How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I have a miniture pinscher and have read that they are very smart dogs, but I was amazed at how little I had to work with him to train him his tricks. I taught him the basic commands; sit, lay, shake, and stay. Then last night I decide to try something a little more fun. I know people do the "play dead" trick, so I thought I would do a slight variation by making a little gun with my finger and thumb and then pointing it … Read how I did it…
It made me
Feel Adventerous
How I did it: I surprised my husband by booking a trip to San Fran for our anniversary. He was suprised and excited and I got the chance to do something I had always wanted to do. During our trip I go to go running up those huge hills that I always see in movies. I also got to visit and run up Lombard Street (the curvyest street in the world), go to see Alcatraz prison, see a Redwood forest, experience a three hour time change, go on … Read how I did it…

I am always worried about my kids eating healthy when I pack their lunches, but more than half the time we go out to eat or just do a quick microwave meal for dinner. I know that I am tired and hungry after work, but it doesnt take that much more time to make a dinner. I want to start small and say that I will make sure to make at least two good home cooked dinners each week.
I always think I am going to get to things early, but then I just put it off and put it off until it is the last minute. I think I do work better that way. I do not enjoy the stess of doing it last minute though. I envy those who get things done ahead of time. They always seem so relaxed!
