Your Hair Looks Special.
My 2011 rocked. Which was good, because the two prior years stunk. Somewhere around March 2011 it all clicked and I rolled into the “Summer of Awesomeness” and haven’t stopped.
With that in mind, I have decided not to make any resolutions that make me feel bad (i.e. lose 30 pounds - it won’t happen and I will feel bad in three months.)
My resolutions are:

This article on Slate on annoying catchphrases of 2011 fails to mention “winning” and is therefore is completely invalid.
