Party like it's the last New Year's before the Mayan calendar ends!

So what's everybody doing for New Years? I can't find any fireworks displays locally, and most everybody around has plans already, so it looks like I'll be ringing it in with Dr. Pepper in front of the tv. I'm not complaining! And something may open up and that'll be fine too. It's all good.

Resolutions I have so far:

1. Encourage the good habits. Take a shovel to the bad.
2. Keep in touch with people better. I don't have being in Alaska as an excuse anymore. (And now I have people in AK to keep in touch with!)
3. Read more. Write more.
4. Create something every day. Even if it's just a sandwich. Make something I enjoy and enjoy it.
5. Give more. At least one charity a month worked before. Budget's tighter since I've been out of work, but I can always give something. (Operationsmile.org has an especially heartbreaking commercial out. As does the ASPCA.)
6. Stop saying/thinking 'It's not good enough. I can't show anybody yet. It's not done. I can do better. I need to fix it first.' Because I have said that for 7 years and it's no better than it was then. Declare it done and go on! Submit it, post it, publish it. Do it!

That's it for now. If I don't see or hear from you tonight, Happy New Year! And a MWAH for midnight.

Good resolutions. Especially number 7! I need to write more this year.

This is the first year in a few where I'm going out instead of chilling at home for New Year's Eve. I like relaxing by myself with some tasty drinks :) Hope you enjoy your night!

Number 7? Oh well. Hope you had a good time! I did the catlady thing and stayed home to watch Time Square on tv.

Oh whoops, I meant number six. Maybe reading/typing more carefully should be my 2012 thing!

Happy New Year to you! I guess my only resolution for this year is to limit lolcatting/stalling online. Good luck with yours!

A very happy New Year to you too! :D We went to a friend's to celebrate, "old people" style - we sat around and chatted for hours. xD
