Oh how I wish this wasn't based on experience =) Although as part of my New Year health kick I've vowed to drink less and exercise more. Both are doing very well... although I note it's only January 11th! However nothing really beats being able to walk home with a bit more grace and sophistication than usual so I'm hoping to keep this one going. Have written the following to remind myself that this is a very good thing. Anyway, I hope your resolutions are going well too - what did you resolve for 2011, if anything??

In the dead of night.
The clacker of the cobbles
Against my stiletto heels,
Shatters the silence,
Filling it with echoes,
Like a ghostly horse's tap dance.
Bubbles tickle my cold nose,
As a tipsy hiccup surfaces,
With the grace of a drunken goat,
I stumble with a scrape,
Catching my tumble,
Before it has the chance to happen.
Creeping smile spreads out,
Across my rosy, amused cheeks,
At the hilarity of it all,
Unthinkable unbalancing,
And a swagger like a thug,
Wearing challenging skyscraper shoes.
Unbearable hunger surfaces,
Like a demon with unstoppable venom,
Fixed focus now on a single goal,
And not one for the diet,
As I change the route,
And head off towards the Saturday sin-cabin...
Fried stuff.
Fail.
