Potato Navy

I know, it's kind of a non sequiter, isn't it? Not to mention kind of obscure. Yet, someone somewhere thinks than an email entitled "potato navy" is a good way to sell me prescription drugs. My personal opinion is that they've been taking a few too many of said drugs... ;) *

Well, it's the dawn of another year. I suppose I ought to make resolutions. Problem is I just don't feel like it. Not that I don't stand in need of improvement because, man, there are a ton of things about me that could used to be fixed: weight, fitness, gratitude, organization, quality of mothering, the list goes on and on. No, I think I don't feel like it because I know that I won't manage to keep any resolutions unless they are so lightweight as to be ridiculous and then I will feel guilty that I did not. And, you know, I have no need of extra guilt in my life.

I suppose I should set goals, at least, if I don't make resolutions. Again, by setting goals, one runs the risk of not meeting them, which is depressing.

I think the real reason I find myself so reluctant, though, is that making resolutions or setting goals is a bit too overwhelming when one is just trying to make it from one end of the day to the other without losing it in any number of fashions. I am having real trouble looking out further than a week. With that in mind, here are my goals for this week:

• refill (and remember to pick up!) the prescriptions
• investigate the Board of Ed's preschool program in person at the Board of Ed offices
• play with Katie a little each day
• restart potty training
• make a playdate with Katie's friends Bekah & Rachael
• get my suitcase unpacked
• pick up Katie's room
• put the Christmas decorations away
• call the Chamber of Commerce office to verify that my Business After Hours is set for 1/31 and also verify when the mailer will go out
• prepare a mailing list and label and stamp the postcards for the Business After Hours for mailing early next week
• work my allotted hours without wanting to throttle a coworker or high muckety muck
  

I'm sure there's more but that will get me started, no doubt.

Happy '08 everyone.


*Yes, I do know they use random word generators to get by SPAM filters. This combo just struck me as particularly funny. Something about the mental image of Mr. Potato Head with sail for a hat...
