New Year's Resolutions I Should Make, But Won't.....

.....Because I know better

Well folks, it’s that time of the year where everyone likes to get serious, dig down deep into their soul and pick at their flaws like a teenager with pimples.  The good news for you is, I don’t do serious, reflective writing and am a firm believer that pimples should be popped in the comfort and privacy of one’s own home! So, today we are going to discuss the resolutions I

should

make, but

won’t

because I know a losing battle when I see one.

  • Stop posting every thought that comes to my mind. Example: Not everyone wants to know that my dog, cat and husband kept me up snoring all night, and they certainly don’t need audio and visual proof.

  • Stop threating to make my husband sleep on the couch every time he drives slow in the left lane.

  • Stop forcing passengers in my car to listen to whatever song I am currently obsessed with on repeat for weeks on end.

  • Stop waiting to put gas in the car before the display screen replaces the speed with a picture of a gas pump and the words LOW FUEL.

  • Stop strategically planning what car my husband drives based off of fuel needs.

  • Stop kicking the ice that falls out of the ice maker under the fridge.

  • Stop negativaly judging people when they say the 2nd Willy Wonka is better than the 1st

  • Stop making fun of mesothelioma commercials

  • Stop reading the plots to movies ahead of time on IMDb

  • Stop judging people who defend Nickelback

  • Stop trying to trick my dogs into thinking that I stole their ears.

  • Stop watching the Sound of Music on repeat.

  • Stop passing gas and blaming it on the dogs or rogue indoor geese

  • Stop rolling my eyes when 20 something’s say words like “iconic” and “relatable”


So tell me readers, what is a New Year’s resolution you should make, but won’t because you know better.

See you in 2019!
