This is a very non Holiday

[primsong]

I've never been able to think of anything to do for New Years. I dislike resolutions because they invariably fall by the wayside, and I never cared for the taste of alcohol, plus I'm a morning person so I'm a zombie after 10pm. The most exciting thing that happens is putting up a new calendar.

Do you do anything that's more interesting? I'm open to suggestions!

same here. which reminds me, where is that thing?

[primsong]

So true! I had to go digging through a couple paper piles to find the one I'd bought too.

Oh right, I have a new calendar. ;-)

I've never had good luck with the usual "I will go to the gym" sorts of resolutions, but these last couple years I've done very open-ended resolutions - "be less of a doormat", "seek more balance in my life", with success or failure not to be measured till the end of the year - and those have worked out very well for me. This year I'm going to try to take better care of myself (especially with regard to physical, mental, and emotional health) and learn how not to take on more than I can handle.

Sounds much more practical, kind of like fortune cookies. If it's worded vaguely enough the chances of feeling it was at least somewhat fulfilled will rise considerably. And learning not to bite off more than you can chew is an excellent skill to develop, though I don't know if any of us ever completely manages to conquer that one.

Well, we ended up playing Settlers of Catan, watching the Sydney fireworks on my niece's laptop, and then finishing the game.

Actually, that sounds about right - we ended up playing a word game here. It never occurred to me to watch fireworks from elsewhere, I'll have to keep it in mind. :-)
