How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I've worked in a restaurant for over a year, first as a hostess for about 10 months, and now as a server and occasional hostess. I learned the daily specials and got to know some of the regular customers before I was offered the serving job. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I broke out the acrylics, and sketched out a design. Then I mixed colors and painted! I persevered and worked with basic colors and basic shapes. I wanted something that could have a significance greater than what is seen immediately, and I think I accomplished that. I know it's basic, but there are nuances. The purple square casts no shadow, for instance. It is singular. It is away from the group. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel strong
How I did it: I got into the water and lifted my feet. I was given some small advice on how to kick my legs, hold my head and how to move my arms.I've been practicing on and off for years. I sort of ... failed lessons when I was 6 and gave up, but eventually got tired of life jackets and the shallow end of the pool. =) Read how I did it…

Meal #7

Pasta salad with a homemade dressing, veggies (cherry tomatoes, cucumber and brocolli) cut small, and a homemade garlic bread. For the bread I made two Italian loaves, garlic butter, and grated cheese onto the slices before I toasted them.
