Well. It's January 19th. And I think this is THE perfect time to discuss your New Year's Resolutions.

"huh?"

"what?"

Yah. Remember those? TWO WHOLE WEEKS ago you wanted to add some new stuff to your life, give up some habits, lose some weight perhaps?

And then, now, they're probably long forgotten. You're reading this with a cigarette in one hand and a chocodile in the other. And you've given up. "ah well, stupid resolutions!" you say. All is not lost little bunny. All is not lost.

SO I am here to propose the NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION SUBSTITUTION

You simply just substitute a lesser form of the goal you had set! Like, lets say yours was "I am gonna go on a diet!" (real original by the way) SO instead of a diet your resolution substitution would be "go on a diet...for a day!" get the picture?

here are some other common ones...

RESOLUTION: Be Nicer to people
SUBSTITUTION: Be nicer to self. YOU are people too!

RESOLUTION: WATCH LESS TV
SUBSTITUTION: WATCH LESS NEWS

RESOLUTION: Exercise more
SUBSTITUTION: Exercise peace. as in massages and pedicures.

RESOLUTION: SPEND LESS MONEY
SUBSTITUTION: SHOP ONLY SALES AND/OR TARGET. ANYthing at target is fair. Target discount store.

RESOLUTION: Read more books.
SUBSTITUTION: BUY more books.

RESOLUTION: BE MORE ORGANIZED. LESS CLUTTER IN LIFE
SUBSTITUTION: BUY MORE CONTAINERS AT CONTAINER STORE AND/OR IKEA

RESOLUTION: Be on computer less. Get outside more
SUBSTITUTION: Get Wireless device. Blog on porch.

There you go! No failure. Just SUBSTITUTE! Now, tell me YOUR resolution substitution! And start dropping those words in conversation. Lets see if it catches on. You will be WAY hip and cool with your new phrase. SOOOOO city.

SUBSTITUTION: let my kids play more with other kids!

Mia culpa, PeeWee. I hope that our award did not imply that your posts are not worth reading. Quite the contrary, as so very clearly illustrated by this brilliant post.

You are like a breath of fresh air on the blogosphere. Our goal was for everyone to be as appreciative of your creativity as us. :)

K, coffee enemas? Not me. Even though you know my affinity for cleansing farms.

Such an awesome post.
