1. I will not refer to myself as an old lady. I may be thirty----, but everyone knows my psychic age is seventeen. I briefly considered celebrating this idea by buying the nude mesh leggings, but alas, they are still ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO DOLLARS. Eff that. Will procure $13 zipper leggings at Target or make my own.
Please note: LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS. Be sure your ass is covered when you leave the house. And I know you'd never consider wearing leggings as pictured above, even if they had neon zippers with triangle tabs. (Do I sound like an old lady? In 1983-1991 we covered our asses. Is all I'm saying.)
2. I will wear impossibly cool outfits at all times. Even when "popping over" to Trader Joe's (you never know when you'll spot someone you know and be forced to leave without potato chips in order to avoid talking to her), sitting on my ass blogging,* or sitting on my ass watching bad reality TV. Perhaps should also watch less bad reality TV?
3. I will not ---- -- ----. This one's a secret. (Duh.) It's a compulsive habit I have that I would very much like to be rid of. I'm hoping by putting it out there(ish), I can actually cut it out this time.**
4. Um....
5. I will take up yoga, eat organic, stick to a budget. Stop twittering when I'm hanging out with my husband. The usual.
*As of 9:17am on Jan 2, I have already broken this resolution.
**Broke this one yesterday. But I will not be deterred. 2010 is the year I become perfect.
pick my nose?
ReplyDeleteteehehehe... you are a riot!
ReplyDeletei THOUGHT that was you at TJ's. listen, greeting with mouth-kisses is perfectly traditional in some cultures.
ReplyDeletei need to be nicer to my boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteactually, I do pick my nose occasionally. are you saying THAT is a bad habit too??
ReplyDeleteno resolution list for liv. i feel quite overwhelmed thats a new year already. 2009 wasnt a great one and i am a bit scared.
ReplyDeleteok, i am in for the cool outfits even when buying potato chips.
its an important one for a fashion designer.
happy new year!
Oh, leggings as pants. I fully agree that you should cover your ass if you're wearing leggings. And no, you don't sound like an old lady.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I should add "wear outfits" to my resolutions now. Not even impossibly cool ones (though I may try on occasion); just any sort. I've turned into a pajama bum since I started working from home.
i don't know what the hell you're talking about, but i wear outfits like that ALL THE TIME. leotard and all... there's nothing quite like highlighting my ass with big fat POLKA DOTS.
ReplyDeleter would love it if i knocked off #5. i should try, but the internets gave me ADD.
ReplyDeletea good solid list.
i'm going to guess "bite my nails". that should be on my list for the year, but being that it's been happening FOR ALMOST THREE DECADES and i've never been able to quit, it just seems like i'm asking to fail!
ReplyDeletei literally had the aforementioned target leggings in my cart and put them back... now they are all gone! curses.
ReplyDeletegood luck with the resolutions!
i am fairly certain the target leggings will still be at the fayetteville location as the cool clothes ALWAYS stick around ... a high point of this part of the world.
ReplyDeleteand as far as resolutions go, i think i am opposed. but that being said yoga and exercise in general are things i should start doing. oh that and making tortillas from scratch, and more macarons, and going through the various keller recipe books.
did i say i don't do resolutions?
@cevd I think you should resolve to comment on this blog more often. where the eff have you been??
ReplyDeletemight as well just add that to the list of non-resolution resolutions.
ReplyDeletewhat a great list! but even better is your honesty.
ReplyDeletei didn't make any resolutions this year, i don't think. or maybe i'm just being dishonest...
happy 2010!
good list. i wish i had given mine more thought.
ReplyDeletemy only resolution was to stop giving my bf purple nurples
really a bad habit
Great list.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the organic overpriced market is where you see everyone. I dare not go in unglossed lips and dumpy jeans anymore.
Re: #5, I look at my iphone screen more than Ben's eyes. Yipes.
Almost a week in, and I still don't have my resolutions squared away. Doesn't bode well. I like yours, though.
ReplyDeleteThe part about leggings is perfect. My girlfriend and I walked around the other day mumbling 'not pants' while observing over 1/2 of people wearing leggings. This should be a fashion headline somewhere.
ReplyDeleteBest resolutions post ever. Cracking up here.
ReplyDeleteLove that you broke your first resolution before the end of typing it out.
