Happy and merry new year guys:-) Today i woke up with the sun shining in my face. I woke up with the first hangover and soar throat of 2002 ( i sang until 5am; well, i attempted to sing!). I woke up, also, with a new currency to think about. Bye-bye to the punt! I'm not so sure how i feel about all of that.
I've been thinking about new years resolutions. Every year i try to quit *biting my fingernails!!*, it's a disgusting, vile, dirty habit and i cannot stop! I really find it sickening to see someone biting their fingernails, yet i do it every day! Does anything work?? Has anyone on the list quit successfully? I know that we've discussed quitting smoking on the list, and a lot of good advice was thrown around then. Please- someone help me!!! What can i do? I've tried wearing gloves, I've tried carrying lollipops and putting them into my mouth every time i catch my self biting my nails, I've tried to distract myself when i catch myself biting my nails- but all to no avail! And that horrible tasting stuff that people put on their nails to prevent nail biting, sorry, it just isn't *that* disgusting! I find myself biting my nails when thinking, when puzzled or confused, when studying, when watching tv, when studying, when bored, when interested, when on the phone. In short, i am ALWAYS biting my nails and it is really bugging me:-) I have decided this year to dispense with my usual attempts at making resolutions. Usually, they are of the "try to be nicer/more generous/better/more sincere etc etc etc" sort. Since i am "practically perfect in every way" this is pointless (j/k, i watched Mary Poppins two days ago for the first time in years, and i just love the part of the movie when she takes out her measuring tape to size up Michael and Jane, lol). I have decided to spend the next two weeks trying to work out some aims for the year, and to make a to-do list of sorts. My ambitions and hopes for the year will be on there; then, at the end of the year, i can see just how close i come to realising this list of mine. With wishes of Love and Luck for *all* the members of JMDL in 2002, GARRET
