Most of the rolls of film are wedding pictures. And, well, now that we’re in the midst of a divorce, I’m not sure if I want to go through with it. Just seems like it would conjure up a bunch of really awful, bad, hurtful feelings. Feelings that I am trying to escape from now.

How I did it: I watched them all with my 5-year-old son. Obviously, his patience is pretty short, but we managed with lots of breaks and loads of junk food. It wasn't all entirely consecutive, as we had a few interruptions, but it's probably as good as it's going to get for a few more years. We'll definitely do it again, though. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Had a friend come over one day with a paint brush and all the tools, and said tonight was the night we'd finish the bathroom. Not only did we finish it, we had a great time in the process. However, I don't live there anymore, so I'm not enjoying the fruits of my labor as much as I'd like. Read how I did it…
This always happens around the holidays: pants get a bit tight, my dresses begin to look inappropriately revealing (and not in a sexy way)...too many family gatherings and too many good cooks contribute.
It’s usually about a 5-7 lb. gain between the 1st of November until the New Year, and I most always lose it, but I’d just like to drop it a little sooner than usual…I miss feeling comfortable. :(
According to the “Challenge Myself” timeline, I have five years to do this. I intended to make it a week, then something screwed up, and it said I had over 91 years (which it might actually take that long at the rate I’m going).
Just wanted to add that clarifier, as I don’t know how to change the date.
