So I Have That Going For Me

About Wednesday this week I said, "Oh snap. I'm failing miserably on my Lazy Resolutions."

1. Increase my Vitamin C intake. This one has proven to be the easiest. Not only have I had a glass of orange juice a day, but I kicked it up a notch and bought a half gallon "with calcium", so I have that going for me.

2. Become rich. Totally dropped the ball on this one, so I bought a lottery ticket today when I stopped for gas and a mocha. I still have to go to work on Monday unless I remember to buy another ticket. Keep you fingers crossed for me.

3. Use more big words in my posts. Reading the dictionary is boring. I don't know if I want to do this anymore. I'll read my Thesaurus from the 8th grade tomorrow. This is the one I was stoked about too. I've disappointed myself again. Perhaps after a good nights sleep I'll be able to find a big word that I can weave through my posts all week.

I walked into work today and discovered I had the same exact sweater on as one of the other ladies I work with. I handled it much better than the time I went to a wedding about 16 years ago. This time I laughed. 16 years ago when this woman dared to wear the same dress as me, I got pissy. I've mellowed in the past few years, so I have that going for me too.

Lazy Resolutions

I realize we are well into the New Year and the resolution thing is old news. Hell most of you have already broken yours by now. But I came up with 3 resolutions I think I might be able to pull off.

1. Increase my Vitamin C intake.
2. Become rich.
3. Use more big words in my posts.

Really if you take a look, they're pretty do-able.
I've already bought a half gallon of Orange Juice, when I finish this post I'm having a glass. That will make three days in a row of drinking orange juice.
I'm buying a lottery ticket tomorrow. When I said, 'Become rich.' I didn't mean by working, I meant by luck. Remember, I don't want to put too much effort into this.
I have a dictionary at hand whenever posting. There are so many words in there I'm not using. Actually, this is the resolution that has me the most pumped, not my health or financial independence, but my blogs. I'll pick a word at the beginning of the week and try to use it in my posts all week. I'm not going to call is Big Word Monday or Dictionary Tuesday, again to much work. I'll pick a new word on which ever day I feel like, that way it won't become a chore.

I've put a full half hour to 45 minutes of cogitation into these resolutions, with these three I will become healthier, wealthier and expand my vocabulary. I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner.
