It made me
At last!

How I did it: I called up a friend and asked for recommendations weeks ago, but I finally got around to setting up an appointment earlier in the week. Now it's done and I can cross it off the list! Read how I did it…

How to decorate my house for Halloween/fall
It took me
20 days
It made me
Didn't complete it

How I did it: I bought several decorations but not nearly enough to decorate the house.  What I realized is that I started too late in trying to find just the "right" ones--not too kitschy.  Then, I got involved with life and my relationship and traveling . . . endless excuses.

How to take a picture everyday for 1 week (Sept. 24-Oct. 1, 2009)

7 days

I’ve slowed down considerably—I’ve got 18 pics up. But that’s ok, I plan to get to 30 pics no matter how long it takes. I did buy a new camera; a Canon Rebel Ti. Intimidating as hell! But I’m determined to learn . . .
