January and the first snow - which will stick longer; new resolutions or the snow

Ok, so I haven't done too well so far this year in the resolution department. 
But I am starting a contest at work.  
We borrowed the name of "Biggest Loser".   
I have to be down at least 20 lbs for my final appointment this summer with my brain/eye doctor. 
I can't go to the appointment like a 7th grader who procrastinated doing a term project!
  -just sitting there looking at my doctor trying for excuses as to why I can't seem to do the one thing that has shown to possibly get rid of the pressure in my head. 
It is like looking at a table covered with money that I am free to go pick up, instead I just sit there complaining;
"but it's all green and wrinkled! and can't you bring it to me?" 
How do you spell that sound that babies make?  Wa Wa or something?

But on a better note:
Did I ever rant on how much I hate wasting time on useless, poorly written books! 
My reading time is precious to me. 
Very precious. 
And I just spent an entire Saturday on a bad teen's book called Incarceron.
  I will not be reading the sequel.  
I spent money on these paperbacks.  
Money can be replaced, but MY TIME!  Please. 
I should have taken your comment on this book to heart Amy, but I had already spent the money! 


This is why, I think, that I don't write books.  I would be a crappy writer and people would say "what was the point" and "can't you describe any better than that", and "your characters were flat" and on and on... 
So to not prolong this point to a nauseating length,
I will just say good-bye for today and not ruin any more of any of my reader's time! let's all go back to reading a great book!
