Well, Christmas is over. It was everything I thought it would be and a little bit more. I got to see family and friends for three days straight. Generally I would call that a bad weekend but it is Christmas and that is what it is all about.
Now onto new years and a chance to lie to yourself on the first day of the year. The lie usually sounds like this, I am going to get in shape or lose 30 pounds. Whatever!!!! Daily dieting and exercise has to become a mind set for your day to day existence, before it will truly work. If you are not 100% sold on the work part of losing weight, then you can forget shedding those pounds.
My New Years resolution is as follows, I Eric Rutledge, commit myself to eating at micasita at least one time a month. If I for some reason miss a month, I will eat micastia 1 time a week for a month. Now I believe with hard work and due diligence in scheduling, I stand a real chance of pulling this off. Who's with me?????
Seriously though, make a commitment to something you can keep. Like, I commit to taking a bath once a week. I will stop picking my nose in public. That one may be hard to do. I will not leave the toilet seat up. I will try eating sushi. I will wash my pants after the third wear instead of the fifth wear (you know you do it). I will not surf the Internet at work (yea, you can scratch that one off). I will not take my trash out in my underwear. I will not pee in my front yard. Well, you get the point.
So do yourself a favor and don't lie to yourself on the first day of the year.

I have been lying to myself for years and I see no need to discourage myself with the truth. It's a tradition that I intend to keep for years to come. I will... lose weight, be a better housekeeper, read my Bible every night without fail, get organized, be more fiscally responsible...I promise. Do you smell smoke? AHHHhhh, my pants!!!!
