Not-to-do list for 2009

[inland wave]

While most of us make new year's resolutions, Real Simple Magazine has an article that asks the question "What is on your not-to-do list for 2009?" I found it to be an interesting twist on a question that most of us dread to think about each year.
For myself:
less email-get back to handwriting letters and sending cards.
Work and school homework on Sunday-want my Sundays off for a change....:yup:

Not to yell at my kid and then act surprised when he yells at me.

Drink Jack Daniels, except at restaurants, since I'm congenitally incapable of doing so without finishing the bottle.

[Master Taran]

I've had a bar actualy run to the local market to buy more JD cause I drank them dry.

[Farren]

Do you finish the bottle in one sitting? Because that's my problem. Last time I honestly had a two day hangover.

[Master Taran]

Sometimes.

[biochemgirl]

I would really like to not make negative comments about my body or the way I look.

[Farren]

Sweet jesus, neurosis, I forgot about that. I keep getting neurotic about shit too, although its diminishing with age. So, no neurosis in 2009.

[Master Taran]

:undrunk:I resemble that.

I resolve not to buy books anymore. (Today doesn't count; I had to spend my holiday gift cards on something, didn't I? Didn't I?!)

There's no need to buy books when my local library has plenty of them to read. Oh, and if I decide I want to reread them why, back to the library I go!

Cheep!
:psychoch:

[Farren]

Is your library any good? I gave up on the library years back when I kept being unable to find the books I was looking for.

[Caligulette]

Yeah.... Um....I cannot support that No Buy Books thinger there.


I will no longer allow others a bigger benefit of the doubt than I allow myself. Nor will I make excuses for the inexcusable.

Is your library any good? I gave up on the library years back when I kept being unable to find the books I was looking for.If I'm looking for nonfiction to read, it's probably not very good. But my only interest these days is fiction and there are books I would never read if I had to buy them. If I check out something that turns out to be a waste of my time, there's nothing lost but the fuel it took me to make the trip to the library.

I'm tired of owning books; all I need them for is a nightcap to help me sleep, anyway.
