Resolution, Schmesalution….well you get the picture. Seriously, I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions because I’ll admit that I never keep them. Ever. It’s too much responsibility and pressure and really, why would I vow to do something in January that I wasn’t willing to do in July? This year, however, I feel compelled to do something. Maybe because it’s the beginning of a new decade (probably not – I mean, who cares, really?) or maybe because 2009 was a really shitty year, I don’t know, but I’m going against the grain here and vowing to do or not do, certain things from now on. So without further ado (do any of you actually know what “ado” means? I don’t….but we don’t want any further of it)…….

In 2010 and forevermore, dubiousMa will:

** Stop taking the marijuana of the woman who has the bed next to my grandmother in the nursing home. I’m pretty sure she really does need it for medicinal purposes, even if she does wear tie-dyed housecoats and decorates her part of the wall with Grateful Dead needlepoint samplers.

** Start working with neglected children…..starting with my own.

** I will stop spending all day on the couch in my pajamas…..instead, I’ll bring the laptop into the bedroom. I feel so less pathetic that way.

** Stop considering joining a warehouse club….No matter how cheap it is, I do not need a 50-gallon drum of chocolate syrup.  Read more...
