Okay before we all get drunk tomorrow night, let us all post our New Years Resolutions here thus we can check back in the stupor of 1/1/07 and see which one we have already broke

I don't make New Year's Resolutions. Don't know why, I'm just not into that, I know many are. I can't drink either, I am allergice to any type of alcohol, I can't even use the hand sanitizers.

Ok, here goes:

Exercise every day - at least a little!
Dispute inaccuracies on my credit reports & get them removed
Walk my dogs twice a day - ties into the exercise thing.
Start saving money in an account without touching it.
Pay off dental & doctor bills incurred within the last 4 months
Start working on small improvements to my house - dishwasher, paint, etc - things I can do without breaking into my savings account.

I don't make resolutions, either. I try to set short and long term goals, instead. For example, last year my long term goal was to get out of debt. My short term goals were to save some money, even a few dollars a week, pay that extra on a bill. I paid off my smallest balance first. That way I could see some progress. Then I took that payment and added it to the next bill, and so on. I also cut down on extras, that saved some too. If I make the goals or resolutions too high, I can't attain them, so I try to make small ones, which cheer me on to others. Happy New Year All..Karen I can't drink either, on too many meds!!

OK...I am going to finish my Master's. Not this year, because I can't afford to go full time, but I'm going to be consistent..I've been working on it for 6 years, and I haven't been to a class in almost 2 years. I hate my job sooooo much, and this is the only way to change that. So, I am going to meet with a counselor in January and I'm going to go to classes, and I won't stop going this time, and I should be done in a little less than 2 years. Please remind me of this in the summer.

Don't feel bad fins, it has taken me almost 3 1/2 years to get my nursing degree, I will graduate this spring quarter. I could only go part time so it takes alot longer. You will get there. And I will remind you! Very Happy

I generally don't make resolutions, but I have one major one this year. I will NEVER (and I was taught nere to say never) NEVER take out anothe pdl as long as I live. and when I opened up my new account I had the option of opening a savings account along with the checking account for 5.00. I am going to put money in this account every pay. not a lot but enough so that I will have a little nest egg.

I made one last year...Which was PAY ALL OF MY CRAP OFF! Which I did! YAY! Smile

This year is to quit being a cranky butt. I can be one of the meanest people around..I don't mean it though. Smile

It's mainly the stress talking.

Yea, I have a few also.

1)Starting the first check I get in Jan. (5th) putting $50 every 2 weeks into savings and DON'T touch it...
2)I would also like to lose a little weight...

I'm going to take a cue from Jessi and add to mine..I'm going to be nicer. I'm going to stop "making faces". My husband says I always do that. Sorry, but people really annoy me..I'm going to work on that.

Fins--I say we get it all out of our systems when I get to you in....l2 days! Yippeee! Smile

We'll go be mean to people for 3 days...lol

Sounds good!!! I can't wait, you can mouth off, and I'll make faces! Twisted Evil

I make faces too...You should see me at work. Customers who call Priceline have no IDEA how we act..LOL If someone is rambling about nothing..I'm waving my arms around as if to say "SPIT IT OUT! I HAVE 15 CALLS IN LINE AND YOU'RE RAMBLING!"

And if someone gets snotty with me, I will not hesitate to imitate them silently to my supervisor who sits directly to my left.

And I've said before....When we put you on hold...You're not really on hold...You're on MUTE..I can hear EVERYTHING you are saying..LOL
