PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Announce them here.1. Stalk motormouth more often. 2. Have more madcap fun with Zombs. 3. Rearrange Boo's cutlery on a weekly basis. 4. Use the strikeout feature more often. Nothing is less exciting on my list more fun. 5. Lose five pounds by spring break. 6. Watch Grease 2 for the 200th time.  A Slice of Manga

1. "RE: Resolutions for the New Year" |
1. Reach 25,000 MCR points and not spend them on the TV.2. Clear out at least a third of my DVD want list. 3. Get through the winter in something faintly resembling one piece. 4. Plasti-seal most of the windows in the apartment and see if that does anything for my heating bill. 5. Use every feature on my new phone at least once. 6. See Coraline. 7. Throw a Last Day Of Dubya party thread, if someone doesn't beat me to it. 8. Beat Starcraft II. (Conditional: Blizzard has to release it first.) 9. Buy a new computer sometime during the summer. 10. Emotionally prepare for the Mets '09 collapse.

(I know you're out there, I just can't find you!) 3. Look in the thesaurus for new and interesting ways to say RTFG. 4. Get rid of some of those massive paper piles in my house. 5. Watch enough Netflix movies so that Mr. B doesn't pick on me for not using our membership. (I'm watching "Once" today. Watched "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" last night. I'm getting an early start on this one.) 6. Not ban my own mother, just threaten to do it. (This is a standard on the list each year.) 7. Feed my children things other than mac and cheese and chicken nuggets. ETA #7 after reading Kimmah's list.

18. "Got a book suggestion for you, Bebo" |
and anyone else looking for a good read:The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. Finished reading it last week, what a good find-I picked it up because I used to deal with a client from Guernsey now and then and I was curious about whatever history the book might touch on. A character rich and absorbing read. As far as resolutions go, I make the usual- one of which is to reduce time spent on the computer. I'm afraid if I join goodreads I'll be sucked in even more

Sounds like a good book, Moony, so I looked it up and found this excerpt.For my resolutions: 1. Eat better.
2. Get some more sunshine and exercise.
3. Enjoy life more.
4. Control my stress more.
5. Read more good books. If I do 1 and 2, I think I will see an improvement in my weight. I'm not using the dreaded "D" word this year.

I think it is strange we continue to use "pounds" vs kilos when we are speaking of weight. I don't think in terms of of "gallons", or "miles", and never think in terms of "Fahrenheit" (I actually had to look up the spelling!), but never use the metric equivalent when it comes to weight. I wonder why that is?

Most of the teens and Gen Y kids I've talked to like Facebook better than Myspace because it has more controls over who and what people can see.I have a facebook account. It's very easy. Go to Facebook.com, log in and add whatever info and pics you want. Facebook can search your address book to see if there are any matches. Several of my friends had Facebook accounts that I didn't even know about. I listed my high school and college so that people could find me and I've heard from three friends from high school that I hadn't talked to in over 20 years. Have fun!

facebook is more for grownups. myspace is more about layout templates, music, graphics and the like. facebook doesn't give you all that 'freedom', which makes it much more appealing to the more mature crowd. it is also much harder to just randomly find people. Where there were maybe ten people my age from my high school on myspace there are forty or more on facebook and new people adding every day. it's a great way to find friends from the past. it doesn't feel as juvenile as myspace does.

63. "RE: Resolutions for the New Year" |
Congrats on the weight loss. I would like to see 140 this year myself. Only 25 for me to go. Perhaps we should be 140 buddies.Regarding Facebook, I am undecided. While I will agree with Kimmah, I think, about it being more grown up, it's still very "My Spacey" to me. And it can be a lot of work. I am a very sporadic facebooker. Maybe if I were there more often, I would like it more. I like my blog.
Tis the season.

Yep, I long to have someone say, "Boo, you look too skinny." I would be happy to give you some of my chubby cheeks.
Yes. I have forced myself - especially since I cannot do any cardio right now. Hopefully I can at least get back into the pool in about two weeks.

