I don't normally make resolutions. But there's no harm in trying. So, in 2010:
I will...
- Visit Violet. It's been over a year since we've seen each other, that's a year too many!
- Follow 'The Four Man Plan' (sub resolution- read 'The Four Man Plan'. It's on my nightstand). Here's to finding Mr. Right Now(s)!
- Embark on some form of exercise, form TBC.
- Get up 20 minutes earlier to improve on my current beauty routine of mascara and lipgloss.
- Cook (sub resolution- learn how to).
I will not...
- Read too much into the situation with Welsh Willy (or other). Instead will enjoy fun evenings for what they are, rather than hope something more will come of it.
- Keep telling myself that I'm rubbish at my job and quake inwardly whenever my boss asks me to do something.
- Leave my make-up on when I go to bed as results in IES (icky eye syndrome).
- Eat toast for dinner (more than twice a week).
- Drunk dial or drunk text. Anyone. Drunk dialing/texting reeks of desperation. Will be cool aloof ice queen instead.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The curse of the drunk dial
A couple of weeks ago I drank far too much wine. Well maybe it wasn't too much wine but it was too much to drink when all I had eaten that day was a bagel. Smart, Fenella, real smart. So there I am, in a pub having a fully animated conversation with my friend when I got the stupid idea to ring my ex-boyfriend. Don't worry, not ex-boyfriend Fergus but my other ex-boyfriend. We broke up over two years ago, it was amicable and I haven't really thought about him, I certainly don't miss him. So why the decision to call him? Let's blame the wine.
As if drunk dialling my ex wasn't bad enough, it wasn't just a five minute catch up conversation it was at least 20 minutes. The actual amount of time is a little hazy because of, well you know, the wine. And as if a 20 minute conversation wasn't bad enough, the topics of conversation were even worse because of, well you know, the wine. The next morning I text him just to apologise for ringing him when he kindly informed me of what we actually talked about. I thought it was about interviews and jobs. But no. I told him things I should not have told him, mainly things about Fergus. I may have also said that he's good looking. (He is good looking, but I didn't need to tell him that). And there were other things, but I would like to retain some of my dignity let's not go there.
Yes it was a stupid thing to do and yes it was embarassing. But the worst of it is that now my ex keeps contacting me. I've told him to please stop contacting me so much, and that I honestly have no feelings towards him whatsoever. But he's still texting. I hate cell phones sometimes.
The moral of this story? Don't drink when all you've had to eat is a bagel. And if you do, leave your cell phone at home.
