new years recyclutions

christmas tree recycling dropoff 3

I'm never into New Years resolutions because I'm really not into New Years. I don't see the big deal. That said, this year I've warmed to the thought of making the change of year more important, a time to start over. I really couldn't wait to see the rear end of 2010, could you?

Rather than resolutions though, I want 'recyclutions' (yes, I like a good corny pun). I don't see the need for a long list of things to do better this year, because last year I failed to complete a lot of my plans, or reach my goals. So I just need to dredge up the half finished stuff of last year and plonk them on the table for the new year. Hence recycling, resolutions.

Do you have any resolutions or recyclutions for 2011? Tell me in the comments, I'd love to hear.

  4. @punctuation mark - I had that goal too! I sort of achieved it - I had to cancel a party at my house to do so.

    @and flowers thank you. I'm glad you agree

    @Julia ha this is perfect! Last week I was cleaning up the house and found a list of "Things I must do before I turn 15" in an old journal. Was a happy and sad moment. x

  5. I'm not really into New Years, either. I make lots of resolutions throughout the year and I figure I'm more apt to keep them when I create them on an "as needed" basis, so why make them just to make them?

    I don't care much for any holiday or ceremony, really. I've never seen the point.
