Falling Socks And Sweet Tea

This time last week, I was motivated.  I was ready to get back into a routine, I was de-Christmasing the house, and I was on a cleaning streak that would make Martha Stewart cry.
Today I am on my 3rd cup of coffee, I am trying to decide if the dog can go one more day without a bath, and I am annoyed with all winter sock selections.
I watched the Golden Globe Awards last night, and now I am obsessed with trying to figure out how folks in Hollywood age in reverse.  I know... it's personal trainers and personal nutritionists and designer clothes and loads of Botox, but OHMYWORD... The beautiful people get more beautiful.

And, to top it all off, I haven't won the Powerball.

I am so glad I did not make any New Year's Resolutions this year, because the New Year Resolution Police would have locked me up by now.  I know I need to exercise more, eat better, be nicer, and lose many pounds.  Making a real list of things to do that I should already be doing is not going to motivate me.  If I'm not doing it already, what good is "resolving" to do it?  It works for a lot of people; it just does not work for me.
On January 2, I got a text from my sis-in-law...  She had been discussing New Year's Resolutions and goals with my nephew.  These are my nephew's goals for the new year:
1.  Eat more chocolate
2.  Rest on the couch daily with BBQ chips and sweet tea from Chick Fil-A.

Amen.  And Amen. 
Now those are goals I can get behind.  Those are goals I could achieve and achieve easily.  I love my nephew, but now I feel like we are kindred souls.

Now back to that sock issue.  I love Winter and all things that go with it, especially boots.  But I am having a sock conundrum.  The sock choices are endless... Cute, warm, colored, patterned, lace-trimmed, fuzzy, fleece-lined, sassy, and adorable... But none of them will stay UP.  I put them on, head out the door, and within 20 minutes, I am yanking them back up to where they should be.  Does anyone out there feel my pain?  Or have you all discovered the best socks in the world and have kept them a secret?  I try to blame my chunky calves, but then I realize there are gals with chunkier calves than me who never seem to have a sock issue.  I have tried different brands and different styles, and I am spending way too much time pulling up my socks.  I am open for suggestions.

So if I had to make a list of New Year's Resolutions, it would look like this:
1.  Find socks that stay up
2.  Become a famous Hollywood actress so I can age in reverse, too
3.  Win the Powerball
4.  Bathe the dog

If all that falls apart, you will find me on the couch with some BBQ chips and some sweet tea from Chick Fil-A.
