I just saw one that said “Drink more light blue Gatorade.” 😛 People who do that look like they’re drinking Windex.

FTR, I never do them. I don’t follow them, and if I want to change something, I start (or try, anyway) right away and don’t need a starting time.

And conversely, when I wash the windows, it looks like I’m using Gatorade.

Now that you’ve put that thought into my head, I feel compelled to try it and see how it works. I envision that it would be sticky.

(What does blue Gatorade taste like anyway? It looks so unnatural, I’m afraid to even try it. The only Gatorades I drink are the lemon-lime green, and orange.)

After making the occasional New Year’s Resolutions from time to time over the years and utterly failing to maintain every last one, I finally resolved, several years ago, to not make any New Year’s Resolutions. Aha! Finally, a resolution I could and did keep, even unto this very day!

I could give a whole lengthy list of New Year’s Resolutions that I didn’t make this year.