Does writing your resolutions down help make them happen??!! 1. Lose the weight I gained two summers ago when I injured my foot.
2. Quit drinking diet coke (this has been a goal for too long that I can never succeed at!)
3. Beat my time from last year in our local triathlon and learn how to pace myself so I can climb (on my bike) to the top of this big-ass hill in town.
4. Figure out what to do with the rest of my life: go back to work and/or go back to school and/or figure out something to do to give back to my community.
5. Go back to reading one good piece of literature or non-fiction in between every mind candy book I read.
6. Make plans to see two old friends who live less than an hour away but haven’t seen in way too long.

*sits next to fellow diet coke addict*I drink a hellastupid amount of the stuff. Are you going to go cold turkey, or wean yourself off gradually? I think I may have to go the cold turkey route. Other resolutions
Keep off the weight I loss since summer 07 (30 pounds) and lose the last bit to get under the 140 mark. I did for a brief shining moment, but I was doing the fast/cleanse prep for one of those horrid tests so I don't think that counts. People actually pay for cleanses? *boggle* Work out at least twice a week. And I found a dance moves class that go on when DD is in school, and has the flexibility so I can make up a class in another location if I have to miss. Get some meaningful (OK any) employment outside of my house that will allow me to have adult conversation. Cook at home more Spend less Get washer/dryer fixed or replaced.

88. "Cold Turkey" |
A few years ago I stopped buying cases of diet coke and just would buy a 20 oz. bottle once a day when I was out. I figured 20 oz. was better than 24 oz (or 36 oz on a really hot summer day). I haven't really been able to get down to none at all. It's amazing how I go jonesing for it (especially on a day when I'm snowed in and can't get out, lol!)The price of a 20 oz. bottle has gone up a lot in the past two years too (from $1.09 to $1.79!) so I figure the money I spend on diet cokes in a week exactly works out to the cost of a manicure. I love getting manicures, but I hate spending the money when I know I can do it myself. So I'm hoping that will help motivate me. Plus I'm going to keep rereading the part in the book, "Skinny Bitch" where she talks about how diet coke is poison! P.S. My dryer is 20 years old give or take a little and it squeaks horrendously when it's on, but it still works so I'm holding on until it dies!

My dryer is about that old (we inherited it when we bought the house). It works about 2/3 of the time, but I have to lean against the door and listen for the heat to kick in. It has no handle so it is held closed with a child fridge lock and duct tape. Unfortuantely, the laundry room may have been built around the washer dryer (it certainly was around the deep freezer)so it is going to be a challenge to get the pair out and new ones in. It will involve taking apart two shelving units and clearing out all the clutter and doing some serious bribing of the delivery guys

To do things at least a little better than I have been.I need to every day as DW recovers for at least a few weeks and our college-junior DS moves from Indy to here with us. DW registers for public fall kindergarten in March, so it's going to be an eventful year coming up.

1). Lose 5 pounds. And get more toned. Losing the 5 would go a long toward the toning because all I really need to do both is up the exercise ante. 2). Keep up my reconnection to my dreams of my youth. It took turning 50 to discover that those dreams still matter and weren't just youthful naivete. 3). Blog more often. Or just write more often...anywhere. It gives me pleasure and makes me think more clearly. And clear thinking is truly a worthy goal every year.

LAST EDITED ON 12-29-08 AT 09:15 AM (EST)1. Lose weight and get back down to where I was before the "move to Charlotte" meltdown. (I am soooo pissed at myself. I worked so friggin' hard to lose that weight. I looked and felt great. Then we moved and things completely fell apart.) 2. Learn how to use my camera. I bought the Canon Rebel XTi and still treat it like my point and shoot. 3. Stop watching so much television. Gah. 4. Get outdoors more often. For Pete's sake, I live in a warm climate, I should be outside all the time! 5. Embrace Charlotte and North Carolina. My mother has a cross-stich that says "Bloom Where You Are Planted." I need to employ that thought process. I'm *still* homesick and need to get over it already. 6. Make some new IRL friends. I made some poor choices for friends over the past year. Really poor choices. Liars and manipulators do not make good friends. Eff you, Meg! (This chick has the same moral compass as Lacey from Rock of Love.) 7. Be more patient. I snap much too easily. 8. Love on Bear as much as possible. The old boy doesn't have much time left.   Proud member of The Tribe.

