do something new once a month

I tried out and joined the Roller Derby! How’s that for new, eh?!

I LOVE THE ROLLER DERBY!!!!!

May:

- Went to a Thai Restaraunt…I’ve never actually tried Thai food that I haven’t made myself. I must say it was pretty tasty.

June:

- I went on a cruise for the first time EVER!

On that cruise I tried more new things:

- Swam/Discovered in/with Coral Reef in Belize.
- Haggled in Cozumel.
- Tried Ahi Tuna Sushi. (and loved it)
- Tried Eel. (and loved it)
- Had a monkey on my head and macaws on my shoulders at Gumbalima Park in Honduras. (and loved it and can’t wait to do it again)
- Got sand flea bites at the beach in Honduras!
- Walked across a wooden 40 foot bridge that was 40-50 feet above water in Honduras.
- GOT A TAN!

I fell back on this! I can’t remember February…

March?

- played hooky from work and went to the brewery with my husband (we’ve never been together) and tried a Shock Top Ale (which I’ve never tried before! and it was delicious!)

April (so far)?

- I had to get a personal loan. :( (it’s not fun, it sucked ass to go through…and it’s already gone sigh)

- TAXES on my own. Weird.

- Did 400 crunches in a night (let’s see if I can a. keep this up, b. do more than that!)

- looked at the stars with my binoculars from my 3rd story porch (it was awesome!)

- tried Lindeman’s Framboise ON TAP at Cicero’s (holy CRAP! IT’S AMAZING!)

- played Zuma on XBox 360 (as well as Pac-Man, Uno and Bejweled 2…it’s weird)

getting married? I think that’s a good one.

Oh, and we moved in. Only this time it’s just the two of us and our cat and it’s near my parent’s house…not 550 miles away.

I had a bridal shower and I wasn’t expecting one or anything. It was great fun and completely and totally new to me. Also, I’ve never actually been to one, at least not that I can remember. So, there’s that.

Also, I’m going out tomorrow: Black (freaking) Friday to buy only two gifts that total up to around $500…the most I’ve ever spent on…anyone. Damn!

I’m going to do a body cleanse and I’m kind of nervous. Fingers crossed!

- Ate at a Japanese Steakhouse. I had a bento box lunch which consisted of (THE BEST) Miso Soup (I EVER HAD), chicken teryaki, white rice, california roll sushi, salad with ginger dressing and three egg dumplings. Easily one of the best put together meals I’ve had in the history of my life. And it totally filled me up. YUM!!!!

- Went out and randomly bought a brand new iPod for no reason whatsoever.

- Used my credit card…AND made the payments on it even though I didn’t have to! I’m extremely proud of myself.

- Went to Potosi, MO. What a horrid experience. While it was new it is also something I don’t ever want to have to do again. Sorry, I’m just a city girl, that’s all.

- Tried Pringles Extreme “Screamin’ Dill Pickle” flavor. DELICIOUS!

- Tried the newest Propel flavor: Raspberry Lemonade. So good it doesn’t even taste like water…mmmmmmmmmmmm.

I tried a deep fried twinkie at the St. Louis County Fair and Air show! Wow!

Not to mention I also tried a Neopolitan Funnel Cake.

Two things I’ve never tried before and to make it even better? It was on the FIRST DAY of the month!
