My one resolution...

I know that bloggers across the nation will be posting their resolutions publicly.

I refused, initially, to be one of those people, since my resolutions never last that long to begin with.

Last year I flirted with the idea of creating a blog called "52 Weeks, 52 Resolutions," where I would make a new resolution for every week of the year. It was too much pressure to come up with four, let alone 52.

But this year, there's one nasty habit I really want to break, and I'm going to mention it now:

This year, I resolve to stop abusing my fingernails.

I have very weak nails to begin with. They break, chip, shred, or peel once they get past my fingertips. I tend to pick them out of boredom or anxiety, which makes them much weaker.

This year, I want to put an end to that.

I don't want to grow them long enough to use colored nail polish; I gave up on that long ago. However, I would love to have a French manicure without having to use fake nails. (I've done this several times to prep for weddings).

I feel comfortable mentioning this, since in the last month, my blog has earned a steady following. (Thanks Jen, Yaya, Chessa, Dora, and NurseExec!) And I've gotten many more hits, too.

On the first of the month I'll post a photo of my hands and my nails, and will update you on the progress throughout the year.

Wish me luck!
