learn to drive a stickshift (read all 2 entries…)
got a stick shift! 3 months ago

as of this past may, i took the plunge and got a stick – wooo. been learning since. been fun so far, and no major mishaps knocks on wood – i’m still learning cause i get to drive it only a few times a week, but i’m def more comfortable driving it already (when first began i was so nervous each time i went to drive it – my hands would be shaking afterwards, hah). i hope to get really good at it and to the point where driving it comes naturally w/o a thought, just as driving automatic was. :-D



get a cat (read all 2 entries…)
kitty! 15 months ago

got a kitten this summer. gray striped/white tabby. green eyes. so cute – she loves people :) our poppop got dibs on naming her, and thus we call her ‘tiger’



grow my own vegetable garden (read all 3 entries…)
failed attempt 16 months ago

i tried, and i failed on my first attempt – i got busy (with other things that needed my attention), and so the weeds got busy as well. i grew lettuce, and some carrots, and that’s about it. oh well. maybe try again next summer.
