New Year
What’s hot?
The entire world is planning to camp en masse at the fitness centers, end terrorism and attempt to give up smoking, drinking and eating.......
If ever there is a way to waste time on a brand new year it would be to reflect on old resolutions that flunked hopelessly. Still it is a time for re-determination. A chance to start over again!!
Too many resolutions popped up at the last moment but I restricted them to 7, and Linda Goodman says seven is my unlucky number.
Stop watching primetime reality shows
Be it God’s own or the umpteen channels beaming from every quarter of the universe, a stern, “No, thank you!”, except for something of the magnitude, ‘Boogey with the ex-president and defeated candidates,' from the neighbour later this year.
Selective reading
No brain space for the Nicoles, Spears or any fancy pants in the rehab.
Keep fit
Personal weight loss had been an all time favourite resolution as a couple of pounds annoy from the fat accumulation zones. Apparently I have decided to ignore the most lucrative ads like, ‘lose up to 27lbs in 8 weeks’. Instead I can use the most practical road crossing saga. Wait for the flickering hand signal to cease and dash through the intersection at an incredible speed with the chorus of yelling drivers and emerge alive at the finishing point.
Sensible shopping
No shopping with my husband or daughter for different reasons. Not to be obsessed with the colour and pattern adorning the mannequins (I hold the record for denuding them). Another point taken home is not to buy that extra pair of shoes at the sale towards the end of the month at it shows immediately on the statement. Wait patiently till the first week of the month to give it enough time to appear.
No smoking
The immense carbon particles that had triggered the smoke alarm made me wiser. I hate the coil element stove which shows no sign if it is -hot and ready to perform. After an endless list of burned chop boards, discoloured steel, disfigured plastic it has dawned on me that I should stop cooking. Go green! Eat from the fescue turf instead.
Chain e-mails
Re-direct all those 'lucky mails' and spams back to the spammers. If there are magnanimous promises to share the newly acquired wealth with me, change the name, rephrase it with more promises and forward them to the senders.
And finally.....get self-organised
I have made myself to believe that I possess extraordinary organizational skills which should be put to test at least once a year. Take some performance enhancing drugs to accomplish this.
Now, if you will excuse me, I’m off to contemplate why these resolutions failed last year.
