Bossy has been busy thinking about resolutions this week. Which isn’t to be confused with busy making resolutions this week.
Last year Bossy was all, Everything Bossy Wants To Change About Herself Is Behind The Family Room Door, what with the organizing and the organizing with some organizing and one core ball thrown in for good measure.
But this year, Bossy’s resolutions are all between the ears. Specifically,
her ears.
Bossy has been very unfocused these past months, where past months equal what is twelve months times the years Bossy has been alive? Bossy has let many projects fall to the back burner, the burner that is spattered with last night’s pasta sauce and never really worked anyway.
For starters, Bossy’s resolutions for 2010 involve learning how to type the year 2010 because sister mercy, wasn’t it just 2009?
For Bossy’s next resolution, she will learn what to call this decade. Is it the tens? The teens? The tensiteens?
Bossy can sum up her 2010 New Year’s Resolutions this way: It’s difficult to build one’s empire while napping. Rise up.
Which is what today’s Ten-Word Challenge is all about. In exactly ten words, can you share with Bossy and her council your New Year’s resolutions, or why you don’t make any?
And be sure to check back later today for the resolutionist of comments on the web.

Holy cow, Georgia. I don’t have to share ANY of my resolutions here because YOU WROTE THEM ALL FOR ME. How is it possible that we have the exact same goals for the new year???
I think a Polynesian Road Trip is a great idea. Since I can’t come visit Bossyville, I think you should come to Hawai`i! Please know that you and your clan have an open invitation. That may sound weird, but it’s totally sincere. We are empty-nesters now and have a ton of room in our little grass shack. This place is magical, and my husband and I love to share it, and to show people the cool stuff they’d never see otherwise. I can virtually guarantee that you would have the Best Vacation Ever, filled with hiking, snorkeling, waterfalls, exotic flowers, music, and Large Powerful Alcoholic Beverages with Fresh Tropical Fruit. Y’all come!
improve posture, yoga once a month, spend time in Trenton.
Quit smoking, again! Find peace w my relationship or leave.
I will achieve a satisfying level of utterly superficial fame.
my resolution is to stop making all these useless resolutions
Figure out what to do when I grow up-finally.

Get back in shape, back to a smaller round shape.
Get that job and move up north one last time.
This year I’m using reverse psychology: absolutely, positively no housework.
Hate everything, grumble more and shave legs.
Stop playing the Facebook Games and start drinking more wine.
Be there for my mom while she dies too young.
Dear Ruth at #4 : for some reason, I read “hickey” instead of kidney. I wish you were getting a hickey. Hell, I wish *I* were getting a hickey instead of f-ing vet bills for the cats and my mom in the damn hospital.
How about 2010 includes God recognizing my plea for a few more dollars and a few less medical expenses, and we all get MASSIVE hickeys?
Dear Jessie #57 – I LIVE in Trenton – please for God’s sakes tell me you are referring to New Jersey and NOT the hellhole in Michigan?
Keep to a schedule that includes yoga, rewriting and job.
I hate ’em, I brake ’em so — don’t make ’em.
