For a few years now, I've been telling people that I know that I don't do New Years Resolutions. It just seems like a waste of time and energy to me. Walk w/me for a bit.

It's December 26th, you've finally decided on a New Years Resolution, you plot and plan and scheme and come up w/an excellent way to achieve your goal. You tell everyone that you know and they tell you theirs. New Years arrives and you're STOKED!!! You're ready! You're a barbarian @ the gate and you're ready to storm the freakin' castle! And, for the first week, you do; you may even go the entire month! But, by the time Valentine's day rolls around, your old habit has grabbed you by the throat, thrown you against the wall and (@#%^&^*%%%*&&&!!!) your New Years Resolution...well! And, by that time, you're glad 'cause you were miserable; trying to force yourself to change when you aren't ready has NEVER worked! Ever! And this happens every year. Year in and year out, time after time, and every December 26th or so, you do the exact same thing.

And this year, I thought I could buck the system and set a resolution that works!

Ha! All I wanted to do is shut my mouth and learn something for a change. I really hate the way that I speak out of turn and cut people off when they're trying to make a point. I thought that this year, I could do it! I could make a change and maybe even make another! Again I say...

Ha!

So, here I sit, not even 7 days into the new year and I can't shut my mouth for trying.

They have things you can take for diarrhea, but what do you take for acute logorrhea???

Practice! Patience! Persistence!

Then, perfection! Yeah.

Last year, WMATA made SmarTrip cards more widely available for sale at CVS and Giant , but now customers can also choose to add money to their cards at both chains while they check out. Many CVS stores actually began offering customers the ability to reload their SmarTrip cards back in April, while Giant has only started to test the sales devices at eight area stores. The grocer will likely add 42 more locations later this summer. Not every CVS or Giant has the new SmarTrip reload technology, but a lot of them do. Consult the list of participating stores to find the one closest to you. The change means that SmarTrip users need no longer necessarily wait in line to access Metro's machines insi...
