laser hair removal (check it out at least)
I think I'm in! 1 day ago

I went to a consultation today, and I think I’m going to do it. For folks in the Raleigh, NC area – I’d recommend checking out the Blue Water Spa. I can’t attest to the quality of their service (though they do get great reviews online), but I can say they have an impressive record with community service. Every month they run a special that encourages involvement in the community (local on up). For example, in November everyone who joins the National Bone Marrow Registry gets 50% off all skin care treatments and laser services. That’s significant! They’ve also been running a food drive for a while – $50 off laser treatments if you bring in 10 cans of food.



quit sugar for a month (read all 3 entries…)
and again 1 week ago

I’m planning on accomplishing 10 goals within the next month (some will take a full month) – like this goal which, I think, has been up since I joined the 43things community.

Sometimes a little intensity is what I need. I most need to focus on ditching television and my studies (and getting through at least one more book). I’d like a simpler list. And knocking out goals gives me the warm fuzzies.



ditch TV, with a few exceptions (read all 2 entries…)
fail 1 week ago

This goal is constitutes one of my most constant failures. I’ll start small: no TV for a week, starting today.

In other news: this weekend has been my most affective stab at procrastination to date. It started off great – we went out with friends one night, took the pups to a dog park the next day, I ran recycling errands… But the weekend ended with me completely wasting hours and hours I should’ve spent studying, leaving me feeling like the proverbial shite.

Anyway. No point in dwelling. The next two weeks will be intensely busy with exams and a trip to New Orleans crammed in the middle of it all. So, focusing on my no TV goal couldn’t come at a better time.
