New Year and I Don't Really Have a To-Do List  

"To-Do List" sounds more reasonable to me than "Resolution." It sounds like there's a plan of action that could probably get done, whereas the other term sounds like you're sighing and going "Oh-kayyy, I do it. I resolve to do this better this year....*sighhhhh*"  See the difference?
     So far, though, the two big things I want to get accomplished this year are finish the "Valentine" fic I'm writing (my Muse hit me hard and won't let me go!), and two (and doesn't everyone have this kind of thing on their list?) lose weight and join a gym.  Seriously, though, it needs to be done. I miss wearing my cute panties (not that my current choices are ugly, or I'm not wearing any at all) and a lot of my clothes, especially the vintage stuff that  you have to be smaller to wear. And I'm not.  Plus, on the baby side, it's necessary that I lose weight before I get pregnant, since I found out that being an overweight mother can lead to complications in the pregnancy and be really bad for the baby.  Besides, all I have to do is look at this other girl at work who just had her son, is very overweight, drank Mountain Dew every day of her pregnancy, had a lousy attitude every day, and just generally made herself miserable through all three trimesters.  Now, she looks like crap, is even more cranky, and well....yeah...Plus, she brought him in to our work the day after she had him to show him off.  Hello-o? Stupidity?  It's flu season and he's a newborn; how idiotic are you?
   Gah! Sorry. Got trapped in a rant.
     Anyhoo, yeah.  I might actually post the fic, but I've seen how LJ can be about that, since they were really difficult to a friend of mine, so I'm kinda wary.  We'll see.
       Well, off to find breakfast and clean the house. Wheeee....
      ....and maybe make a To-Do List....

Holy cracktastic stupidity. Did some chick at the infamous grocery chain of doom actually guzzle caffeine while pregnant? Even my knowledge of healthy pregnancies, while in all likelihood unnecessary, extends to the facts of common sense.

I like the idea of your to-do list. I may adopt the idea myself as I have a few things I have to will-power away (smoking is too expensive, now). That way, I won't feel like a failure if I don't quite get them done (except the smoking because that is going away within the next week).

Yes, Ataxia, There Really Is a Dumbass...
Yeah, one of the front end girls would drink a 20 oz. M.D. every day! Is it bad that I thought it was hilarious that during her morning sickness part she actually tossed cookies in one of the aisles when an old lady asked her where taco shells were? (just the thought of them was enough to push her over...) Seriously, I know you really can't control the nausea, but I have a sneaking suspicion that if you eat healthily, you'll feel better! /:]
Yay! on the quitting smoking thing! WoOt! You can do it! You are fabulous!
We must plan Big Fun Sushi Spectacular...but that may have to wait a tad until I'm feeling okay about my bank account, ne c'est pas?
