I gave up making New Year resolutions a long time ago because usually by January 31 I would forget all about it as if it never happened. And yet most people still have a habit of making resolutions. A friend says that he will quit drinking for 10 months until the next holiday season comes along. A friend says she will drop 20 lbs. in one year. A friend says he will stop being a flake and show up when he promises to be there.
The cover story in this month’s Glamour magazine, CHANGE YOUR LIFE IN 31 DAYS, suggests that instead of trying to stick to your resolution for a whole year you should try it out for the first month of the year. And the results are quite surprising! One woman wore lipstick wherever she went and “I got my sexy back,” said the woman. One woman talked to strangers. She started out with small things like asking for the time to giving her number to a man on the street. She now feels more open than ever before. One woman wore dresses everyday and she not only gained more respect at work but also received more second looks on the street. One woman quit Starbucks for 30 days and saved $465!
My new month resolution is to quit drinking in the month of January. So far so good. No one has given me any hard time about it. Usually I leave my car at home since I know I’ll be intoxicated. Now I drive to all the dinners and parties so that I have the perfect excuse. It pisses me off when some guy said, “if you don’t drink with me you give me no face!” Dude, do I care about your face? I don’t even like you. Step aside before I will have to run you over with my car! Besides my car is valued like 100 times more than your freakin’ fucgly (fucking ugly) face!
One good advantage I discover from quitting drinking is that I don’t get the midnight cravings anymore. I wonder if there’s any correlation between alcohol consumption and
I also quit chewing guns due to doctor’s order. Unfortunately my face is still as round as the full moon. There is no sign of my face deflating from round to oval shape.
Time to think of a new month resolution for the month of February…what’s my next sin?
