Footloose and Fancy Free
Every year I make a list of resolutions, half of which I never keep. This year I've decided to make only one. That way, you know, if I fail, I can fail completely, woohoo!
Basically, I want to worry less.
I worry about everything. My grades, my weight, my cooking skills, whether or not I'm a good person, this adult-onset acne Laurie keeps saying sets in at 30 (thanks, BFF, LYLAS), the list extends interminably. In fact! I often worry about my worrying! Is it still in the normal range, or have I ventured into neuroses? Luckily, reading your blogs tells me I am just like everyone else, you worrywarts, you!
In any case, 2007 will be The Year of Less Worrying. I think it's appropriate I'll be ringing it in snuggled into a hammock in Belize.
So if you don't hear from me for the next few weeks, it's because my parents still have dial-up, or I'm out of the country.
I'll leave you with a wish of happy holidays! And a happy, WORRY-FREE new year!

Best. Resolution. Ever.
I hope you and The Boy have a fantastic break and a wonderful vacation with much hammock lounging. Worry-free, of course!

Wait, if this is the worry-free year, does that mean that you'll start up with the worrying again in 2008?
Look at me, already worrying about you a year ahead of myself.
Have an awesome new year!

Hey, don't stress about the adult onset acne. I have this wonderful cream the doctor prescribed for me that has taken care of all my bumps and general overall after-30 ruddiness. Let me know if you need the name, if this happens to you.

Sounds pretty good to me. Now if only I actually made resolutions...

im surrounded by worrywarts. I hope that you realise this resolution... there is nothing worse than worrying. It achieves nothing except stress.
I kicked worrying completely a few years back. Nice to be relaxed now. Has cons too, maybe balance is the key - but... fuck it. :)
Happy New Year lady!
