Ebay my clutter
2 months ago
I’ve been cleaning out my closet and when I come across an item that might be worth something I stick it on Ebay. So far I’ve turned half my closet into $80.00.

How I did it
It made me
smile prettier 
How I did it: I just made myself do it. After a while it just became routine. I brushed my teeth after breakfast and after dinner or before i went to bed. It's kind of funny that I couldn't go to sleep at night unless I brushed my teeth. I spent a couple nights laying in bed with this restless feeling like I was forgetting to do something, only to realize later that I had not brushed my teeth. Read how I did it…
It made me
Healthy
How I did it: I just quit, its as simple as that. I wasn't really a smoker to begin with. I could smoke a pack a day, but I could also not smoke in a day with no withdraw. Nicotine just doesn't affect me like it does others I guess. I will admit that about three days in since I quit I felt an urge to smoke, but it lasted maybe 2 days and I was fine after that.

It made me
love and be loved
How I did it: I worked with this girl at my job for a couple years. I have always liked her and one day I got the courage to ask her out.

I have a beginners song book and I’m learning how to read notes instead of just reading tabs. I can play a mean Yankee Doodle so far.
Matt Vs. the groundhog round 1
2 months ago
I finally weeded out most of my garden and I saved about 10 of the 48 sunflowers that I planted. I think one of my sunflowers is a suntree, I have never seen a sunflower this massive. My pumpkins are just doing amazing! The vines for my pumpkins are growing at an alarming rate, They are starting to grow outside the fence and they are trying to take over other plants. My main problem is the groundhog. The groundhog lives under my neighbors trailer and feeds off of the apples from their apple tree. Well the groundhog ran out of apples and now it has found my garden. I’ll have to act fast or no pumpkins this halloween :)
