How I did it: My boyfriend worked with me quite a bit on it. I played a lot of Tiger Woods video game to learn the rules of the game. And watched A LOT of the golf channel! Then I went to the driving range and worked on my swing and finally have been going out and playing 9. Read how I did it…
How I did it: The pyramids were really cool to see. The great pyramids at Giza were wonderful but such a pain to try and navigate. The locals that are in your face wanting money are awful!! I really enjoyed the step pyramid of king Zoser in Saqqara even more! It was much more visitor friendly. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, I made it a goal to lick the planet! Starting with the pyramids!! So when I got there I walked up to the first pyramid and licked it!! Read how I did it…

I’ve ever had to do. I’ve had a number of relationships fail for one reason or another. Some were my fault, some were in the fault of others. The thing I’ve learned most of all is that most of the time the fault doesn’t matter, what matters is are you comfortable spending your time with the people you choose to have around you?
If no, then move on. No matter how painful it may be. That’s the biggest lesson I’ve taken from this goal. It may not be the same for you, but it is what it is in my life.
I can’t keep on the way I’ve always done things. We live we learn, and I’ve changed quite a bit. I want to be everything I’ve dreamt of being despite what anyone thinks I can do. I know what I’m capable of and I’ll achieve it!
So here’s to starting anew and slowly letting the pain subside with hurts of the past.
I tried a couple of standards at karaoke just to see how I’d feel doing it. It was fun, but I don’t just want to sing… I want to SING! So now I’d really like to find somewhere beautiful to sing and sing like I mean it to feel accomplished! I really want to find the perfect song so I can feel like a real singer, even if it’s only for a night.
