New Year's NON-Resolutions

I read a genius blog post over on Healthy and Simple about what Kevin is resolving NOT to do in the New Year. Hilarious as always (if you do want to make a resolution he adds "If you are thinking of making one resolution please please please don’t let it be going to the gym more often. Particularly if you live in San Francisco and go to my gym.") and a great idea. Kevin writes:

Each year I resolve to find new ways to avoid making New Year’s Resolutions. So far my success rate is 100 percent. I have yet to fail to not keep a resolution I didn’t make. So I can look back over the year almost gone with a sense of achievement and satisfaction, knowing I succeeded in meeting my goal. I haven’t done any of the things I set out not to do.

Of course when he lists his non-resolutions you can see that they are more laughter inducing than anything, including such things as NOT winning the Nobel Prize, NOT climbing Mount Everest, and NOT dating Lindsey Lohan. But what a great idea, in both a comedic way and on a more serious note.

So this year I resolve NOT to:

• Run a marathon. Sorry Pat, it just ain't happening. I'll consider a shorter distance.
  
• Force myself to finish books that I'm just not into (see previous post on the subject)
• Eat meat. I think vegetarianism is still the way to go for me personally. I feel great about it, even living back in Texas where people still say "you're a what?"
• Let my mother do my taxes ... entirely. It's time I start learning.
  
• Become a world famous actress.
  
• Become a world famous singer.
  
• Become a world famous anything ... except maybe awesome person.
  
• Buy things just because they're on sale.
  
• Forget how blessed I am by all of the opportunities in my life, the talents I've been given, and the people who love me.
