My 2009 New Year's Resolutions

1. Be more tolerant and patient with the actions and habits of those around me.

2. Cut down my normal swearing by at least 90%. I work in a brokerage firm, the economy is collapsing and the girl I work with is a loud babbling idiot, but that really is no excuse for my regular use of foul language.

3. Keep my hands out of the chocolate candy jar at work and stop buying chocolate anything altogether. I have to remember that it is bad for my health and my teeth. Of course I am still allow to have a piece or two when offered the fancy super duper expensive chocolates and chocolate covered strawberries.

4. I will increase the amount of money that I deposit into my savings account when I get paid and will deposit all of my tax return for 2008 in my savings account too.

5. I will refrain from looking at the performance of my 401k until December. No need to upset myself just because it's down 50%.

6. I will stop eating the omelets and hash browns that wholesalers bring in at work for breakfast and will refrain from eating Stan's donuts altogether. I wonder if it'll be possible for me to eat oatmeal every morning for all of 2009?

7. I will lose 15lbs by June. I don't know how I'm going to do that but I will and it won't be from starving myself. I should probably go to the gym more than twice a week like I do now.

8. I will focus on studying for my GMATs and be prepared to sign up for prep classes by July. First of all, I need to work on my study schedule.

9. Must start to plan Japan/Hong Kong trip at the beginning of February. Can't wait. It's been too long since I've been there.

10. I will pay off my American Express card by March.

11. Stop texting while I'm driving. It's illegal now. I know I shouldn't have been doing it anyways, but sometimes I get bored when I'm sitting in traffic.

12. Don't wait until the day before to send out birthday cards like I did in 2008. I've just had other more important things on my mind.

13. Plan more weekend getaways with my friends. Don't let any them decide which hotel or cabin/house to book reservations. I know I am being freakishly controlling about this, but my friends are young and flaky. I can't trust them to make these type of decisions. I miss my 30 and up friends. I swear I can't trust anyone under the age of 30 (except myself) to commit to anything.

14. Stop complaining about how "the other girl" is getting my last nerves at work because complaining is not going to change how irritating she is. Just ignore her.

15. Start emailing my friends that I don't see very often more often. Maybe they'll stop emailing me "long time no talk" emails. Sometimes I just get so preoccupied with what's going on around me that I forget them. I'm a horrible friend. I know that.

I think that's it for now. I'm sure I'll come up with a longer list later.

Happy New Year!

Good luck with all of them but please implement #11. It just seems like you're multitasking, no problem, but it is just so dangerous. Even a fender bender is a hassle, but more than that can be a disaster.

no need for #2.
i like a girl with a potty mouth who can talk dirty. lol!

i'm planning to save up for a trip to hong kong this year as well. and i need to apply for a credit card so i can use it for shopping purposes. my plan is to pay for the airline ticket by cash and leave the shopping for the credit card to deal with. besides, i'm not too big on shopping anyway. the most i'd shop for is clothes, electronics and bluray discs. now all i gotta do is keep my battle plan this year.

Super straight forward and blunt. I'm the friend that tells you that you look like sh*t at the end of a long day at work (and then I help you fix your hair). I can be pretty intimidating, but everyone around me knows that I'm one of the nicest people they'll ever meet. I can talk to anyone, anywhere, on just about anything that comes to my mind at the moment. I'm a Cancer so I can get along with practically anyone. At this moment in life, I can say that the smartest decision I ever made was to study abroad in Hong Kong, where all I did was shop, eat, party, and travel for a year (but don't tell my parents that). I'm super addicted to girly books (I love Sophie Kinsella) and was recently tricked into reading my first romance novel(it's like porn on books). I truly believe that I am destined to be a photographer, food critic, or an event planner, but somehow landed in banking and finance. I'm an impulsive shopper (last year I bought a PSP and now it's just sitting on my book shelf). I have a passion for food and I love trying new restaurants. I once told a friend "if we weren't working together we would never be friends because you can't eat garlic." My friends appreciate food. For some odd reason (I still haven't figured out what) I have the shortest attention span when it comes to the guys I date. I can be staring at my cell phone when it rings, but I'll never pick it up. I'm addicted to buying Chinese DVDs. I'm allergic to lychee, but I eat it anyways. I can't stand pretentious people, I rather respect you for your b*tchy a**hole selves. I learned how to read and speak Mandarin by watching tv. I once told a Congressmen to get off my seat at a conference in capitol hill. I'm not on facebook.

That's all. I think.

Update 8/17/2007...just kidding...I'm on facebook now.
