A Book for Every Resolution

Happy New Year, you beautiful bags of friendship!

Here’s hoping you got everything you wanted for whatever holiday you celebrate (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Feast of Sweet Satan, Lebron James’ birthday, etc.), and that you didn’t fall into an open manhole and break your femur. (How does that always happen to you?)

In either case, we’re here for you, amigos… Our new resolution-themed window has everything you need to either a) keep your lucky streak going, or b) get your life back on track while your leg heals:

             

  

Hot mama! Look at all those potential resolutions! You’re probably wondering how we came up with them.

Well, what’re you waiting for? Do you really want to redesign your apartment, kill your spouse, and/or start a big ol' revolution, or what? Don’t let these become another batch of passionate resolutions that get discarded by February, like a delicious chocolate-covered Snickers bar that you buy in January and discard by February!

Make sure that this year is different! - Like Henry Ford always said, “Who cares if you fell in a stupid manhole? Dust yourself off, arm yourself to the teeth with books, and build your future with suicidal gumption and butterscotch dreams!”
