Ah well. I'm happy with my 50-50 status. Last years (that I completed) were to sing at karaoke at least 5 times (stage fright!), use my iPod touch every day (yay), and to save money more successfully. This years are to lose 30 more lbs (I did 30 this past year, I can do it again), get married to my fiance and to do one good deed a month. I'm already working on my January good deed, and the weight loss continues without interruption...I assume I'll get married as planned.

I do take stock of my life and what I want and how I'm doing on getting closer to my goals. There's something too forced about date-based resolutions.

It worked out so well I never felt the need to make another. I made one resolution, about 1995, wherein I resolved to not beat the crap out of anyone first thing in the morning.

I used to make "school year" resolutions, but they never seemed to stick. Last year I resolved to try to be less afraid of things, especially change. Using that resolution, I've ended up teaching in Bahrain! So, I'm thinking that I need more abstract goals rather than concrete ones. This year I'm resolving to be more social. Of course, I just ignored that one tonight as I bailed on pizza with friends due to the jet lag of coming back to the Middle East. However, the nice thing about thematic resolutions, they're vague enough that you can wipe "failure" away and just keep trying.

It's an amazingly lame little resolution, too. Not quite "I resolve to keep my sock balls organized by size and color," but close. But I'm off to a good start! So far, I've managed to floss every night of 2009. ...hey, my dentist says it's important, you know? Cavities aren't superfantastic!

I don't make resolutions every year, but when I do make them, I tend to keep them. Last year's resolution was to read at least 12 books in 2008, and I read 13. My resolution for 2006 was to lose 20 lbs., and I ended up losing nearly 30. This year's resolutions are to once again read at least 12 books, to de-clutter and organize my house, to get at least seven hours of sleep per night, and to be kind to everyone I encounter.
