2007 is just around the corner, and talk around town turns to resolutions that are made and if there is any significant reason for making them.  So in that vein I was wondering if any of Susan's members plan on making any resolutions for this New Year.

Steph

Absolutely.

The biggest (and probably the most relevant) is to save about US$1200 per month towards FFS in mid-2008 either in Thailand or the US, maybe Holland. I don't want to go too heavily into debt for this. I've set up automatic transfers into a savings account already... am prepared to make a few temporary sacrifices in order to make this happen.

The other new year resolutions are to do with work, training, and some flat improvements. Also want to lose about 5-7kg (almost a stone).

In 1977 I made a New Years' Resolution that I have kept to this day--

"Never make another New Years' Resolution"

Having said that, I do resolve to do things from time to time.  And I find that I can make resolutions any time (and keeping them is almost as hard...  )

Do resolve to better yourself.  And do use the New Year as an excuse to get started.  But please don't save up all the things you wish to resolve until one specific day.  It helps to spread them out a little.  Changing oneself is a lot like orthodontia -- you need to apply gentle, steady, constant pressure in the desired direction.

As for a resolution I make for myself at this particular time of the year (irrespective of the impending change of year,) I need to get my spending under control.   One area: Wardrobe changeover is costly, so I need to start making HUGE use of thrift stores and such.

My New years resolution is to live a healthier life:

Included in that is leaving El Paso and getting away from my unhealthy liveing situation. and my alchaholic friends.  Im trying to quit.  and my drugadict band... we all beat the drugs years ago.... why they are all going back I dont know but I cant be around that kind of thing..

Also included is finding a new job, one that dosnt stress me out to the point of being totaly brainfried...

Working out on a regular basis.... if I reduce the stress I'll have to keep my wonderful figure the hard way LoL.
and the list goes on and on

AHHHHHH To quit drinking (saying this with screw driver in hand), to care about and see to my physical health once again. <sigh>

I have no resolutions. But I do plan to work less and do more of the things that interest me. I have music on my mind right now, so I want to spend a lot of time there learning how to play an instrument that I never really learned to play many years ago.  I'm setting up a room for the instruments and for recording for personal use.  I'd be thrilled to get a student or two.

I want to get out and enjoy my "outside" more.  I've got lots to enjoy living close to one of the big national parks.  I do miss hikiing terribly.

I'm looking forward to a pleasant and low key year!

LOL ...hey SpaceKat, if you haven't noticed, I haven't posted anything under that thread for a long time, and I don't think I will....just to be at peace with everyone here.  But perhaps you can help me convert all those sinners to catholicism....

Lose 300 pounds?  if you lose that much weight, your spirit will remain floating on the air by itself, sweetie! what are you talking about?

DD implants --- now, this sounds exciting........I'm just getting a C cup this time, but who knows, perhaps I will get a G cup in the future....I can't let any other woman be more TS than I.....LOL

Don't Tink, G is far to big, you will never Fly again if you do....... far to top heavy...

Buffy

Yeah, saline weighs!  "A pint's a pound, the world's around",  and a pair of G's are good for how much?

Keep those New Years' Resolutions coming!

LOL You are so funny.

Well, my new years resolution last year was to start HRT.  I did that starting in the second month.  For this year, my resolution is to save up the deposit amount (or more) for SRS and get a surgery date set.  I think I can do this fairly easily.

Okay - here's a couple

For our summer vacation we would like to hit the Oprah, The View and Dr. Phil if only for the free stuff......

LOL, funny thing, I just got home from the doctor and finally getting my HRT prescriptions... and had the TV on while posting about it... I hear the word "gender" mentioned, so I turn up the sound and see The View is on...

And they're talking about transsexualism, and the new TS character on All My Children, etc. They actually did a pretty good job quickly explaining all this in overview.

These are our resolutions:

To make a lasting peace with each other (for JR and Jillieann to become good friends) and we are working on it.
To lose all the weight we are gaining over the Holidays plus another 8 to 10 lbs.
To not let fear control us as It has in the pass.

We think that enough for now.

Resolution: that by the next New Year I will legally and socially be Kate.

To get rid of depression and enjoy my cycling.

I think it would be more of a challenge for you to NOT do it.   You already know it's going to happen without you even trying.

Gill, if you find out what day Oprah is giving things out free, I will join you. Dr. Phil gave out a lot of free things to the people who worked and lived in the New Orleans area.
Sheila

To get a story published in hard print.

To get myself solvent.

To get my kids into counseling.

To begin the necessary prep work to start transitioning to full time.
