new year’s resolute-nots

have you noticed? it’s a new year. twenty eleven. wow! i think i have to say that one again – twenty eleven. last year i started a new tradition… new year’s resolutions have never exactly been my strong suit.  quite frankly, they’re hard to write, & bound to be disappointing. & let’s be honest, i don’t think i’m ready for any disappointment quite yet. i’d like to think that twenty eleven is a year of opportunity. so instead of making a list of things i’m going to do, that deep-inside i know i probably won’t, i’m making a list of things that i will not do in 2011, in no particular order.
