burrito right now...)
5. Try to watch fewer bad movies
6. Volunteer for the local animal shleter or a non-profit group with no political agenda
7. Volunteer for the Democratic Party so Palinzilla does not become prez!
8. Write a memoir, a novel or a play already (this is always on the resolutions list!)
9. Figure out what the guy with the attractive girlfriend did to get her, even if it involves lying!
10. More mocha; less cappucino!
*- I don't actually live in Roanoke Rapids, NC, but I had to come up with a place to thwart potential cyberstalkers.
