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 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... 8 months ago

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. 9 months ago

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... 9 months ago

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