May New Year's Resolution Experiment

Another month and another change can be checked off the list. My task for April was to take better care of my cuticles. Overall, I am happy with the progress I've made and for the most part, I did a good job of not picking them. I just don't think I'll ever have those kind of fingers that people would want to see modeling something...but then again, I guess these hands go along just fine with the rest of me. :)

I always thought my nails couldn't grow and if by chance they did, they'd break within the next day or two. But, I am came to find out that when I paid attention to my cuticles and put cream on them each night, miraculously, my nails would grow too and be somewhat strong. Who knew? My fingertips aren't perfect and I suspect it would take regular manicures and lots of effort to get them to improve much more than I am willing to do. I am happy I tried this change and will do my best to keep up the nightly cuticle cream application.




Now to announce my change for May. For the month of May I am going to do my best to bite my tongue - figuratively speaking of course. Jeff feels that I pick on him too much and my resolution experiment is to not find any fault or sarcastic remark to throw his way. This also includes the helpful suggestions I make when he is driving...sometimes it needs to be pointed out that the lane next to him is moving faster. Furthermore, if Jeff does something extremely dorky, I will not laugh at him either. I have a big mouth. This is going to be tough. But I am pretty sure I can do this. I'll check back with Jeff at the end of the month and see if I was able to accomplish my goal for May's change.
