I RESOLVE TO NOT....
...stop thinking it's weird that jeans with holes and tears in them are in style. If I'm forking out money, there better be no holes.
...stop loving Target. It's my favorite.
...give up my Diet Coke. It helps keep me friendly. You can go on with your bad self and give up soda, but I will not.
...stop complaining that I have to jog because my stupid metabolism is dying on me. I hate it, I hate it, and I hate it.
...stop making fun of kale. It tastes weird.
...stop getting tons of books from the library. Reading is the best.
...curse the drivers who refuse to use their turn signals.
...stop trying to build my blog. I mean, duh. I'm working on getting better at what I do. Writing. Photos. All of it.
So here's to an amazing 2017 with my fabulous Olde Book purse! I'm heading off to a NYE party in a few days...I'm kidding. I'm an introvert. I'm staying at home in my jammies and watching movies with my kids. Do you have any big plans?

I'm so doing this. Yes, it's way more fun to make a not to do list than a to-do list. I'm staying home but hosting a party for a friend who has never had a birthday party and having a bonfire.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Definitely don't stop being you!! I never make resolutions either. Why set myself up for failure?!?!
ReplyDeleteFun list. Have a happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI love your nerdy purse!! lol it's so badass!!
ReplyDeleteA lovely list, You are right about resolutions. I am writing a post right now about those and curious to hear what you think. Wishing you a great new year and a wonderful 2017!
ReplyDeleteAll good ones!
ReplyDeleteI will choose a few words as a mantra to keep me motivated and focused. I like to make a bucketlist as well!
ReplyDeleteI love it, resolutions to keep doing what you love and not giving in to peer pressure of what others like it what you like that counts
ReplyDeletei love target too and yes, kale tastes werid :D
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I am also a huge fan of Target, and my husband teases me because I have an aversion to holes in jeans!
ReplyDeleteI too took up running when I got older. I complain about starting but once I get going it is fun.
ReplyDeleteAre we twins? I love cursing other drivers and going to Target. I curse other drivers while heading to Target!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about resolutions! Why wait for a new year to make a change? If you are "going to" change it you will start NOW. You cracked me up with a few of your NOT TO's lol
ReplyDeleteOh how I love Target! It's the best.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a list of things we're not giving up. Absolutely agree that my Diet Coke goes on that list ... and have to think about what else goes on the list.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love this. I don't blame you for not giving up Diet Coke or making resolutions. I'm not giving up coffee either. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with #2. I LOVE target. Period. Never gonna get tired of that place.
ReplyDeleteJust staying home with the kiddos. The husband has duty
ReplyDeleteI'm staying home too. Just me and hubby and the puppy. Resolving to lose weight. I started a FB group to make sure I do it. Here's to a healthier new year!
ReplyDeleteOh my god this is the best. I would've never thought an anti-resolution list would be so funny, I need to try it out myself
ReplyDeleteI love your idea! I will not stop going to Target either. My plans include hanging with the hubby and kids at home watching their movies pick. I am sure I will be sleep before 12 lol
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I will also not stop getting books from the library!

ReplyDeleteThis was very new and exciting, "I Resolve to Not" was a true list of anti-resolution of everyone and I would want to have my own list.
ReplyDeleteLol. I love target just like you! That "book" bag is awesome!

Love your take on resolutions! And btw, can we bury our metabolisms?! Mine seems dead! I hope the new year is wonderful for you and your blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! Instead of thinking of things to change it would be nice to think of the things that you're going to carry over on the year ahead. I had a great time reading your post and I am loving that book purse! ---For Elizabeth O.
ReplyDeleteThis post is too cute! I like to celebrate New Year's Eve and New Year's Day with my family. I'm planning to cook a nice birthday dinner for my husband on New Year's Eve and watch the ball go down in Time's Square. On New Year's day I plan to cook a delicious brunch.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun reflection for all the accomplishments this year. I should make my own list lols. By the way, I love your sling bag!

What a fun list! I loved your book bag. It's unique.
ReplyDeleteAwesome purse! Also, inspiring list. I really need to stop cursing drivers starting ...now :P
ReplyDeleteHaha! I second the jeans and diet coke! Love this list! Thanks for the encouragement!
ReplyDeleteHehee, love this. My metabolism seems to be dying on me too - what is it with growing older and piling on the pounds?! I feel like a hampster in a wheel trying to keep it off!
ReplyDeleteI love fun lists like that! Beautiful purse! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI love my jeans with holes in them. My mom always tells me I look like I am poor when I wear them. I love them.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh I nearly lost my coffee I was laughing so much at these! I remember when I was working in The Gap and their 10 year age wash denim Boyfriend cut jeans came out, they had huge holes all over them, were super bagge and even had fake brown marks on them but I bought a pair and my Parents never let me hear the end of that one! They couldn't stop laughing "that i'd spent money" on jeans with "stains" and holes in them!

I snorted my orange juice while reading this, Oh my its really funny :)
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, I never had a jeans with holes! Am i weird??
This is an awesome idea! I love your list -- however I did wear a pair of jeans with rips and holes in them yesterday ;D Kale tastes really weird... I put it in my smoothies so that I don't taste it ha ha!
ReplyDeleteLOL, this is so much fun! In 2017, I resolve not to stop watching real house wives or eating fried foods entirely!
ReplyDeleteWhat not to do is just as important on what to do. great post. i need to still need to do my "i Resolve not" to do list.
ReplyDeleteI resolve to not stop going to Starbucks haha I want to lose weight but I can treat myself once in a while!
ReplyDeleteLol, too funny! I have so many resolutions, but really the biggest one is to get off the computer. Being a blogger, it's hard to know when to turn it off. It's like the list is never ending so you're always sneaking back on to update socials or try to write a quick post. And I would like to get back into running. Wishing you the best for 2017 and good luck with all your goals.
ReplyDeleteI love the twist of resolving NOT to do something. Great idea. Hope you have a great New Year's Eve.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at Diet Coke. I love the stuff so much even though I know how bad it is for me. I'm going to see if I can leave it alone for 30 days...I said we will see :D
ReplyDeleteLove this post!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun post Amber! I'm a homebody and love spending time at home too. But this year, we're throwing a New Year Eve party. Private event.. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post! So many people are talking about what they are going to change about themselves.
ReplyDeletelove these posts.Really look forward to them.
ReplyDeletei resolve to not stay in my comfort zone.
Ooh, that's a good one!
DeleteI hate drivers who are not using turn signals:/ I was at home with my family as well :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I love your sense of humor! I wrote a post on how I'm not doing resolutions either haha good for you!
