There is a lot I need to do,
There is a lot I should do,
There is a lot I want to do,
Yet, I am here, blogging away,
In the morning of this,
lovely lazy Sunday.

New new-year resolutions...
We are still in the first week of a shining new new-year. As the keen minds reading my blog might have noticed, I like to use new-year as noun, a the second new as an adjective to describe the new-year as new. Phew!
I digress...where was I? Yes, we are still in the first week of a shining new new-year. And it is not too late to make new new-year resolutions. I am aware of this concept, but I have never been able to relate to it. When I decided to lose my excess 40 pounds a few years ago, it was August, and it was more of end-of-summer-early-fall-resolution than a new new-year resolution. I have yet to understand the connection between the earth's revolution and my ability to understand and overcome my shortcomings. Of course, not all resolutions, new new-year ones or otherwise are related to shortcomings, but my guess is, a good percentage are perceived to be related to personal shortcomings. So am I making new new-year resolutions to welcome 2009? Not sure yet. However, I did make a list of potential new new-year resolutions and the dork inside me decided to categorize them. So I now present, 'the categories' that my new new-year resolutions fall into:
A) Want to, but need not
B) Will do, but should not
C) Should do, but will not
D) Dont know, dont care
A) entails ideas such as my desire to climb Mt Rainier, scuba dive and learn Spanish
B) scares people since some of my potential new new-year resolutions include doing ridiculous stunts on my bike or buying another one
C) was a moot point since I really should buy a new car, but I don't see that happening (I love madhumati!)
and finally, there is D) where 'other' people have told me what I should be doing but as usual, I dont know, dont care :-)
Got any potential new new-year resolutions that fall into these categories?
Having said all this, I know for sure that I will stop using annoying phrases such as new new-year as it is driving me nuts!
