Mary posted the following:
Julia has just written me an email implying my resolution to stop snapping at people is not enough. I think it is, and I’ll explain why:
- I don’t believe in resolutions because I attempt to improve myself on a daily basis. Sometimes I fail miserably, but tomorrow is another day to try.
- This is a “chronic” habit that needs serious attention. Sure I have plenty of other problems, but this one is no longer acceptable to me.
You can bet when I read Julia’s post demanding more resolutions I sent a reply that wasn’t so pleasant, but I believe justified. In this next year, I have to watch my words to distinguish if emails like that are justified or not. In this scenario, I believe it was. But, as per my resolution, I will rethink it.
Yep, Mary, I’d rethink it if I were you.

Don’t actively call for my resolutions when I already posted what mine
is along with the fact that I’m not blogging for another day.
Thanks for being a good blogger

I think I made it pretty clear I don’t like resolutions on any particular
day.
Night night

wow. mary, you’re on the most beautiful, amazing vacation I’ve ever seen, and you still manage to be a cranky bitch. Truly impressive, my dear.
It makes me especially mad, because I just wrote you a really sweet Christmas card.
Happy New Years to you, too.

January 2, and there goes my Zen-like calm. Sigh.
