Resolutions
This is the first time I’ve used WordPress and I must say Wow, very impressive.
Well, since it’s open mic and you have pressured us, I’ll add my new year’s resolutions. Mind you, I have yet to keep a resolution past the month of January, but with so many changes this past year, I am willing to try again to continue the personal growth cycle.
- Take one day per week for me time.
- Walk the dog at least once a day (I have a yard and it’s so easy to just stand at the door).
- Exercise at least once per week.
- Clean the house once a week (I work long hours and it’s so easy to skip a week vacuuming since it’s just me).
I started my resolutions early and all have worked except walking the dog. Happy New Year to all!

Walk the dog at least once a day (I have a yard and it’s so easy to just stand at the door).
If you don’t, he might walk you!!! :) Happy New Year!

Hi Stacie, you don’t know me, but Aaron does, and he’ll probably know how I feel about this (if he remembers the falling out Jeremy Wright and I had about the issue), but the walking the dog once a day thing shouldn’t be a resolution for you, it should just be something you do… like changing your underwear or brushing your teeth… And IMNSHO it should be more like twice a day… I know we’re busy people but if you take the responsibility of owning a dog, then you need to care for it properly… it’d be like Aaron only feeding Devin once a day or changing him once etc…
Sorry, feel strongly about this, and if you can afford to get a day’s “me time” a week, then you can afford 20 minutes twice a day to walk your dog..!

But that’s the thing – I don’t even have me time. This past year, I was either traveling (dog stay with my parents most of the time) or I was working 10-16 hours days. Diesel got walks, just not every day. On longer days, my dad would come over or he would be at my then-boyfriend’s house who lived near water so Diesel would go swimming. He’s also 9 years old and has a big yard to roam around in. Not a great excuse, but he was played with everyday. About 1.5 years ago I bought my house and the hiking with Diesel stopped. Then only this past summer, the walks decreased.
Maybe I should refine my resolution to Diesel will be walked by ME.

I started my resolutions early and all have worked except walking the dog. Happy New Year to all! … ? What type of dog is he? Obviously different breeds have different requirements, but if he’s any bigger than a Collie (and with a name like Diesel, I’m guessing he is) then he should be walked every day… (BTW, I’m not trying to pick a fight here).
Besides, maybe this could be an easy way for you to get the me time, by combining the two… a 30 minute walk in the fresh air would probably do you as much good as it does him! :)

Not taking it as a fight. Believe me, I feel bad. He’s a Labrador. Me time does include spending time with Diesel. As a make up for the long hours, I take him away for the weekend to the beach or lake. Me time at it’s best!
