NY resolutions already failed

My plan was to be super productive on NYE and lay down the foundation for starting out on the right foot on New Year's Day... nothing particularly harrowing but still just a bunch of stuff that needed to be out of the way so that I could really get a head start on January 1st.

So I wake up on Friday at like 10am, and proceeded to stay in bed until 7pm watching 30 Rock...after like the 3rd episode, I remember saying to myself, "okay. you can lounge around today, only if you promise to really put your nose to the ol' grindstone tomorrow." * I'm really good at justifying all poor decisions I make. That's one of my many talents ;)

*, ***So I went to a friend's place to celebrate on Friday, and surprisingly enough, I actually behaved that evening and was able to wake up at 8:30am, arrived back at my house by 10am, puttered around the house and accomplished a handful of things like emptying the dishwasher, and rewarded myself with a little catnap around 11am.

That catnap turned into a 3 hour siesta, and when I woke up, I felt so tired and groggy that I decided to watch some more tv. *, ** I'm telling you the feeling of exhaustion flowing throughout my weakened body not only was a physical deterrent, but it crippled my psyche and had me convinced that I needed to buoy my spirits by watching 13 episodes of the 1980's cartoon, "Jem and the Holograms," based off of the Hasbro doll line...

**That was an excellent (poor) decision, because it was extremely fulfilling and productive to watch cartoons obviously (not). I truly blasted off into the Land of Gluttony where I lost consciousness because of a (probably) self-induced state of hypochondria and gorging... no bueno :/ **, *** (x4) Around 11pm, my body was so sore and tired from laying in bed for the past 48 hours, I felt like the only thing that would make me feel better would be to go to sleep.


So I set out to do that at 11pm, and by 2am I was ready. Somewhere along the way I fell into the trap of watching the British series, "Skins," which I find to be a much wittier and slightly more alternative and realistic version of "Gossip Girl."

I guess the point of telling you all of that is because my behavior the past 2 days directly contradicts my resolutions and pretty much dashed my hopes to hell of achieving them... Happy New Year.

Pizza total: 4 slices
Reese's total: 6, (2 were in liquid form)
