Complete Lack of Resolve

You guys are all so cute, worrying about your weight, when I'm the one who gained more than 50lbs in the past year and a half. Bite me.

A resolution implies something you want to do, but may not have the strength or willpower to see to the end. I don't have any resolutions; here are my plans:

Wean Roy when he hits one year old. Just four months to go mister, and the dairy-stand is closing.

Finish kiddie-proofing the house. Bring on the outlet covers, cupboard locks and baby gates!

Once the babe is off the boob, the weight is coming off this babe. In April, I'll break down and buy a scale, and much as it pains me to do so, I'll actually look at it. Whether I'll choose a diet, fasting, exercise or bulimia to lose the extra pounds remains to be seen.

Keep working on the house, in the hope we can sell this pig and get the fuck out of here. The new windows and exterior doors are (finally) going in next week. After that, we're looking at recarpeting the whole place (thanks Flash, you demon-spawned bitch from hell), shrinking the size of the brick platform the woodstove is on by a couple of feet, replacing the railings/bannisters, and finishing out the back office behind the laundry room.

What with being a full-time mommy and a full-time employee, I think that is quite enough on the agenda. Considering my day is already booked solid from 445am until 11pm every night, I don't think I'll be able to squeeze in much more. But by the end of the year, I'll be squeezing back into my old jeans.

If you want to get technical, a resolution is a course of action determined or decided on. So it is basically the same as a plan, but you don't hear people running around saying "resolutions change," whereas you hear people saying "plans change" all the time. So, our plans are better than your plans, in my opinion. ;)

Yes, but if we're talking about common understanding, new years resolutions are popular precisely because they are so frequently broken. It's why people feel free to make up wild shit for their resolutions - if they don't do it, no guilt involved, just a self-conscious giggle. That's why I'm calling these plans.

But hey, feel free to mock me roundly if I'm still nursing when Roy is 20 months. I'll make sure I say "plans change" at least once. ;)
