I'm doing 10 things
I have two financial goals that have been priorities for me, one of which has been coming along, the other, less so: 1) Get rid of debt 2) Save money. I probably need to do some more goal setting, otherwise I’ll just spend it all! Old habits are hard to break.

How I did it
It made me
Feel good inside! 
How I did it: 1. I forced myself to cook dinner most nights of the week -- eating dinner at restaurants was not an option.2. I bought myself tupperware containers to store & freeze leftover meals, and a (wood) cutting board - an essential item. 3. I bought myself a Presto digital timer, which has been a lifesaver in the kitchen. You'll never burn a meal again!4. Went on Amazon and looked for the highest rated vegetarian cookbooks. One of them, Quic… Read how I did it…

feel good!
How I did it: I found a local dance studio called Dragonfly (Decatur, GA). Down South Swing operates out of there. My class size was huge, and mostly couples unfortunately for me…but I had a blast anyway, and took Swing 101 lessons for one month. They covered all the basic steps in detail, and each lesson we would rotate around the room so we danced with everyone (of the opposite sex) in the room. A great way to meet people and potential dance partners… Read how I did it…
It made me
Fearless.
How I did it: I approached. And approached. And approached again. I've probably approached upwards of 600 women in the last year. I became an active member of the Atlanta PUA group, found myself a bunch of guys I could go out with on a regular basis. I approached women in shopping malls, grocery stores, bank parking lots, street corners, coffee shops, nightclubs, art galleries...everywhere. Read how I did it…

- Saw the SF Botanical Gardens
- Had a great time at a blues club
- Awesome meals at Indian, Turkish & Thai restaurants
- Visited Union Square & local art galleries
- Had lunch in Haight Ashbury and saw Janis Joplin & Jimi Hendrix’s homes
- Did a tour of Kink.com headquarters at the SF Armory in the Mission neighborhood
- Took photos of cool graffiti mural art in the Mission
- Today, seeing Muir Woods redwood forest and Golden Gate bridge
Trying new things makes me happy & keeps me from having too many “Ground Hog Day” moments. Tonight, I went to a new restaurant, Two Urban Licks with my friend Julia, and had a great dinner/dessert.
Last weekend I tried a new yoga studio, Active Sol and the grocery store across the street, Fresh Market.
And next week I start a new job!! Woohoo! More vacation days, better salary, bonus & I get to work with a friend of mine, a former co-worker who left for greener pastures.
Tomorrow, I leave for a 5 day vacation to San Francisco (never been!), and look forward to exploring.
