How I did it
How to travel on Amtrak
It took me
1 day
It made me
adventurous.

How I did it: I've made several trips on Amtrak, especially when I lived in California.  I probably rode Amtrak at least once a month while I lived there.  It is definitely the most comfortable mode of travel. Read how I did it…

How to get a cat
It took me
28 years
It made me
excited.

How I did it: I haven't really owned any animals since I lost my border collie who was 13 and my ferret who was 6.  I've been moving around a lot and I work long hours as a nurse, so it seemed unfair to own any animals, though I really missed having them.  My friend had several chihuahuas and a cat that she was having to bring back and forth to Hawaii and the she was afraid the trips were becoming to hard for her adult cat.  And that is … Read how I did it…

How to volunteer
It took me
1 day
It made me
fulfilled.

How I did it: I just walked in to the local literacy program and asked if I could  help.  They put me to work right away.  It even led to a paid gig that I loved doing.  Same thing with hurricane Katrina.  I just called the Red Cross and was assigned to the local shelter right away.

Try a new recipe each week
Week One:Turkey Apple Sanwich 6 months ago

The version on Yahoo foods clocked in at a whopping 930 calories but my version was only 313 calories.

2 slices wheat bread
1 tablespoon Miracle Whip dressing
3 slices Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh honey smoked Turkey Breast
1 slice Kraft Deli Fresh Sharp Cheddar Cheese
4 slices Granny Smith green apple

It’s easy to make and a great twist on a classic sandwich. I really enjoyed the texture and the taste.

drink more water (read all 2 entries…)
The plan: 6 months ago

Start by drinking 2 glasses a day and try to increase the amount by one glass every week until I’m drinking five glasses of water a day (the ideal for my body weight).

finish my degree
Undecided-Need it to teach English abroad 6 months ago

I go back and forth on whether or not to finish my degree. I am an LVN with no interest in pursuing an RN, mostly because I couldn’t do the job I do now if I got my RN. I’ve always threatened to get a degree in English, but it seems kind of silly. This is something I may do much later down the road, simply because at this point it would be a waste of time and money. I would need the degree to teach English abroad though and I would enjoy the process of getting it. I am only a year or so away, so it is something I should probably do.
