How to know your New Year's resolutions are DOA

January 9:


Me:  *starts to order at IHOP*

Waitress:  It would be cheaper if you ordered all-you-can-eat pancakes.

Me:  *shrugs*  Ok.


February 5 is Chinese New Year.  AKA second-chance, I'm-seriously-serious-this-time New Year.


Which gives me...3½ weeks to keep eating all-you-can-eat pancakes.
