Are you sick of making the same resolutions year after year that you never keep? Why not promise to do something you can actually accomplish? Here are some resolutions that you can use as a starting point:
1. Gain weight. At least 30 pounds.
2. Stop exercising. Waste of time.
3. Read less. Makes you think.
4. Watch more TV. I’ve been missing some good stuff.
5. Procrastinate more. Starting tomorrow.
6. Don’t date any of the Baywatch cast.
7. Spend more time at work, surfing with the T1.
8. Take a vacation to someplace important: like, to see the largest ball of twine.
9. Don’t jump off a cliff just because everyone else did.
10. Stop bringing lunch from home: I should eat out more.
11. Don’t have eight children at once.
12. Get in a whole NEW rut!
13. Start being superstitious.
14. Personal goal: bring back disco.
15. Don’t wrestle with Jesse Ventura.
16. Don’t bet against the Minnesota Vikings.
17. Buy an ‘83 Eldorado and invest in a really loud stereo system.
18. Get the windows tinted. Buy some fur for the dash.
19. Speak in a monotone voice and only use monosyllabicwords.
20. Only wear jeans that are 2 sizes too small and use a chain or rope for a belt.
Until next time…

I remember when my dad first told me that we had email. It was a Prodigy account that he had signed up for and when he sat down my brother and I to show us how to use it he stated, “We have 30 emails per month. After that they cost 25 cents each. Split them and no fighting and don’t go over your 15 each.”
I was careful not to send emails unless I had to. It was not normally a problem because I didn’t know many people who had email at that time and I made good use of the bulletin boards.
But, think about this. How much would your email cost you today if the 25 cents an email rule was still in effect. (I’m talking, sending, not receiving.)
I looked at the amount of emails that I sent yesterday… I sent over 600 emails! (Of course I didn’t have a mailing to my list in there, but still.. that’s an email!) 600 emails at 25 cents each is $150…
I’m glad times are changing and I’m glad that I’ve got Aweber! $20 a month is much better than $150 per mailing!
How much would you have to pay per day if the old rules were still in effect?
Until next time…

Permalink 4 CommentsI actually took time off this holiday season. It’s rare for me. While I did visit my parents a few days before Christmas, I also worked some as well. Nothing major, bust checking in to make sure that everything was running smoothly.
However, today I embark on a 5 day journey with 20 other people (13 of them teenagers) as we head to SetApart07 in Orlando, Fl.
And I? Am not working.
In fact, I’m really not writing this today. I wrote it weeks ago and then handed it off to my VA to set up and post.
Because I’m ringing in the new year relaxed and rested.
Ok, I take that back. I’m with 13 teenagers amongst hundreds and thousand of other teenagers.
I’m ringing in the new year with a break…because I worked hard in 2007 and I’m going to hit the ground running on Tuesday when I return.
How about you? Did you celebrate your 2007 successes?
Until next time…

Permalink 2 CommentsTwas the day after Christmas, and all through the house,
Every creature was hurting — even the mouse.
The toys were all broken, their batteries dead;
Santa passed out, with some ice on his head.
Wrapping and ribbons just covered the floor, while
Upstairs the family continued to snore.
And I in my T-shirt, new Reeboks and jeans,
Went into the kitchen and started to clean.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the sink to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the curtains, and threw up the sash.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a little white truck, with an oversized mirror.
The driver was smiling, so lively and grand;
The patch on his jacket said “U.S. POSTMAN.”
With a handful of bills, he grinned like a fox
Then quickly he stuffed them into our mailbox.
Bill after bill, after bill, they still came.
Whistling and shouting he called them by name:
“Now Dillard’s, now Broadway’s, now Penny’s and Sears
Here’s Levitz’s and Target’s and Mervyn’s–all here!!
To the tip or your limit, every store, every mall,
Now chargeaway-chargeaway-chargeaway all!”
He whooped and he whistled as he finished his work.
He filled up the box, and then turned with a jerk.
He sprang to his truck and he drove down the road,
Driving much faster with just half a load.
Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer,
“ENJOY WHAT YOU GOT … YOU’LL BE PAYING ALL YEAR!”
