Everything Bossy wants to change about herself in the coming year can be found behind this family room door. With the small exception of all those things she needs to change about herself not found behind this family room door.
Bossy’s first resolution is to Organize Her Office Area. She needs to remove everything from the shelves and cabinets because they’re filled with resource materials from the years she had a painting business with her brother. Shelter magazines and paint fan decks are just two of the remnants from Bossy’s former life that collect dust and remind Bossy that paint fumes killed her ability to remember from one paragraph to the next.
Bossy’s second resolution is to Organize Her Office Area.
This is Bossy’s in/out box. Would you believe mostly in with a side order of In? If Bossy is not going to be painting and actualizing the many vacation perks that come with that job, then she needs to admit she is a full time writer and move the necessary accoutrement from this small corner into other smaller corners. Such as this:
Bossy’s next resolution is to Nap Less.
Napping less will leave Bossy with more time for watching television! Which reminds Bossy of her next resolution: Watch Less Television.
And lasty, with all of Bossy’s newfound time not spent inhaling paint fumes and napping and watching television, Bossy resolves to finally put her very own Core Secrets® Exercise Ball Tutorial to use.
Which leads Bossy to today’s Ten-Word Challenge. In exactly ten words, can you tell Bossy your New Year’s Resolutions?
And be sure to check back later today for the most unrealistic New Year expectations on the web!
