How I did it: So I love food (I'm a food scientist) and I love photography, organizing (scrapbooking). So naturally I decided to take a picture of every single thing I eat in one year's time. There are several more reasons for doing this crazy feat - I need to loose weight and this is a good way to stop snacking, I am stingy so when I pay for something I like to remember it, you can tell a lot about where you were and who you were with by y… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I found out that I'm lactose intolerant (probably why I didn't ever want to drink milk in the first place) so now I drink Silk. It actually works out pretty well since I work at Malt-O-Meal now as a QA tech and I eat about a bag's worth of cereal a day for sensory (dry of course).Plus I get a ton of take home - so now i have awesome, free cereal in which to have Silk.YAY Read how I did it…
How I did it: My husband and I decided to buy a house so we started looking around - we saw a lot of good ones so we contacted a Realtor that two of our friends had suggested we use. She showed us around and I think we looked at 30 or so houses before we saw the one we bought. We loved it because it was an older home and it had just been redone on the inside. Compared to the homes made in 2000 and later, it was solid and had an unique… Read how I did it…
So after a year of saving/paying off debt we finally made our first payment to my parents for the move; however, as my mom has always said I will never be able to pay her back for giving me life. But I always tell her that I can start somewhere at least. So for now its the 5k for moving, then itll be the 17k for the car, then itll be the 60k for college.
and on top of that we owe his parents too. looks like even if we aren’t in debt with the government, we will always be with someone.
so i originally started dancing for fun, then i continued to dance because i wanted to get better, now i don’t want to give up because of what it taught me. i was a member of hill and veil at virginia tech and lost my friend reema samaha. i only knew her for a brief time, but she was such an inspiration to me, to all of us really. she always was positive toward my dancing, even though i was really self conscious about dancing in front of her because she was so good and i was so not good. she never made me feel bad for not getting the move as soon as we learned it and was just so much fun to be around. it isn’t so much that i want to dance still for her or to remember her, its more like i want to still dance because i don’t want to give up on something just because i graduated or just because i don’t want to remember why im sad all the time. belly dancing always reminds me why i continued to dance and hang out with those girls. they were my first real girl friends, and for that, and for reema, i will never stop belly dancing.
i went to nyc for hte first time over my last spring break (WOO) and bought the flu at FAO schwartz…well my fiance bought it for me, but it was cuter to say he gave me the flu =)
its a giant microbe by the way…and its super cute
