How I did it
How to take dance lessons
It took me
1 day
It made me
happy

How I did it: I have been wanting to take ballroom dance lessons for a long time now (the latin dances just look so sexy) and I googled for places offering lessons in my area.  I signed up for a 3-week long Tango class and after that I'll be doing Viennese Waltz and Rumba!It wasn't too expensive - $39 for 3 1.5 hour long lessons and the classes are fairly small so there's a lot of individual attention.I wanted to be totally committed so I even bought a… Read how I did it…

How to find a church i like and start attending regularly
It took me
3 months
It made me
happy

How I did it: I researched different religions online and read "about" pages of different churches in my area to see which ones looked like they might be a comfortable fit.I went to the Unitarian Universalist Church in Bellingham and after the first sermon I knew that it would be a great fit for me!  Everyone was really welcoming and friendly too, which is a plus since I'm so shy around new people.

How to make my own soap
It took me
1 day
It made me

get my tattoo touched up to perfection. (read all 3 entries…)
I've got a date 1 month ago

I went to the tattoo shop and discussed it with one of the guys there. He couldn’t do what I had originally wanted, which I’d pretty much resigned myself to anyway. He gave me quite a few ideas and after thinking about them a while and doing a little bit of research online I think I’ve found a good cover for my bad tattoo. Yay! I’m going back on Thursday to get it done.

Almost Done! 3 months ago
