How to visit Chicago
It took me
7 days
It made me
Happy!

How I did it: I stayed with my friend Kristi's family. They grew up in the Chicago and were able to take me around and show me the area. It is wonderful to be see a city with the help of natives, who show you details you would not know on your own.  Read how I did it…

become a vegan (read all 2 entries…)
I began today. 9 months ago

i began trying the vegan thing out today. I am going to try to do it for a month and see how it goes.

today is January 16th, 2009…so let’s see how I am feeling on February 16th.

so far so good :) I ate oatmeal for breakfast, a veggie burrito for lunch with corn, black beans, red onion, salsa, etc…, and for dinner i am going to have sushi (california rolls and such!). I also had a snack of strawberries. Lovely :D
