Happy New Year! I hope the year continues to unfold with the same optimistic energy it seemed to begin with. As usual, many people had New Year’s resolutions all made out. I thought I’d wait about 2 weeks before checking in to see how ya’ll were doing.
So….how are you doing with those resolutions? Well, if I’m gonna ask you for info then the least I can do is give you some myself so here goes: one resolution was to stop using the word “Fuck” in all its variations. Permanently. Two weeks into the year and I can report that my success rate has been about 20% (although if I had a curse bank it’d be a bit lower, I think). It’s not that I curse like a sailor, it’s just that I use the word whenever I feel like it. Remember the goal was to stop completely! Yeah, let’s just say it’s a work in progress. Another resolution was to work on my social life. In a nutshell, I want to go out more and do more things since I’ve become quite the home body. Success rate on this one is about 50%; I have gone out more, I have made more of an effort toward making actual changes but I can’t say I’m completely satisfied with progress here. I left most of my friends in one country and I honestly don’t feel too motivated to find new friends because let’s face it, the older you get the fewer quality new friends you tend to have (or maybe that’s just me). Enough about me though. Tell me about you; your new year so far, any resolutions, progress…whatever you wanna share, it’s all good.
Another resolution is to blog more and on that, I’m giving myself a thumbs up! Talk to me and lemme know what’s new and good with you

Happy New Year to you too! I don’t see anything wrong with the word you resolved to stop using, but I guess it’s not a bad idea to keep using it from being an unconscious habit. I didn’t make resolutions this year and am just trying to nibble away slowly at my long to-do list and am taking the New Year one day at a time. Have a healthy and Happy Ne Year!

Hi Panty Buns, it’s so great to hear from you. Ummm….on top of “that” word being a “bad word”, I also happen to live in a very conservative society so even saying conjures up images of me that aren’t quite accurate. I figured I should at least give the quitting a try. Good luck with ur long to do list. Mine has 10 items; I’m hoping to accomplish them all this year. Happy New Year, wordpress friend
