43 weird facts about myself
2 entries . 1 cheer |
18 people |
How I did it: I just thought about a few of my likes and dislikes and wrote a few words about each in a post. I chose to post each random fact separately in a post as this made it easier for me to explain it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started out writing about a simple memory of an event that happened when I was a child and tried to put in as much detail as I could to turn it into a story that would be interesting to read. I asked myself, "what happened, when did it happen, and what was special about it?" then I got started. Sometimes, it wasn't just a specific event but a series of memories about things that occurred everyday and how I felt about them. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Just thought about it. And then did it. Although, I couldn't just pick just one. There are so many great musicians from every walk of life to be represented. I could have gone on and on the rest of the year picking out a new one each day and never exhausted the endless tallented people out there. Read how I did it…
I’ve been away awhile. Partly because our computer was down, partly because everyone needs a break now and then. I know I need to do some catching up. Send a few postcards, post about what has been happening with my life and goals, send a few cheers out.
So far, I think I have lost about 10 pounds. The bathroom scales says I weigh 168 lbs. That means I have 16 pounds until I hit 152 lbs. and 33 lbs. until I reach my pre-baby weight from 22 years ago. I already have one pair of jeans that I can pull on/off without unbuttoning or unzipping and another that is much looser than before. I still cannot wear a regular size 12 jeans (non-stretch) but hope to get there soon.
For some reason I like the feel of warm mud between my toes. As a kid there wasn’t a mud puddle safe from me.
