List of things I won't do in my new lfe

I like to use any big life change as an opportunity to step back, name the parts, and decide which ones are invited to the next phase and which I would like to leave behind. Nothing like packing up all your stuff makes this more comical. Like, maybe in the next apartment the hankerchiefs and spice jars won't live in the same drawer just because they landed there. Or, does one really need 25 AAA batteries but only one Dansko clog? Yeah... So, while I was packing up this morning I decided that a list of things I won't do in my new life would be an excellent diversion from the job at hand.

1. Won't ever have dirty dishes because there is a DISHWASHER!!
2. Will never, ever let the laundry pile up beyond one load.
3. Will say Goodbye to cable.
4. Will say Helo to Hulu.
5. Will never buy meat that makes me feel guilty.
6. Will make sure that anything that takes up considerable energy or time also makes me more of the person that I want to be.
7. Will not keep things that I don't love/need/use.
8. Will finish things that I start, within reason.
9. Will read more.
10. Will write more.

No problem. Right?
