"I've been on a calendar, but never on time."
This is one of my many favorite quotes by divas who are neither southern or related to me. Poor Marilyn really got the short end of the stick. She was much smarter than the ditzy blond movie star she channeled. I find the story of her life fascinating and have read dozens of books on her. My opinion: it was not suicide.
I'll be bringing more Words of Wisdom from some of my favorite divas in the future.

New Year's Resolutions 2012
So I've written mine down.....two full, nicely typed pages, categorized with numbered bullet points. I showed it to a friend of mine who said, "Oh my God, you look like someone with OCD." Well, hopefully not that bad, but since organization was on the list, I thought it only prudent that my list be organized.
My Aunt Rene never made resolutions. She would say every year that if you were doing what you were supposed to do, you wouldn't need to write it down. That might be true, but I tend to be very forgetful. Anyway, if they're written down and I haven't accomplished anything by the end of the month, there they are in black and white, ready to make me feel guilty and try to play "catch up."
So far, I haven't broken any. I have resisted the magnetic pull of the hot-off-the-press glazed donuts at the Krispy Kreme just right down the street. I nearly cried when they built it last summer. I could eat my weight in those things. But I have not had a single one pass my lips since it was built. I joked to my other friend who is also a KK addict that I almost wished it would burn down, thereby removing the temptation. The next closest one to me is a good 30-minute drive and just not worth the effort.
Must go now and meditate upon this year's goals. What are your goals for this year?
