How I did it
How to stop dating online
It took me
5 months
It made me
Not bad!

How I did it: I occasionally went to a music show or bar solo, and was receptive to conversing with new people. It was a little weird, at first, but worked out well in the long run.Also, when invited to go to a party or something like that by one of my more peripheral acquaintances, I always said yes. It was at those parties where I met the most new people, of course!It took me about five months to feel secure in my ability to not resort to online dati… Read how I did it…

How to get a decent job
It took me
2 weeks
It made me

How I did it: I read resume/interview books, fixed up my resume so that it was well-organized, concise, and worthy of an interview. I also made sure to send it to those posting the ads as both a Word document and a PDF. And, I made sure that the e-mail with the attachments was written in the format of a specifically addressed and briefly informative e-mail cover letter.Also, I applied to every job that fit my requirements and which I was qualified to do.

How to commit to a decent skincare regimen
It took me
30 days
It made me
Satisfied!

How I did it: browsing through the beauty section of Barnes and Noble reading skincare tips from the magazines finding a decent daily face wash and using it every night before I go to sleep and when I shower finding a light, natural day moisturizer and using it on my face and nape after I shower lightly dabbing eye cream around my eyes in the morning post-shower finiding a heavier, natural night moisturizer and applying it to my clean face, … Read how I did it…

Give back to my Mom (read all 3 entries…)
One way to give back...

Well, maybe it’s two ways to give back?

I fixed up her resume and helped her to create a cover letter for a position that she was really interested in, which was great. She’s been doing the same job for more than 25 years, and it’s gotten a little old. I’m hoping to help her as she sees positions that look interesting to her.

Also, I am helping her to organize a small side business, which is selling her artwork online. She creates truly interesting sculptural pieces and multimedia Mexican folk-inspired art, which I think is fabulous. I am looking forward to getting her up and running with that, because I know that it will be a hit!

YAY... on my way.

I’ve committed to volunteering at a women’s shelter in Seattle on a weekly/bi-weekly basis. Also, I’ve sent in my other volunteering interests/applications to the Seattle Art Museum and my church. Swell!

get my license
Passed the written exam...

...And now have to reschedule my driving test, since it conflicts with the job that I just got. Bummer, but worth postponing. SWEET!
