Since it is officially the new year, I'd like to take a moment to re-evaluate my six resolutions (well, and because I got a job and want to draw a big fat line across that goal in completion!). I must say, I AM rather proud of myself....afterall, how often does one complete a New Years' resolution on January 3rd? I must be some sort of resolution genius! Anyways, getting ahead of myself....
Goal #1: Lose weight (20 pounds to be exact)- ok, now come on....it's IMPOSSIBLE to have lost 20 pounds already, so we can't hold this one against me. (Although, I did actually gain 3 pounds over Christmas.... so technically I now need to lose 23 pounds.... but it was CHRISTMAS! Everyone gains at least a few pounds over the holidays, I mean, seriously. I should still be considered a genius, I'm just saying...)
Goal #2: Get a job- YES! Here is my resolution expertise at it's finest! (So what if it's working with criminals.... who have addictions.... AND mental health issues.... in their homes....) Ok, but it IS a job, and my resolution did not specifically say that it had to be the BEST job in the world, right? I mean, I'll get health insurance, paid time off, and the salary is even better than my last job (by a mere couple hundred dollars, but hey, improvement is improvement). What's even better is that I don't start until mid-February, so I still have a little over a month to relax without the worry of job hunting anymore! (See? Genius.) Goal #2 is officially completed!
Goal #3: Don't lose the new job- Score! I totally haven't lost the job yet! (I am truly kicking New Years' butt.)
Goal #4: Have a baby- This one is not my fault. Even the most geniusy person in the world couldn't pull a baby off in 3 weeks time.... so this one can't be held against me (although, being pregnant would REALLY help out in explaining away those 3 extra Christmas pounds.... oh, to be fat for a reason....)
Goal #5: Don't turn 30- Totally still rocking this goal, although it IS the only goal that I will progressively get worse at as the year continues, so it's logical to say that today I am beating this goal more than I will be from this point on. So I totally consider this an accomplishment of epic proportions!
Goal #6: Do something incredible- hmmmm.... having a baby in 3 weeks would totally have kicked Goal #4 AND 6's teeth in.... but sadly I don't feel that I have done anything too incredible so far this year (although, I did manage to take down all of my Christmas decorations in under 6 hours- I personally find that incredible, but I can see that it doesn't somehow "change the world" and may not be deemed "incredible" to anyone else- so I guess I'll keep trying on this one.... dang it).
Ok, so 3 out of 6 goals are turning out splendidly thus far, and it's only 3 days in! Who else can say that? Except for maybe someone who only chose one goal... and made it super easy to achieve... that person may have already accomplished 100% of their resolution (although they probably haven't accomplished anything incredible yet). So I will continue on. I will reach my 100% (well, until March 10, in which I will completely fail Goal #5, but we'll cross that dooming bridge when we come to it- unless the rapture comes first or those silly Mayans try to make a come back with their calendar predictions....). Anyways, off to find something incredible to do! (Like find my wedding ring underneath 3 inches of snow....)
