I made my postcard, but realized I needed to back it with card stock so it will survive the trip. I love it. It’s something I’ve never said aloud to anyone else, it pays tribute to a loved one, and was very cathartic for me.

How I did it: I pooled all my savings, paychecks, student loans, scholarships, and tax returns, paid my bills for 5 months, budgeted leftover money for weekly allowances and put in my two weeks notice. I also agonized over the decision for months and even as I was leaving my job I felt like I was having a panic attack. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My best friend and I decided we needed to take a vacation. We bought a flight and hotel package on priceline.com for super cheap for the time during fall break at our university. It was awesome. We walked all over that city. We ate great food, had yummy drinks, shopped and browsed to our hearts' content and had a prolonged discussion with the underage barback at our hotel. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I forced myself. I can't keep sleeping all the time whenever I have to always be at work or school. It was never really a conscious effort whenever it finally happened. It just did. Read how I did it…

It’s been so long since we had a good snow here. It’s seriously been 4 or 5 years, but I really think it’s going to happen this year. Hopefully on Christmas!
I actually started writing a story the other day. I like the beginning, but it seems to be dragging now. Plus I’m a little worried about the form. But I’m actually writing. Voluntarily! lol
