**Miss Critter** · 12-23-2008, 07:41 PM

It seems every problem I've ever had, real or imagined, has been the result of fear in some form. My goal for 2009 is to live as fearlessly as possible, to see life as a child - as one big adventure.

2009: The year of living fearlessly!

My New Year's Resolution is make time in my busy life to reach out and help with the local Animal Resue Groups and no kill Shelters. There are so many Cat's and Dog's needing help, from fostering them until they can be adopted to donating blankets and food and toys. All of us should find some time to help those that can't help themselves.

**Just Jan** · 12-25-2008, 08:00 AM

The usual (only this time I will succeed). To eat less and exercise more.

**Jennifer Steele** · 12-25-2008, 12:48 PM

To participate in local races & runs...after training for them.

To write more...poetry, music, letters.

Make this world a better place by helping one person at a time, and start recycling !!!

**scooterbug44** · 12-26-2008, 12:04 PM

I never have just one resolution - I use every "new year" to squish bad habits and goose good ones in every aspect of life!

**cater** · 12-27-2008, 12:18 PM

It's being able to keep them ! Right ?
Happy New Year !!!!!! Cater

Live everyday to the fullest.

**Jdarg** · 12-29-2008, 05:18 PM

Eat and stress less.

Exercise, relax, play, read, and laugh more.

This is the uber-condensed version.

**Carol G** · 12-29-2008, 05:27 PM

Do more yoga.
Give and get more massage.
Write.
Make art.
Kayak.
Love.

Also uber-condensed. And I really shouldn't be in the drawing for the tickets, there must be some conflict of interest there somewhere. But it's good to get them down on paper... er, screen... maybe will make me more accountable...

**Gypsea** · 12-29-2008, 05:27 PM

To make a new friend each month.

**hnooe** · 12-29-2008, 05:47 PM

Thanks for doing this Smiley J! And thanks everyone who has seen Fully Committed, or are "committed" to going tonight or tomorrow... (har har har). We will be talking about this show for years to come. Maybe we can get Kevin to commit to doing it again (OK he will kill me now).

And how can this not be a great party?

**kurt** · 12-29-2008, 06:01 PM

Thanks Em and SJ!

If there are others who are interested in giving away tickets or having contests on SoWal.com just let us know.

**Smiling JOe** · 12-29-2008, 09:07 PM

Tonight's sold out show of Fully Committed was great, again. After seeing it five times, I should be fully committed! It is a bit different each time, and it is always funn to see. We are lucky to have such talent at the REP! The show closes tomorrow night, and I believe it is close to being sold out, if not already. You can always check to see if there are any last minute cancellations.

Now, for what we've all been waiting for... the winner for the four tickets to the WaterColor New Year's Eve Party is...

jdarg!!!

Congratulations!

Again, thanks to all who played, and a big thank you to all whom are contributing to the silent auction. See you on New Years Eve! Remember, you can go online to purchase your tickets!!! We have some great items lined up for the silent auction, thanks to so many special people who keep South Walton rolling. A special thanks to Kurt and SoWal.com, for letting us have a little funn in the process, and also for his generous contribution to the silent auction!

**Miss Kitty** · 12-29-2008, 09:20 PM

Wow! Maybe I am starting to be lucky.

And thank you little 5 oz. Baby Jesus!

**Miss Kitty** · 12-29-2008, 09:32 PM

...oh, my....I jsut made Mermy look at this and she saw the lbj and fell on the floor laughing and she snorted. Yes, she has been overserved.

I should have stopped by, as I saw your lights on!

Until this moment, I never realized that Lyndon B Johnson and little baby Jesus shared the same initials.

**Smiling JOe** · 12-29-2008, 09:25 PM

The girl should go buy some lottery tickets. Florida PowerBall goes on sale Jan 4.

**Smiling JOe** · 12-29-2008, 09:31 PM

I was about to say something about "5oz baby Jesus" until I realized you were talking about the figurine of baby Jesus, which probably does weight 5oz.

Congratulations!

Now, take some medicine, so you won't be sick, and get plenty of rest. Also, go ahead and drink plenty of Gatorade to hydrate you, and take a few Motrin, because after drinking free Champagne for two hours, you are going to need it the next day!!! The party runs fairly late, and I think they are even serving breakfast after the Champagne.

Ha! I will be lucky to make it until midnight. Maybe if I take to the bed and rest from now until party time- like that will happen.

Yes- I am buying lottery tickets for Wednesday night.

**Smiling JOe** · 12-29-2008, 09:55 PM

Kitty, my mother tells me that when my younger brother was born, I tried to convince her to name my brother, ...get this..., "Willy Baby Jesus!"

**SWGB** · 12-30-2008, 03:02 PM

I got a DD from Mermy last night. I have saved it on my voicemail and may just go ahead and digitize it for sowal.

**lindacjewelry** · 12-30-2008, 03:24 PM

Take more time to enjoy life instead of worrying and feeling sorry for myself and all my friends. Help my family and friends enjoy life along with me.
