My husband gave me my Christmas present early, partly because he was excited to give it to me, but mostly because he didn’t know how to hide, then wrap a 40 gallon fish tank and fit it under the tree. I’m going to start setting it up tonight. So excited!

How I did it: I needed to get a motorcycle endorsement so I could ride my 150cc scooter, a requirement in the state of WA. So, I signed up for a motorcycle safety course. I was on the bike and riding after the first half hour!If you want to ride a motorcycle or scooter, I highly recommend a safety training course. Not only will you get tips on handling and avoiding hazards, but you also learn about how to make yourself more visible to… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've always been intersted in microlending, and was exstatic when I stumbled across www.kiva.org. It's such a great organization, and allows you to choose where your money goes. It does not gain interest, so it's absolutely not a way to invest your hard earned dollars. But, it's an investment in human lives. I only spent $100, and was able to help 4 people on 4 different continents with their small business companies. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Doctor told me i had an abnormal pap test. After a colposcopy (doctor looks at your unmentionables with a large magnifying scope) and additional tests, I found out I had precancerous cells on my cervix. Doctor decided to give me a LEEP procedure where they cut out the affected area. After further tests, I still had the bad cells. I then had a cone biopsy to remove the rest of them, for which I had to go to the… Read how I did it…

I’ve taken two training classes, and didn’t pass the slow turning/balancing portion. I’m taking the test with my department of licensing on my scooter, so I don’t have to worry about the clutch. (need motorcycle endorsement because my scooter is 150cc) I’ve been practicing though, so I think I’ll pass this time!
If manufacturers ever come out with an affordable automatic transmission motorcycle, maybe I’ll trade in the scooter for one.
Wow, what a workout! I haven’t sweated that much in awhile.
