Every year is the chance to make a difference, try something new, stop doing something, etc...

What are your new years resolutions?

Mine: Quit smoking, spend more time with my kids and pets, be a nicer person, keep my apartment cleaner, answer one guinea pig question a day on yahoo answers, flag guinea pig breeders on craigslist, and shop as little as possible at stores that sell pets.

Mine are to stop procrastinating (I haven't begun yet :) ), Finally get a job (probably soon), intern at my local zoo, apply for a college (it's a shame I haven't applied yet), get Oreo (my cat) neutered, get a car my mom and I can agree on, volunteer more, foster a guide-dog or parrot, and some others I can't think of...

My resolutions are as follows ....
Write a novel
Feed my guinea pigs veggies even when I'm too tired when I get home from school
Volunteer more often
Foster some rabbits or guinea pigs
and generally be a better person.

We'll see if that all happens. What with my procastination issues, it may not. :D

my news resolution is just to not stress out about things so much, I am such a worry wart. And if I can do that every aspect of my life will just be happier and more relaxed

I usually come up with 10+ new years' resolutions, but the top of the list is getting High Fructose Corn Syrup out of my diet. Blech.

Wow! Some of those were really creative and thought-out! Mine are to spend more time with my critters, reduce my stress (can be helped by spending more time with my critters), and raise my college GPA.

Mine are:
Find a new job - one which is actually related to my degree
Try and eat better - I'm not very good at having proper meals and I admit I don't have the best diet, hopefully when I do get my guinea-pigs it will encourage me to eat more veggies as they will always be in the house.
Start tutoring biology in my spare time :)
Volunteer at a local animal shelter

-taking shorter showers.

I have a technique for you. I had to learn taking shorter showers when I was going in the military. So when I was still at home before I left, my parents bought me one of those sand timer things. Not sure if thats what it's called its those gadgets you have to flip over to start the sand going down into the other end and when that is done your time is up.
Anyway, having that in the shower helped me learn how to take faster showers.
I take shorter showers than my husband now.

Oooh I will have to try that. It sounds like that could work for me. I think I have one of those timers, it came with a game, I think pictionary. I will try it out tonight and tell you how it works.

My personal ones are to try harder in school and to be a better pet mom. Me and my best freind have written a list of things we aim to do this year, like eat our 5 a day, write a childrens book, do more volunteer work, do and complete sponsred events for charity, get a payed job, save up £1000, the list goes on! Doing it with freinds helps to keep you motivated!
