How I did it: in the jungles in costa rica, i got a nasty infection in my foot. it was so bad i couldn't really move my foot without extreme pain (and i have a very high pain tolerance.i bought a scalpel, alcohol (it was bright blue and smelled as though it were meant to be drunk, not used for disinfecting wounds), gauze, and tape. i put my foot in the sink, took a swig of rum, and made about thirty incisions all down the top of my foot. i dug around t… Read how I did it…
How I did it: there's something intrinsically calming about wine, friendship, and beautiful surroundings. my best friend and i used to swing by the store, pick up a bottle of reisling, get some brie and water crackers, and head to our favorite hill late at night. we'd overlook the city and be silent together, basking in the enormity of the universe and the simplicity of our togetherness.it's a good ritual. definitely worth doing at least once. Read how I did it…
How I did it: boyfriend + rain + kiss = amazing experience. it was in a parking lot at the mall, but no one was there, and he just grabbed me and hooked an arm around my neck, and kissed me. Read how I did it…
The justice system:
“A court is a judge and somebody who says, ‘He took my things!’
And somebody else says, ‘Nooo, he took MY things!’
And the judge says, ‘Ooohkay, stop arguing and I’m gonna show you how to play golf.’”
Wow… I laughed so hard when my son said that…I have no idea where he got that from, but if that’s really how things worked, I bet we’d have fewer problems in our country. “You are guilty. Choose between community service and a golf lesson with His Honor.”
I just gritted my teeth, pulled out 90% of my meager savings, and paid off in its entirety the first of three student loans!!
My bank account is pained by this development, so I am not quite to the point where I think it’s worthwhile, but I am glad that it is finally taken care of, and I only have two more to go.
Cross-country road trip!
I’ve always thought I was a fairly fearless individual, and in the little things, I am: spiders and mice elicit nary a gasp from me, the dark is a welcome friend, and I’ve even conquered my Southern California reservations about driving in the rain.
But in the big things, I am petrified. As I get older, I see just how many things I live my life avoiding: trying new kinds of food, relationships and commitments, doing things I’ve never done before, looking foolish in front of others, letting people in (what if I get hurt?)... It sucks, because living fearfully is the opposite of living freely. So I have decided. I am doing something daring.
My sister and I are taking a week-long road trip accross the United States.
With three-year-old twins in the car.
Destination: Washington, D.C., where I will live for a month.
(Yay for jobs in education and summer vacations for adults!)
Yes.
That’s a lot of chances to take all at once, and yes, there is trepidation. But I really believe I can do it! I’ve already started planning, and it looks like the driving alone will take six days. We’ll start here in San Diego and stop in San Antonio, Houston, New Orleans, Pensacola, Nashville, and DC. The return route has yet to take shape, but I think we’ll go a different way, maybe through the more northern states.
I am ecstatic. This goal is becoming a reality.
