A Friday Funny

(I know this one is a little hard to read, but you really just need to see the last frame. *g*)

Free Book Friday

Happy New Year! :party   (Well, in a few hours it will be, anyway.)

This week’s Free Book Friday prize is—appropriately, I think—Christie Ridgway’s Not Another New Year’s.

To enter the giveaway for this book, simply leave a comment to today’s post that includes the code FBF—for “Free Book Friday,” of course—to let me know you’re interested in the drawing. (U.S. residents only for the prize, please, but everyone is welcome to chat.)

Winner will be announced during our Happy Sunday post on…well, you know, Sunday.  Winner is also responsible for contacting me with her mailing information—i.e. I will not be contacting you—so be sure to check back in or you might not even know you won! :mistletoe

I’m not usually one to make New Year’s Resolutions, since I’ve learned the hard way that I feel like crud when I don’t keep them.

But this year, I thought I’d make a few that I think I can keep.

Spend more time watching movies & TV. There are about three hours each day that I’m spending away from the television, & those sitcoms & DVDs aren’t going to watch themselves.  I’m determined to do better in the New Year.

Adopt more stray cats. They say eight is enough, & I’m not there yet, so I’ve got my work cut out for me. :kitty

Stay home more. The once or twice a month I actually get dressed & go out is excessive, don’t you think?  I’m determined to stop letting people pressure me into doing things like going for groceries or to the doctor, & to become more of a homebody.

Write less. I’m averaging two, maybe two & a half books a year.  Who do I think I am—Danielle Steel?  I’ve gotta learn to slow down & pace myself. :sleep

Exercise less. I’m tired of trying to stay in shape & watch after my heart health.  My internal organs are at least 29 years old now, it’s time they grew up & started taking care of themselves!

Take up more bad habits, like drinking, smoking, & cussing.  They look like so much fun & I really feel like I’m missing out.

Become more selfish. I’m sick of being friendly & kind & generous.  It’s time to look out for A-Number 1.  That’s right—look out, world, it’s all about me now! :yougogirl

Spend more time stalking my hunky neighbor. The binoculars are still in the window, & the restraining order has been lifted, so it’s time to get back down to business. :stalker

So how about you?  What are some of your resolutions for the New Year, & do you think you’ll be able to keep them? :party
