How I did it
How to see a movie at a drive-in theater
It took me
1 day
It made me
Amused

How I did it: There was a drive-in theater about a half hour away from where we were on vacation. I had apparently been there when I was too young to remember. We drove, we watched. Not much to it. :) Read how I did it…

How to pass exam MLC
It took me
1 year
It made me
giddy

How I did it: Worked lots and lots and lots of problems. It's the standard stuff for passing these things... it took two tries because there really is too much material to cram into one's head in one go 'round. Read how I did it…

How to scuba dive
It took me
2 weeks
It made me

How I did it: I took a class over one weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings). After getting the skills down, a group of us took a trip with an instructor over the next weekend. We did a handful of dives and now we're certified! And now I have a new friend and dive buddy from the class. Read how I did it…

swim a 5k
Untitled 2 weeks ago

With the notion that it is easier to exercise with a goal… I made this one. I’m not in great shape, but I’ve been swimming long enough that I can complete a mile in open water without an issue on any given day. (Open water being a lake and not like a triathlon where a couple hundred of your closest friends are kicking you in the head.)

There’s one in Pensacola in May. Doable, right?

swim regularly
Untitled 2 weeks ago

I can’t quite count this as done. Yet. I joined the local YMCA and have been swimming a few times. I have a goal to swim a 5k in May. I’ve done about half that in a session and haven’t felt totally wasted, so I think it’s doable.

Be debt free (read all 3 entries…)
Untitled 4 months ago

I still want to do this by 12/2015. I passed the last exam – am waiting on the raise. I still need to get ASA to get the big raise (or EA).

Anyhow… some progress…
Car 12,200
1/2 House 43,300
Student Loan 27,000
Other 3,200

Barely made a dent on the student loan, but the car really should come first since I don’t get favorable tax treatment for the interest.
