Although I generally think that resolutions are an iffy idea, I'm turning 40 in 2007 and I really want to make some positive changes in my life. So I'm making resolutions, and I'm making them publicly in the hopes that the potential embarrassment will help me actually accomplish them. I'm going to print this post and hang it on my fridge.
In 2007, I resolve to:
- Finish my thesis and get my MFA!
- Stay off the computer until my morning routine is done.
- Blog only once per week -- excluding photos, one-sentence posts such as bumperstickers and article links, and emergency posts.
- Answer email the same day I read it.
- Quit drinking diet Coke.
- Get at least 30 minutes of brisk exercise every day (unless I'm sick).
- Follow my five-part, self-invented diet: A) Eat refined carbs only before noon. (If a chocolate croissant is what it takes to get me to eat breakfast, so be it.) B) Eat only protein, vegetables, complex carbs and good fats for lunch and snacks. C) Eat only protein, vegetables and good fats for dinner. D) Supplement as needed with red wine and dark chocolate. C) Eat every four to five hours.
- If above diet doesn't result in weight loss after two months, go on Weight Watchers.
- Keep fresh flowers in the house.
- Love myself enough to actually do these things.
They're not just resolutions, they're revolutions!

Good for you. I wish you all the best with all of it.
Damn! I'm taking it way too easy on my self with my resolutions. On the other hand, I turn 50 in 2007, and this old boy can't front another revolution.
