New Years Resolutions

Every year people around the globe sit down and think real hard about stuff they’re gonna do different in the coming year. Things like quitting bad habits, trying to lead a healthier life, etc, etc… Basically, stuff that will make them better and hopefully happier people. I am no different, I made resolutions too! 

Top Five New Years Resolutions for 2009:

1. Lose remainder of baby-weight (more-like-sit-at-home-and-eat-cookies-all-day-weight

2. Take more pictures and maybe get into photography school.

3. Write more.

4. Get my drivers liscence.

5. Be more fabulous!

However, here are my anti-resolutions! Things I refuse to do or stop doing in 2009. 

Top Five Things I’m NOT Gonna Do Differently:

1. Quit smoking.

It’s just not gonna happen, I’m not even going to get anyones hopes up by trying to explain why not. Just, no. 

2. Watching TV shows and movies online

If you read my blog, you’ll find that more than half my entries are about pop culture and the people in it, so again no. Pop culture is what I want to write about, so blah.

3.  Dress like a mom.

I refuse to ever wear high waisted jeans with a polo shirt and sport a Meg Ryan-esque bob. Nor will I ever drive a station wagon unless I live in one/it has skulls painted on it, or be the head of any sort of PTA function. 

I will however take Mia to get a tatoo, talk to her about sex, beat up the kids that bully her, help her write her english papers, and go to movies on school nights. 

4. Eat healthy.

I am trying to eat healthiER, but that means, like, crab sticks and baby carrots with ranch dip and still the occasional cookie. Instead I do intend to exercise more and be active, which is way more fun then denying myself cookies. 

5. Shop less, I've tried and tried and tried to cut down on my clothes shopping, but it's just to hard .

However, I do justify my shopping by the fact I never EVER buy anything expensive. I don't any designer wear, because I'm perfectly happy with what cheap retail will give me. Also, my kid doesn't lack any food, and her diapers are usually fairly fresh so it's not like I'm spending money I don't have.

Top Five Things I Wish Would Happen in 2009

1. Someone would give me a pair of Dior Extreme Gladiator Sandals.

2. Niels would come home from the army. 

3. Betsy Johnson would do a retail line for H&M.

4. Mia would sleep through a whole night.

5. I would lose 10 pounds and look like this: 

Just kidding! I DO want to look like, this though (minus the outfit):

When I Was Your Age...

...Girls on television  looked like Barbie.

Which, you know, wasn't exactly awesome, but hey. At least Barbie had a bunch of careers and great outfits and a pink convertible. Then those ugly Bratz Dolls came along and now the girls on TV look like them!

 I know I'm jumping on the Hollywood's-too-skinny bandwagon, but jeez! Eat a pie and grow into your head, girls! And remember the days before Bratz, when Barbie was always a vet, or a pediatrician, or an astronaut? Or even a mermaid?