I always liked my dear departed friend Bruno's list (hey, he made it to 87, don't snigger):1. Eat more red meat
2. Eat more saturated fats
3. Get less sleep
4. Exercise less
5. Build up on that drinking He used to say "increase smoking" too, but eventually his doctors convinced him to quit. I don't make NY resolutions because I find them easier to break than other promises to myself. I think this year the goal is to hang on to job and help Sneetch find one once she graduates (!!!) in May.

1. Write a Big Brother fanfic.2. Make my host more exciting than the Chenbot. (Hey, I have to have one I can definitely stick with.) 3. Actually finish said fanfic in a reasonable amount of time. 4. If an attractive female Survivor changes her hairdo mid-season, keep my lips zipped about it, especially within a week after failing to notice my own wife's new 'do. 5. Only sic Rocco on people who really deserve it. Unfortunately, the rest of them will be facing down with... Mario! Pictures of the new little demon to come later.

Announce them here. 1. Make peace with the USPS. *snort!* 2. Finally have foonermints and I make it to Gordon Ramsey-land! (I really would love to!) 3. Accept all assignments at work, and be thankful to get them. (I love my job!) 4. Purchase a motorcyle and successfully complete the CHP course and license. Get promoted at work. (yes, they're related.) 5. Read the Harry Potter series. Finally! 6. Make it possible for my daughter to be an exchange student next fall in England. 7. Arrange as many "pitch" meetings as possible, and at least one sale -- 8. Address that ol' graduate student loan debt. Be savvy in my ability to pay off the interest and the principle, and make more than a small dent. (geg? any pointers?) 9. Keep my ZERO credit card balance and not own a credit card. 10. Try not to complain, and find the positive instead.

1. Clean out my home office. This could take me all year.
2. Get a handle on my eating habits, and try to lose weight by combining better eating habits with increased exercise using the WiiFit we got. Not by running and slipping on ice like a friend did yesterday. He blew out his ankle and needed emergency surgery.
3. Get my workload at work under control, so I can grow my position.
yeah, boring, but I'm working on a 4th one.

I've been doing this - writing them down every year since 2004. It has helped me reach and maintain some goals. Here goes for 2009 (It will be my time):1. Meditate at least 6x per week
2. Work out minimum of 2x per week
3. Weigh 155 or less for one month (I got to my goal this year but couldn't maintain so that's what I'm trying for)
4. Get 5 or more PDU's (Professional Development Units for PMP Project Management Professional so I can maintain my status for 3 year period)
5. Travel - at least twice - already have yoga retreat planned for end of January
6. Get new contract/job in my field
7. Take care/pamper myself more
8. New relationship/love
9. read more/less tv - especially channel surfing
10. go out more

1) Actually post on OT rather than just lurk, and try to reestablish some of the friendships I started and enjoyed before I dropped off the face of the earth.2) Try to read at least a few of the books reviewed in '1001 Books to Read Before You Die' instead of re-reading the same books over and over again. (Granted, it helps if there is enough lag time between readings so that I can't exactly remember the ending three pages into the book, but still, I really need to expand my literary horizons.) 3) Come straight home after work more nights than not, instead of stopping at the local watering hole. Cook at home more often, 'cos you know what?, I'm just as good a cook as DH is. 4) Try to write in my journal every day. My sister is right, writing things down helps me work out my problems and makes me feel better. 5) Decide once and for all what I want to be when I grow up. Happy New Year to all, and my wishes to you for a safe, happy, and healthy 2009!!
