How I did it
How to start a scrapbook for my son
It took me
2 years
It made me
Happy!

How I did it: When I first created this goal, I envisions a paper and pen type of scrapbook. But I now realize that his scrapbook as really become an electronic blog that I have been keeping since he was born. It's a blog I type posts about parenting issues we have faced.....funny and cute sayings that he made that day......and general discussions about our life. It has really been a great experience, and one that I plan on keeping going forever. My mo… Read how I did it…

How to buy an investment property
It took me
3 years
It made me
A little anxious.

How I did it: In 2005 my husband and I purchased a townhome, with an interest-only 5/6 ARM. Well, we should have known better to take that sort of loan, but we were in it, too, to make money, thinking it would be perfect to sell at the end of the the ARM and make a killing.

How to go indoor skydiving
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: I just happened drive by a place in Canada that was offering indoor skydiving, and was like, "No matter what it costs, we are DOING it!" It was myself, my husband, and his cousin. Luckily, the place was deserted for the time of day we were there, so we didn't have to wait. They start you off with a short video and some instruction on how to hold your body in the tunnel.

grow my nails
Weak nails 10 months ago

This morning on the shuttle I looked at my nails and realized that I want them long, strong, and attractive. It’s not that they are UNattractive, but there’s nothing like having long, sexy nails.

Take a CPR class
Take a CPR class 10 months ago

This was on my 2008 Resolutions list, but I’m not passing it forward to 2009. What a relief it will be to know how to perform CPR in the event that someone I love is in trouble.

Grow my hair as long as possible
Bye-bye, split ends 10 months ago

Hmmm….so funny I should see this goal and want to adopt it for my own. Just yesterday I was thinking about all the split ends I have, and how it hurts my hair’s growth. Okay, I’m done with cutting. I will get a trim, and make sure I wrap my hair each night because I believe the rubbing of my hair on the pillow splits my ends.
