How I did it
How to roller skate to work
It took me
1 day
It made me
Frustrated

How I did it: Put on my skates and wrist guards and jumped on the bike path.  Unfortunately, most of the path is "paved" (to use the word generously) in a ridiculously bad condition of gravel.  It took me about 45 minutes to go 3 miles, which is barely any faster than walking.  That's the last time I try rollerskating near LSU!

How to dance salsa and merengue and bachata
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: I was at a dance club and an old man offered to teach me how to dance.  I had a blast.  He showed me basic, introductory steps to all three of these dances, and then we danced faster or with a little more fluidity.  Read how I did it…

How to finish listing my books on half.com
It took me
1 day
It made me
lighter (and richer)

How I did it: I collected the books to sell in a large box.  I went through them all carefully noting their condition, what was wrong with them, etc.  I spent a couple hours listing all of them on the website and choosing prices, while I watched a movie.  Then this morning I woke up to discover someone had already purchased one!

figure out if I want to have children (read all 3 entries…)
27.5 6 months ago

Over the past couple of months, I have had some strange new thoughts about how raising a kid is one a way to make a difference in the world. Maybe it’s just a selfish way to leave your own mark. But the notion of starting a family has been slightly more appealing as of late. I’m still on the fence, I guess. Children are alright but babies are trouble.

Meds? 8 months ago

I’m not sure, but I think the medication I’m on has really helped me avoid this problem in recent months.

get all of my stuff out of my parents' house (read all 9 entries…)
Another load 8 months ago

I am loading up the car with stuff today, again! And moving things out of “my” room at home so that my parents can live there while the remodel is underway.

I have even been paring down the stuff in my new house in Baton Rouge.
