I’m sick.
No, not in the head. Okay, I am that, too, but I’m physically sick. I think I’m getting better, but since Monday afternoon I’ve shuffled from the couch to the kitchen for meds and then to bed. All of this down time has given me plenty of time to reflect on the past year (which I didn’t really do) and to think about the new year (which I actually did do!)
Without further ado, I bring you my 2014 Resolutions!
I resolve to:
- Constantly work on improving myself
- Continue working on not comparing myself to others
- Not kill anyone. Unless it is with kindness. And if that really works, then my life just got so much better!
- Eat more chocolate
- Check Facebook, Pinterest and Word Press at least once a day
- Have a pajama day
- Pick up the phone and call my friends and not just text them funny pictures I find
- Cross multiple items off my bucket list
- Watch the movie The Bucket List
- Read lots of good books.
So, there you have it! My resolutions for the new year. Did any of you make resolutions? Do you plan to keep them? 🙂
Did That Just Happen Blog 
These are really wonderful resolutions. All very doable and funny too. How are they working out for you?
So far so good! 🙂 The not comparing myself to others is one I’ve been working on for a bit, I think it takes practice! But, I’ve checked Pinterest every day so far! LOL!
I like crossing things off the bucket list. That’s a resolution everyone should try to make!
I agree!!! I’m a big fan of having and acting on the items on our bucket lists! As silly as some of the items are on my list, it helps keep me grounded and reminds me that adventures are good for the soul!
Like you need a resolution to check Pinterest once a day?!?!? that’s a good one 🙂
🙂 I knew it was one I could keep!! I sometimes have to stack the deck in my favor!
Got to give yourself some little victories. What’s your weather like? Are you guys going back forth with the hold – cold like us?
We hit 70 and then have been below freezing for the past two days. Tonight we have a wind shift and will get the gulf blowing in and get up to the 50’s (still freezing to my TX blood) and possibly rain by Thursday. It’s insane. We’ve never been this cold before February!!
We’re at 37 right now, it never hit higher than 44 today. I have to heat on now but they’re saying we’ll get back into the 80s this weekend. Gonna suck if I have to the air back on. What a weird weather week, crossing my fingers that I don’t get sick like you’ve been. Hope you’re feeling better.
Great list! I love the killing with kindness! Hehe Good luck!! May the force be with you and all that 😉
Thanks! I’m not one to make resolutions, but was really inspired this year. 🙂
OMG that some card of calling the bathroom Jim just put my coworker and I into a fit of laughter! awesome. Thanks for making my day
My pleasure!! Going to the Jim is one of the funniest things I saw all of last year, super glad you guys enjoyed it!
LOVE all of these! Especially the chocolate. And very especially the not comparing ourselves to others – that is the ULTIMATE in self-destructive human tendencies!
Happy New Year, m’dear!
Thank Nic! 🙂 I really appreciate you swinging by to check them out!
Always good to have resolutions that are achievable..hehe!
Get well soon so that you can enjoy the wonderful weekend coming ahead!
Cheers!! 😀
Thanks! 🙂
You’re welcome, my friend!
May this weekend be a lovely one for you! Cheers~ 😀
Love your resolutions!! It’s funny to me… The more often I read other peoples NYR’s, it makes me want to go revise mine! Lol.
hahahaha – I’m the same, I read others and think “oh man, I should have ‘resolved’ that!”
I don’t get nearly enough credit for managing not to be a violent psychopath either! We have so much in common!
Yay! I’m always afraid it’s just me, so I’m super glad we have that in common!!
I like that it is a do-able list. I especially love the not comparing to others, I do that way too much then get sort of down about things. It’s wasted energy when we all have our own unique gifts. I’m excited to be able to read your posts this year, since I just barely met you at then end of 2013. I’m sorry your starting off your new year sick. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks and thanks! I’m not one to do resolutions, but I felt the need this year, and the not comparing myself to others is something I’ve been working on – and working on! You are right, it’s a waste of energy and it takes away my own joy. I’m getting better at it! 🙂
I’m looking forward to the new year and learning more about you, too!
