Happy New Year, everyone!

As we say goodbye to 2009 and welcome 2010 in, everyone is talking about their New Year’s resolutions: whether it be to join a gym, quit smoking, or cut back on getting McDonald’s for breakfast every morning.

Us single gals and guys need to make resolutions too– love resolutions. In this week’s Caroline’s Plate, we look at five New Year’s love resolutions.

You get to unapologetically watch marathons of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” in your disgusting, tattered sweats. You can stay out until 3 or go to bed at 8 and don’t have to justify your behavior to anyone. You have the freedom to flirt with whomever you please, whenever you please. $4.99 wine and a bagel for dinner? Why not. Don’t feel like cleaning the kitchen? Don’t do it. Sometimes, it can be fabulous to be on your own. So, write down the things you love about being single. If you ever start to feel down about your singularity, bring out this list and remind yourself that being single can be pretty wonderful.
