choose ye: new year’s edition.

Filed under: either or — meg @ 7:01 am

(Remember the rules… you gotta choose, even if you like or loathe both! That’s the point of Choose Ye. If it was, “Hey, Whatever”, you’d be at someone else’s blog! Huzzah!)

Resolutions or no?

Happy to be back to work or OH NO?

New sheets or new shoes?

Organized or disorganized (generally?)

Details or big picture?

Ice cream or salad?

Traveling this year, or staying close to home?

Big life plans or more of the same?

New love or old?

Wishing for a makeover or totally content?

More red meat or less?

Fitness or sofa?

Old hobbies, or digging into new ones? (Yes, initially it said “fresh” and not old. I’m dumb)

More carbs or less?

Go out more, or go out less?

More relationships or more independence?

    No resolutions.

    Happy to be back at work (and would be happier if I was gainfully and fully employed).

    Plans - big enough. Some changes this year.
