Leaving Hate to the Professionals (Grady Doctor's Title)

I'm inspired by a fantastic real live doctor who blogs at Reflections of a Grady Doctor to take a pledge and stick to it for the rest of the month. Do it with me! Hold me to it!

Here's the pledge:

I, Elizabeth Aquino, do solemnly pledge to allow no insults directed toward or about myself to leave my lips for the rest of the month. This includes but is not limited to references about the following:

• butt size
• hair length
• baby weight
• belly circumference
• skin surface
• crows' feet
• height
• complexion
• salary
• material possessions
• marital status
• relationship status
• grades
• achievements in comparison to someone else
• achievements of your children
• size of your house
• make of your car
• mistake from your past
• compliments to others with reflexive insults to yourself in same breath

The good news is that you can liberally make reference to the following:

• Craziness of your own family members (but only in presence of other family members)
• Annoying quirks of your significant other (but only in absence of your significant other)
• Any person who stars on any reality television show including but not limited to any Kardashian, Snooki, the people on the Parking Wars show, and any of the housewives Real or Basketball. (Exception to this rule: "Swamp People" and the daddy on "Pawn Stars.")
