New Year’s Resolutions 2020

 

To resolve or not to resolve, that is the question. One of many questions, anyway. Can you even make new year’s resolutions after a year like 2020? Is there in wisdom in that? Is that just wishful thinking?

Resolution Number One: Go to the gym more. 

SNORT

Resolution Number Two: Travel more. 

SNORT

Resolution Number Three: Go back to not making New Year’s Resolutions. 

DING! DING! DING!

My “normal” M.O. is to not rush in to making any rash resolutions and wait until about February before actually committing to any plan of action. I like to have time to consider all the draw backs, downsides, and unintended consequences. Before I leap into the abyss I like to give it a long, hard, look.

I should probably treat my Amazon shopping cart more like a resolution. Maybe if I spent more time considering the ins and outs of buying a cat water fountain, or 36 rolls of washi tape-- based on the complete works of Vincent van Gogh and available with FREE SHIPPING—FREE! SHIPPING!--  before I tossed it into my shopping cart...

Not my cat. My cat HATES the fountain. 
But the shipping was free...

But no—Amazon shopping is amazing. I’m always so surprised to see what I bought. Every day is like my birthday—Look! Tempera paints for the grandkids! With matching brushes! Kraft Lime Cilantro salad dressing by the gallon—what? I really LIKE it! I’m already on my third gallon.

So delicious! So low calorie!
And free shipping!

 And some of the stuff I buy I really NEED—like printer ink, and a white noise machine that mimics all the sounds of the rainforest—because being fully rested is IMPORTANT. 

Then there are the books... “Where the Wild Things Are,” and “Harold and the Purple Crayon” share space in my cart with” Harriet Wolf’s Seventh Book of Wonders,” and “Killers of the Flower Moon.” I highly recommend ALL of them. Five out of five stars.

Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to go google “101 things to do with washi tape” and see if I can live up to my resolution to “Use the Stuff I Buy on Amazon.”

Look how pretty!
