Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

In 2015, I don't really fancy...

30-Day Blogging Challenge – Day One
Prompt: "Everyone talks about the changes they want to make when New Years Day comes. I don't want to know about your resolutions...I want to know what you don't plan on doing in 2015. Don't be obvious...be creative!"

I have just a few minutes peace to get this post started. I’ve been sat on my sofa all day with my husband and best friend, with her bloke in the armchair, all day. We’ve been watching Revenge  and eating buffet food and sweets. Not a bad start to the New Year, I guess. But I’ve had no time to write. The boys have now toddled off for a nap (not together, I might add) and my friend has popped to the shop. I have no chance of finishing this post, but at least I can start.

So, it looks like I’m doing the 30-Day Blogging Challenge this month. I was only tempted to do it until I gave into peer pressure and found myself committed. When I say peer pressure, I mean seeing Elle - on hiatus saying, “I hope Fran is joining to!” – that is hard core peer pressure, right there, huh?!

It looks like I might be starting as I mean to go on with today’s prompt. As I said the other day, my head is spinning because I am trying to work out what I DO want to do in 2015. But, now, I have to work out what I DON’T want to do. I think someone is trying to screw with my head here! Decision-making is hard enough as it is for me. Gee wiz!

Okay, number one is vowing never to say “gee wiz” in a blog post again!

Let me think… what do I not want to do this year?

I don’t want to…

• Get stuck in a twelve-hour traffic jam.
• Get stuck in a twelve-hour traffic jam with One Direction, Elvis and Paul McCartney songs stuck on repeat.
• Have my bookcase fall on me. It is solid metal and wood; reckon it would hurt quite a bit.
• Watch Eastenders  – I say this because I’ve been forced to watch it this holiday by various people and I’ve ended up knowing what’s going on. I refused to get hooked on it again.
• Work in a pub. As if I could anyway.
• Shrink to the size of a peanut and get trapped in a jar of gherkins. Gherkins make me ill.
• Eat McDonalds every day.
• Get frostbite
• Break any more bones
• Not read any books
• Piss anyone off
• Piss myself off – It’s very easy to do
• Get arrested for indecent exposure! Again, I’m not sure this is likely
• Burn down my house – I quite like it.
• Get caught up in things I don’t want to be involved in.

I’m sure I could go on all day with this. But I think I’ll say happy new year and go off to think more positively about 2015.

Happy New Year!
