With everything in life, you have to put effort into the things you love. There are so many animals waiting to be adopted from the shelters and pounds and normally your first doctor visit(s) and most shots are covered with the fee that is charged to adopt your new family members. All animals are an investment but I felt rather than buy one out of the newspaper from someone who may not know anything about dogs and dog health, I would adopt one from a shelter that allows you to ask any questions you have and/or bring your dog back if for some reason you weren’t ready for the commitment and/or if god forbid your animal gets sick within a few weeks. The shelters really care and want you to be the best parent/owner/friend/buddy for the animals they have, but again it is a commitment…a commitment to love. And look at what I got…

How I did it: This is an ongoing goal so I'll be doing it quite a bit. I just got in my car and drove into the mountains in Washingston state. Washington is a beautiful state from the parts I saw while I was up there. It's perfect for those with an active lifestyle. Plus, the environment is sooooo beautiful and one can really see what this Earth has to offer just by stepping outside, especially in Washington. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My sister and I drove from Seattle Washington to California on our way home to Oklahoma. We stopped in San Francisco, saw the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Muir Woods, and a few other things. Read how I did it…
How I did it: A couple of my friends and I researched items we'd like to have tattoed on our bodies. I mean....they're pretty permanent although you can get them lasered off, but I digress...we found a few primaries and then a few secondary things we'd get tattoed just in case we were turned down on some things (which I was turned down on my primary tattoo idea because it was too time consuming for the tattoo artist). We looked online for local tattoo … Read how I did it…

I signed up for livemocha.com and it’s really great. I’m glad most of units are free…unlike rosetta stone.
