I took it upon myself to join a local gym, and over a year's time, lost 30 pounds and lowered my blood sugars...part of my diabetic regimen.

Every year I resolve to be less wasteful throughout the year. It works for me most of the time. No more buy one get one 50% off. I rarely use the second item or forget where I put it. So I guess that's a resolution.

Not really. I always am trying to diet and have good habits. Every year I think: “this could be the best year of my life!”

Because it's the truth. I stopped even making them about 10 years ago.

I don't make resolutions i can't keep. I set goals for myself a little at a time and do my best to reach them, don't usually set very far out. 3-6 months.

I haven't because I don't make them. If doing or not doing something seems imporrtant to me, I don't care if it's New Years or not. I will make a plan on how to do or stop doing something, and make the necessary changes. I haven't kept any New Years Resolutions, but I haven't broken any either.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
