I always fail when I make a resolution. I've been trying to stop biting my nails for the past 20 years or so.
ETA: I do kind of have one. I need to cut down on the swearing and drinking. You would not guess that I work in a corporate setting based on the fact that I spend my weekends living like a frat boy.
Be more productive. I'm such a slacker/procrastinator with projects at home. H and I both need to be better at this. We bought curtains for the family room back in August (I think) and still haven't hung them. I know it will only take an hour or so, but we still just haven't done it.
I don't really do resolutions either but I am going to keep on keeping on with my healthier lifestyle. I finally thing H is on to my bandwagon too. It will make life so much easier if he also wants to be healthier.
I don't really do them anymore because I never keep them. However, before Christmas I did make the decision to eat/be healthier so I am watching my portions and working out more.
I don't really have any. I can't think of any areas of my life dragging me down right now, so given all I've got on my plate at the moment I think "stay the course" is a good plan of action.
I've got some resolutions for other people, though.

"Stay the course" is a good way to put it, so I'm stealing from Fuss. I'd like to keep up with eating well, exercising, and making financial goals a priority.
Also, I might try to drink less. Moderate better, or some such thing.
Resolutions are setting yourself up for failure. I appreciate having "goals"... but resolutions. Hell no.
My "goals" this year are mostly BW&R related... get further in my challenge, post something every day (even if it's small) and start posting about the non-challenge things I'm reading.
I have plans for things I need to accomplish in 2013:
1) I WILL plan our wedding and will not put it off any longer. I'm just dreading it, but it has to be done! I sent out some e-mails yesterday asking for pricing and we are planning a trip to check a few places out (we are getting married about 4 hrs away from home, so it will be a mini vacation to check places out).
2) Lose weight, as always. I went to a Weight Watchers meeting on Sunday. I NEED meetings...probably for the rest of my life. sigh...
3) Revise our budget because what we are doing isn't working. With grocery prices going up and my DS eating way more than he did the beginning of last year, I need to figure out where to cut my costs somewhere else.
I am holding myself accountable for all of these and FI 50% accountable for #1 & 3 and asking for support on #2.
