First New Years resolution you break?

We all make New Year's resolutions; we all break 'em! What ones will you make, and which do you think will be the first to go? Any you're really determined to keep? First one I'll break? Eatin' healthy! One I'm gonna keep? Get my financial woes straightened out.

I don't remember the last time I made one of those things. So I don't have to worry about breaking them. I'll be sound asleep come midnight tonight.

The one sure to get broken is "I'm not doing this again NEXT year..."

I'm going to quit smoking. For how long this time, I don't know, but when the last cig is gone I'm done. That goes along with another of my resolutions, to work out more.

Get in better shape(I'm not too bad now), get my grades a little higher(also not too bad now). I think these are 2 realistic goals that I can reach.

My sure-fire way of not breaking them is not to make 'em. Works every time! My co-worker told me that he always resolves to quit smoking, which lasts for a month or two, till everyone around him begs him to start again because he becomes a total butthole without them. I am so looking forward to going back to work with him on Monday! -TD

First one I'm going to break is not to oversleep.

A long time ago I made a new year's resolution to no longer make resolutions. Haven't broken it yet.

Resolution is something that you are going to try to do in the year.

Wether it be a good thing or a bad thing, you do not know if you have actually broke it until Dec. 31st. of that year. You have 365 days from New Years Eve to try and resolve that paticular situation that you made a resolution of.

Now I have 365 days to quit smoking. Perhaps I'll break it the resolution, perhaps I'll be successful. I will not know for sure until Dec. 31st. 2005.
