Never, Not EVER!


I’m a bit excited… The new challenge at Blog This is up. And the challenge is to write your New Years Anti-Resolutions. Things you’d like to promise NEVER to do again, the thing’s you’d never resolve to give up or do and the resolutions you’ve made and broken. I’m going to stick to the items I resolve never to do again. Never, Ever, Ever Again. 

So here goes… I resolve to NEVER, EVER, EVER DO AGAIN;
  • attempt to home bleach my hair – this one is for you Becca!
  • stop singing in the car just because someone is watching
  • say nothing when something needs to be said
  • watch a Jaws move; I love the ocean too much
  • read an entire 800 page novel, overnight and without my reading glasses – Next time I will definitely wear my glasses
  • wear pink while I have red hair
  • use my trainers so little they only need to be replaced every decade (or are they sneakers… who knows anymore)
  • ask My Hubby for a recount of a 2 hour 45 minute movie – seriously, it would’ve been shorter to watch it but I did enjoy the chat
  • let our finances get in such a mess it takes a team of accountant type minds to fix it
  • give in to a 3 year old – it’s not worth the trouble later on, no matter how frazzled I am now
  • forget to tell the people I love that they are loved – Ahhh what the hell, tell everyone!
  • plan to have a garden bed that needs weeding, watering or ongoing maintenance (that’s all of them right!?)
  • let another year go by without taking charge of my health, my weight and my general craziness
  • play Super Mario Brothers with a sore loser

Now it’s up to you to keep me in line, on track and motivated. This is a very serious list, filled with life altering commitments. Can you do that? Can you keep me on track? What… Ahhh, ok. I’ll do it myself. :oP

Oh and did you notice how super, awesome I am doing at posting everyday for the NaBloMoPo? 10 days down, 21 to go. Can someone tell me if it is cheating to write your posts the night before and have them scheduled to autoload the following morning? I can’t image it is, but would hate to be breaking the rules, this being my first attempt and all.  


Don’t forget to go and vote for this article between Jan 14th & 18th at 8pm, the voting panel is on the right hand side. Suger Coat It has gone close to winning before, it even received a highly recommended but has never managed to pull it off. If you like it, please take a moment to vote. Pllleeeeeeeease.

  1. Wow. I've recently joined Blog This and was planning to take up this challenge as my first, but you've set the benchmark so high! I'll be voting for you, for sure, but do you think next time you could lower the standard a little for newbies like me to have a chance? :P

  2. Haha. I blush. I read your entry and wanted to leave a comment but couldn't find where I could. It's good. It's fun, the Blog This challenges. Keeps me motivated with new ideas etc.

  3. Didn't enter this one, I am staging a little one blogger protest at the lack of results for the last few challenges, lol. Also didn't have the motivation, if truth be known. Great list!Especially the second last one.

  4. I just went snorkelling and had the Jaws theme music blasting in my head the whole time…

  5. Aww Madmother! Don't give up ;)Enjoyed this post, Melissa, particularly LOL'd at "never give in to a 3yo no matter how frazzled I am now." No! It's so not worth it later on is it!?

  6. Thanks for the feedback guys! Madmother… a protest huh. I did wonder what happened to those results, I was polling quiet well in one of the missing challenges! Maybe I should join you! :o)

  7. Dude. I always promise not to do the bleaching thing but I think it's a power we can't overcome. I know it sucks, and it's more expensive and annoying to have to go to the hairdressers to fix it…but the impulse takes over. I'm so pleased to meet someone else who has had this experience!
