I don’t know about you, but I’m not a huge fan of New Year’s Resolutions. Mostly because they involve annoying things like loosing weight and giving up the fags. Not that I’m a smoker, but I’d imagine if I was, the idea of having to quit on Jan 1 would really irritate me.
However this morning I’ve been having a bit of a think of all the things I’d like to improve on during 2015 and thought I’d share a couple of them with you.
Kirsten and co’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2015
1. Organise the third drawer down. You know the one. It’s a hot mess of anything else that doesn’t belong in the first two drawers in your kitchen.
If you rocked up to my place right now, you’d find Drawer One beautifully organised with cutlery.
Drawer Two is a tidy display of glad wrap, baking paper and al foil and then there’s Drawer Three.
Think wooden spoons, tongs, whisks, measuring cups, large knives and whatever else I can jam in that drawer all having a party together that drives me nuts whenever I need to find anything other than a spoon or the glad wrap!
2. Do something about my tuck shop arms. Seriously, what is it with turning 40 and your arms deciding to resemble cottage cheese? Back in the day, I used to have pretty good arms. I mean they were never exactly toned to a standard that Michelle Bridges would find acceptable, but they were ok to look at. Fast forward a few years and they’re pretty much just hanging off my shoulders, flapping around like two old wind socks. Pretty it aint!
3. Get Scott to stop snoring. Honestly, his snoring is more annoying than a newborn baby’s cry at 2 in the morning. Mostly because you can actually stop a new born baby’s cry!
I don’t know what it’s like at your place, but I haven’t had a solid night’s sleep since 1997. Meanwhile, old mate beside me is sleeping like he’s in some sort of sleeping pod where the sound of his own snoring is strongly soothing!
4. Eat more kale. Just kidding. Let’s replace the word ‘kale’ with ‘chocolate’ and pretend that sentence never happened.
5. Get my hands on a thermomix. Ok, so it’s more of wish than a resolution, but imagine how much fun we could all have if I had one! I could invite you over for an 8 minute risotto, which would leave more time for things like whipping up frozen cocktails in 3.5 seconds and shopping online!
So there you have it. My New Year’s Resolutions for 2015. Which, now that I look at it, seems to involve a bit of organising, some exercising and a fair bit of cooking. Fark. That sounds like my most boring year yet!
Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? What’s on your list? Please tell me it’s more exciting than mine!
