Show VTVV r SAYS SHE Ive found over the years that it is a waste of time for me to make New Year's resolu- tions. You see, I always break them about minutes 20 into the new year. Some may even last as long as two weeks, but it would be a world record if any of my good intentions ever stretched into February. Still, as each year end approaches, I find myself making a mental, if not written, list of areas where I definitely need to improve. That grows longer with each passing year because I HfVTM VT9TM HmtMMMm VTtflMMtTM HTt WMtrMf MTMM MtMTTMTMTTTTTM Thursday, Dec. 24, WEST VALLEY VIEW 5 T T W . f fT f t f 1981 by Michele Bartmess never seem to overcome any of the previous years shortcomings.

I've lost a thousand pounds in my lifetime - the same 10 over and over and over - most often in January . also -- Then on New Years Day, Id eat twice as much of the shrimp dinner we have planned.

But Id be smart, Id decide to visit the doc first to make sure all is well. Only Id keep Sports reading keep getting too busy to make the appointment and pretty soon it would be September and Id figure Im getting plenty of exercise tramping the sidelines with my camera. Id vow to use my time more wisely stop wasting it and put- pul on it. But the bills will come pouring in and Ill dump them there. Ill also drop in some junk mail and things I just might want to consider later. Only later never comes. On my 1982 list Id resolve that my car would no longer resemble a rolling garbage can. Id even go so far to to clean it out. - ting myself under pressure from things that have to be done. But, alas, Id have to catch up on the back issues of my magazines and watch a few television shows. And pet the kitty and stare at the fire. . KHS Activity - KEARNS.

Id promise to become a better daughter, friend, employe, Arts Council president, writer, cousin, etc., but I know me. I just never quite get around to doing things as well as Id like to. So you New see, Years resolutions simply aren't for me. I hate failure. And guilt has never been my bag either. So I simply avoid the problem.

And do you know what happened? There I was, trying my best to keep that resolution when it became necessary for Utah to beat Wyoming so 1 could go to the Holiday Bowl. But I dont feel too guilty. Cause you see, I really didn't root for the Utes to win. I was hoping for a tie. And there would have been one if Wyoming hadn't had so doggone much pride. Oh well, I guess everything finally turned out for the best. The Cougars beat the U when the chips were down and then they whipped Washington State. But Im not taking any chances.
