Thats awsome, my moms been doing that for about a year now.

to continue publishing the best issues i can with my magazine.

be a positive influence on those around me.

remember to perform a 'random act of kindness' of every week.

gift to charities.

love everyone, even those i do not like, as they are living breathing human beings and deserve to be treated with respect.

accept and love myself for who i am... and then strive to shine even brighter. :sunny:

i hope to stop being so lazy sometimes.

i'd like to keep my GPA up...3.71 right now..w00t

get a good web design internship at the end of the year

I've been saying this for a few years but I recently had more inspiration. My sister has been causing a lot of stress on our family lately and mom keeps saying she can't take anymore.

wow, where do you even get the cash to buy them? i agree... definitely time to quit!

I wonder when he started... :eek: it's illegal anyway if you're under 18. Heh, maybe I should look up the Nebraska police's phone number. ;)

I'm actually 16. I never really liked tobacco. I got started smoking weed occasionally and it turned into more of a habbit. I've been off it for almost 4 months now and I plan to stay off it!!! Its wierd though, its so much easier to get drugs than tobacco or even alcohol.
New year, Lets kick it off right. Drug free baby!!

I can't wait to see Kara's New Years Resolution

Very cool! Do you have a breed you're interested in? I looked into that when we got Diamond, but she's way too soft for that.

Nope. I want to produce obscene quantities of mice. Not just profane...we're talking really offensive. So that means expanding. ;)

i always knew there was something i reaaaaaaaally liked about your kara... and know i can put my finger on it! :sunny:

1. Find a better job that doesn't treat me like crap.
2. Get paid more at this better job when I find it.
3. Finally finish the baby/juvie Ball rack, and start on another one in case the two females I'm breeding give me eggs.
4. Successfully get these 2 female Balls bred, get fertile eggs, hatch them out, and have a good ratio of Pastels and females.
5. Buy a good-quality yellowbelly male at NARBC in February, and maybe a Hypo boa male for Sonja.

I don't know what else, but I'm sure this will be updated with something :)

Work harder at school work and everything.
Finish Snake cage upgrades.

Good for you for kicking the habits; they are a waste of money and time, as well as energy! It usually takes people years of bad experiences to quit, if they ever do.. there's no point in yellin at you for having vices if you want to quit!

My resolutions are:
-To plan this wedding and get the most out of the whole experience!
-To do more things w/ Marky (easier in the summer when parks, etc. are more accessible; though we have alot of planning to do!
-To finally breed/hatch some Pastel BP hatchlings, and maybe a few Spiders..
-To get some training into our poor horses; they basically loaf around now, though it is so muddy that in my defense, there is no safe footing at this time (where is the snow and frozen ground?)
-To spend more time with my little niece; I want to be more recognizable to her, not just someone she sees a few times a year.
-Trying to eat better; though I am not a fan of depriving myself when I am working a lot and burning it off..
To finally design and get my next tattoo (a portrait of my horse Cuesta) on my arm.

The main resolution is:

1)Cook at home more
2)Exercise more


1 & 2 = getting in shape and losing weight. I made the same resolution last year and failed miserably on the cooking at home. I lost weight, but it was mostly an end result of tonsillitis and gall bladder issues. Right now I'd like to keep some of the weight off and not gain it all back.

LOL...I think I'd make you miserable. I'm kind of a control freak.

neh you wouldn't. i looooove working on web sites. just holler if you need me :) i'm always looking for something to put in my portfolio.

Hope everyone has a great new year!

Mine are:

Live every moment to it's fullest
Enjoy all the things that are right in front of you
To laugh a really good laugh at least once a day
And to really just roll w/ the flow cuz it's a whole lot better for you then to keep fighting the currrent.

A friend of mine on LJ had the very best resolution I've ever seen, so I'm stealing hers. :D

"Be more like Steve Irwin.

Which is to say, be passionate, find work I enjoy, don’t be so afraid of things, find beauty in everything, go after what I want, respect all creatures, and have as much fun as possible!"

:yes:

Here are mine:

1)Get back in shape (round is not a good shape)
2)Focus on spending more time with the Family less time at work.
3)Get my BP projects started.
4)Streamline the rat breeding...auto water and auto food.

I should add get a mouse colony going and stop the rat colony for now...

I am going to lay off the Soda's and my wife is quiting smoking.

yes yes YES!!!

-to lift weights consistently and not get real lazy and just do it once in a while....im trying to get jacked

so here's a little something fun to add to this thread. how did you do with your resolutions from last year? i copied mine over from this old thread: http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=27218

things i resolve(d) to do in 2006:
• rearrange the herp room (again) so that i can fit in more racks - COMPLETED!
• build some of those racks myself - does have father-in-law build them for you count?
• get a new job - COMPLETED!
• pay off some bills (ack) - COMPLETED! (huge sigh of relief)
• produce my first ever bp babies - COMPLETED! :D
• read, in its entirety, the novel written by my best friend (i'm not so good at reading) - failed. friend didn't finish revising the novel. :(
• talk my husband into getting a tattoo (we NEED matching tattoos ) - failed. (added to this year's list :P)
• make lots and lots of gecko babies! - COMPLETED! :sunny:

things i resolve(d) NOT to do in 2006:
• spend more money on herps than i can actually afford - hmm, that could be a matter of opinon...
• stop drinking caffeine (tried it, succeeded, then failed. i NEED it dangit!) - BIG time FAIL. :pepsi:
• hold back too many crested gecko babies for the sole reason that they are cute ( :gulp: ) - COMPLETED! i was so very good. i think i deserve to add a few more to the collection to reward myself. :)

1. not fail classes while in school(so far so good)
2. add more tarantulas to my collection(havent bought any in like 3 years!!)
3. add more snakes to my collection
4. keep educating fellow classmates/relatives on tarantula and snakes(gets harder as i get new classmates)
