FINALLY able to land myself a job that’s full time, so I’m finally breaking the $1000 a month wall!! (depressing, I know). I’m ticked that it took this long, but at least it happened at all. If all goes well, I should be in the clear in a matter of a couple months.

How I did it: My boyfriend and I have the same group of friends online. < nerd alert >We 'run' a fictional Ghostbusters franchise known as Ghostbusters:Nightsquad, which started out as a group that used to write fan fiction, but now we host a fowl-mouthed, in-crowd web show with the local group (3-4 of us).< / nerd alert >For a while, we had tossed around the idea of having a get together, seeing as how we are sort of the 'group leaders'.

How I did it: My teeth weren't super gross looking, but you could tell in pictures they were a little dingy. I tried the Arm and Hammer whitening booster ages ago. It had mixed reviews, but it was cheap so I tried it anyway. I kept a photographic record and diary to give my impressions and everything. I didn't see much of a change, but it wasn't so big of a deal. I'm now using the 14 day Crest White Strips Classic, as I can't bring myself to spend 4… Read how I did it…
How I did it: In 1998 I got to see Beauty and the Beast while on a trip to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade with my school's marching band.Then a year to two later I got to see Les Miserables (?) which was my favorite soundtrack at the time.

I’m doing it. I’m not sure how, but I am. A few weeks ago I was having intestinal problems – painful bloating, gas, etc. They’ve actually been steadily increasing over a few months, and had suddenly gotten bad. I mean to the point that I wasn’t ever hungry. It was so bad I was getting bloated from eating the smallest amount of food, I mean within 2-3 bites I’d be down for the count.
So I switched up my diet to include more probiotic foods, like yogurt and bananas, and pickles(health food? It’s true!). I also included a couple glasses of Metamucil and within days my insides got a complete overhaul. Since then I haven’t had gas or bloating problems, and I’ve been able to make it 4 out of 5 nights without getting up in the middle of the night. I don’t know if these things are related or not, but this is the update.
