New Year's Resolutions
I don't remember if I made any last year. Other than maybe find a job. Which I did. I'm too lazy to look and see if I made a list, so I'll just assume that I did and failed to do anything but the job part.
This year's list is quite simple. Three things. Three attainable things. Well, two are attainable and one could be attainable if I didn't have standards.
1. Read 100 books.
2. Jump out of a perfectly good airplane on my birthday.
3. Boyfriend.
That first one I could do in the first 100 days. The key is branching out and not just reading trashy romance novels. Since I got a neat Bible for Christmas that has readings for every day of the year, I do have the attainable goal inside of that goal of reading the Bible this year. Now that will be a cool accomplishment.
The second one just requires a reservation, a payment, and taking off two days from work. Need to get on that taking days off thing.
That third one scares the bejeebers out of me, not gonna lie. I added it last minute. Well, five minutes before midnight. The discussion that came with that decision involved "having sex" as a NYR, which is when I realized that I can have sex easily (and that's all it's been in the past - easy), but I couldn't add "have sex" to my list without something to make it a bit more of a legitimate goal. Hence the "boyfriend" part. Because that indicates caring and commitment and FEELINGS that would change the nature of sex.
