How I did it
How to see billy talent in concert
It took me
3 months
It made me
Exhilerated

How I did it: Made up my mind that if they came within a 500 mi radius of where I live I would be there. Found a show date in Vegas and bought the tickets as a surprise for my husband's 25th bday. Read how I did it…

How to learn 100 new words
It took me
7 days
It made me
self improving

How I did it: I just logged onto freerice.com and kept an excel spreadsheet open at the same time. Each time I learned a new word that I considered worthy of incorporating into my vocabulary I copied it over. Then, after I"d got 100 of them, I went back and tried to define them all in the cell next to it. Obviously there were a few I couldn't remember, so I used dictionary.com and wikipedia.com to not only learn the definition of the word, but to put i… Read how I did it…

How to eat beignets in New Orleans
It took me
3 years
It made me
delish

How I did it: Went back to Cafe Beignet - a staple of my early days in New Orleans and ordered a few beignets with hot chocolate (not coffee- hot cocoa is the more traditional and suited accompaniment in my opinion as a true blue cajun) ;)  Read how I did it…

stop biting my lips
Just relax, people! 8 months ago

I find it interesting that the people trying to do this also want to “mediate” and “have normal sleep hours”.

I think that says a lot about what is contributing to the biting problem. Stress has got to be the #1 cause (I know it was for me). A lack of consistent sleep hours to me indicates an unhealthy lifestyle. I started biting my lips this year (my senior year in college) because I’ve been so stressed about finding work after graduation, trying to get into grad school, trying to finish my senior thesis, etc. And, now that I have 3 job interviews scheduled this week, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel for school, and I’m just ready to let the biting go completely.
