New Year's Resolutions (2013-2014)

Ahh! It's that time of the year again - it's the End of 2013! Time for some New Year Resolutions and the same old talk about making SMART goals.

For your reference, here's some anti-SMART I found reading the all-time classic single-female-novel Bridget Jone's Diary.


I WILL NOT
   
Drink more than fourteen alcohol units a week.
   
Smoke.
   
Waste money on: pasta-makers, ice-cream machines or other culinary devices which will never use; books by unreadable literary authors to put impressively on shelves; exotic underwear, since pointless as have no boyfriend.

...

I WILL
   
Stop smoking.
   
Drink no more than fourteen alcohol units a week.
   
Reduce circumference of thighs by 3 inches (i.e. 1½ inches each), using anti-cellulite diet.
   
Purge flat of all extraneous matter
   
...


Happy Year's End!
