reduce, reuse, recycle RESOLUTIONS...

Well, as the year comes to an end, it is fun to think back and plan for the future. I, like most others, like to evaluate my year and think of things I could do to make the new year better. Each year my list is pretty much the same
(and doesn't make it through April) -
SO, this year, I decided to share with all of you...

my New Years Resolutions - from 21 years ago

(taken from the diary of Dede, dated 1/1/88)
and I quote {clear throat}
1. get a boyfriend
2. be a good friend
3. weigh 105 pounds
4. get good grades
5. be 16!
6. make 10 more friends, at least 4 male
7. think of others
8. be nice to Annie
9. write people, etc...

Well, I think I was able to accomplish a few of those and if nothing else,
I am for sure making my kids write in their journals tomorrow!
Happy New Year!

I LOVE #8!!! That one is hilarious. Ah the things that are important when we are young. I'm pretty darn sure I had the same list at that age, well except be nice to Annie, as I didn't know her yet. ;)

That is hilarious!!!! Even back then we had weight issues. How sad. Aren't you glad you had boys? I sure am.

You are so smart! Too bad more of your wonderfulness didn't rub off on me when I was 16 (esp. in the good grades/boyfriend category- I was already nice to all of you...heehee!) I love the list!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

What a brave woman you are ... I consult my old diary all the time, but that doesn't mean I'm strong enough to share with the world my adolescent wisdom -- uh, fantasies!
