New Year's resolutions - such a pain...but if I can actually keep just this one resolution I will make the mister and the rest of the family SO much happier and no doubt my friends will be a bit happier too.
It's something that my family has told me over and over I MUST do...they have even told me to practice saying it every day in front of the mirror before I leave the manse...
My New Year's Resolution for 2010 is to say NO. No to being a slave. No to letting myself be taken advantage of. No to people who are perfectly capable of helping themselves. No to fringe friends and their offspring and their offspring. No to ridiculous requests for my time and money. No. No. No. Such an easy word to type. Such an easy word to spell. Such an easy word to think...but for me, such a HARD word to say! But I'm going to try...right after I finish making soup and appetizers for 200 for a wedding reception tomorrow night! January 3rd is my start day...I'm going to say NO. No. No. NO! Heck, I'll probably say NO every single day to every single person. It will be the first word out of my mouth. Or the second. Maybe the 3rd but I'll definitely say it...as in No, of course that won't be a problem...No, I'm happy to help...No, I'm sure the mister won't mind...No Problem...No worries...No habla Espanol...Yep, I'm going to say NO in 2010.
Happy New Year to us all. And God help us/me.
