How I did it
How to touch a giraffe
It took me
1 day
It made me
wayyyy ecstatic

How I did it: okay. so. my brother mentioned this place "Out of Africa" that's semi-close to where my husband and i live. we decided yesterday to take the day up there. on the website, you take a Serengeti safari around some giraffes and zebras... general safari animals, then the place is like a big ole' safari animal zoo. it was wonderful!i was filled with butterflies the entire way there, because really... what if the giraffe doesn't come over? we go… Read how I did it…

How to be friends with my ex
It took me
6 months
It made me
thankful.

How I did it: I say six months, cause I don't know what else to put. With each person it's different. I think the number one thing to do is to take some time apart. You need time to solidify the divide, first of all. Second of all, you need to remember who you are apart from them... and see them as they are as well. If you remain close to them after a break up, more than likely, you'll either end up with them again, (just continuing in a vicious cycle)… Read how I did it…

speak at least two languages fluently (read all 2 entries…)
rooski! 9 months ago

i got another russian course book. it’s really helping. my mind is thinking in a different pattern and i think the words are sticking a little better.

it’s exciting. i’ve always wanted to speak at least one language fluently. i’m working so hard to make Russian one of them.
