Resolutions
Anyway, in contrast to my usual trend in resolutionizing, i.e. my home will be white-glove perfect 365 days of the year and I will write 3000 words/day, 7 days/wk -- all deathless prose that doesn't need no steenkin' editor, I've set more reachable goals. I hope.
I resolve to be on time for appointments and events.
I resolve to reduce my weight to 135 lbs. As of today, that'll be a 16 lb loss.
I resolve to exercise 5 days/wk for at least 20 min/day, no matter what. Whether it's the bike, pilates or walking. (psst -- I was on the bike for 1/2 hour this morning!)
I resolve to write 5 days/wk, no matter what.
I resolve to be online less. (Note that there is nothing specific here, just "less.")
I resolve to make a housecleaning schedule and stick to it.
I resolve to clip coupons more diligently and shop as much as possible at the commissary.
I resolve to yell at my children less and play with them more.
I resolve to drink more coffee -- just because I like to drink coffee.
I resolve to listen to more music.

Wow, those are some killer resolutions, Sela! They make my goals look puny in comparison. :-0
I especially liked your weight loss goal. Hell, if I weighed what you do--before the weight loss--I’d be thrilled! LOL
Here’s wishing that every one of your hopes and dreams for 2006 comes to fruition. :-D

LOL, my house looks like the rainy day outside, so you're welcome to add my address as well. :)
I like your resolutions. My body goes into apopleptic fit when I try to lose weight. I've got roughly 20 to lose (25 if I want to be unrealistic) but that's on my goal list too!
here's to writing without eating!
Best of luck in the new year!

Now your resolutions make mine look a bit ... unresolution like.
For some reason I don't think I'm changing my list though.
Maybe I'll tweak here and there.
I'm irresolute.
Maybe I should resolve to refer to the dog hair in the hall as our new carpet.