I love that last image, about books, because I have done that before! If I am really into a book, I don’t want it to end. I get sad when I get into the last chapter and start reading slower 🙂
Me too!! LOL. I love a good book! I asked for (and got) an Amazon gift card for Christmas, so I’ve loaded up my Kindle with all the books I was too cheap to purchase!
Good luck on your plans.
Thanks! Happy New Year to you and your family!
I dont like to make resolutions, because I like to make my changes when I need to…..I kind of like to buck the system! 🙂 However, I think your list is awesome, and I wish you luck!! Happy New Years!
I don’t normally make resolutions, either. I’m all about making the changes as I see the need to make them – but this year I was inspired! 🙂 Thanks and Happy New Year to you guys, too!
Ugh! I hope you feel better! Rest. Rest. REST! BTW, these are fantastic resolutions 🙂
Thanks Emily – Mr. T has come down with it, too, I’m about to Lysol the entire house…
And thanks! I’m not normally one to make resolutions, but I felt the need this year!
Very good point about picking up the phone and calling friends instead of just texting funny pictures– that’s a habit I definitely fall into more than I care to admit. These are great resolutions!
Thanks Aussa! As funny as they are, I really did put a lot of thought into them! And I’m awful about not picking up the phone and actually calling my friends… It’s so bad that when I call they automatically ask “what’s wrong?” Lol
Oh, these are GREAT! I think you have a great list of very attainable resolutions!
All of the best of the best to you in 2014!
Thanks!! I put a lot of thought into resolutions I could keep and would actually help me as a person. And yes, chocolate does help! 🙂
Hope you and your family have a very blessed 2014!
Maybe I should make “Not kill anyone” my resolution LOL and eat more chocolate! Goodness, I can’t even remember my resolutions last year! 😦
Lol, I normally don’t make any, but felt inspired this year… And they seem silly, but if you think about it, they all will help me be a better person! 🙂 Especially chocolate!
I’ve been under the weather too – fighting with a cold. Anyway, good luck with those resolutions. That comic about he chocolate made me laugh. Thanks.
Oh I hope you feel better soon! Mr. T has joined me in being sick 😦 so our house needs to be quarantined!
I’m glad to have made you laugh just a bit!
My younger boy is joining me in the sick business too. Well, we still managed to get out, so it’s not that serious. I think the thought of going back to work and the frigid temperatures are psyching me out.
Lol, I hear that!!
I loved your list with the ecard images, I was cracking up at the “Jim” one! I hope you feel better soon. Planning to get my list posted later also 🙂
I’m glad you likes the list, I actually gave it a lot of thought! I can’t wait to see your list! 🙂
Awesome! I wonder if we could do reverse psychology on ourselves and instead make resolutions like, “I’d like to eat more chips, candy, text more, connect less, waste time, lose sleep, etc” and then not keep them, we’d be helping ourselves! Nonsense? haha! I love your resolutions, particularly, “Eat more chocolate” 🙂
Thanks! I really did think long and hard about resolutions I could keep and that would be good for me, and chocolate, well, I can keep that goal AND it’s good for me! 🙂
…I should add Jim to my resolutions 😀 Loved your chocolate one too! I’m not good with resolutions but I intend to keep trying to have an enjoyable balance of everything: fun and work, me time and family time, exercise and crafts, eating sweets and eating healthy etc. I did decide to start running again after a longer break, did my third run today, and now my heal is telling me to stop again. So the universe must be telling me again not to even try to make any exact promises!
Lol! Balance is a good thing, I spent many years working on the work/family balance and even longer accepting that “me time” WAS good for me and helped me be a better person!
I have to start running again, I’m very slow, but have kinda enjoyed it!
Good luck in 2014, Kate!
Thanks! 🙂
I only have one and it’s to stay offline when I’m not blogging! Hope you’re feeling better soon 🙂
That’s a good resolution – and there is no way I could handle that one! 🙂
Thanks, I really think I’m on the road to recovery… or I’m already tired of being sick and am convincing myself that the extra snot is a sign of recovery.
That may have been too much information. 🙂
