60 Day Challenge: Day 12: In this past month, what have you learned?

I've learned that you can't trust everyone. The ones you do trust are the ones you're most likely to take for granted.

Relationships take work and even when they do work, you continue to search for ways to make them better. That's what makes us grow and not go insane.

I've learned that bachata is the new reggaeton...and sometimes things just sound better in Spanish.

And finally, I've learned that it's time for me to upgrade to Burberry from Coach. I'm not a kid anymore.

60 Day Challenge: Day 11: Somewhere to go before you die.

Where do I start?

I still haven't been to Disneyland or Disney World, so I think that would be a great start...

And I've said time after time that I'd love to go to the 7 Wonders of the Modern World before I die...
The Great Wall of China
Petra
Christ Redeember
Machu Picchu
Chichen Itza
The Coliseum
Taj Mahal

So let's see how long it takes before I hit all of those places.

60 Day Challenge Day 10: Songs you listen to when you’re upset.

Music is by far the best medicine when you're feeling Down. There's just something special about being able to Lose Yourself in the beats or in the sweet voice of your favorite artist.When I've had one of those Bad Days where all I want is someone to Stand By Me, I can put on my headphones and the music effortlessly says "I'll Stand by You."  Of course there are a few tunes I'm not sure I'll like as much tomorrow (will I still be making up my own dances to Jai Ho 10 years from now?) because not Everything can be a classic. Regardless, there's just something about music that can turn a bad day into one of the Best Days.

I think this was a pretty clever post what could have been an ordinary list, but I may just need someone to Humble Me. I can't help it...that's just The Way I Am.

60 Day Challenge: Day 9: Talk about something that confuses you.

Top 5 Things that Confuse Me:

5. Why is it ok for someone to come up to me and tell me "You're so skinny" but it's not ok for me to go up to someone and say "You're so fat."

4. Trashbags--why do people buy trashbags when you can reuse plastic grocery bags for free?

3. Why do people wear their shoes at home but take them off in public places? Your home is supposed to be clean. You don't know what kinds of germs are hanging around in the gym, the club, the sidewalk...Put your shoes on!

2.WHY do people purposely use poor grammar? I'm looking at you, residents of Southern states...Why in the world would you say about your baby, "Hims is so cute today!" Hims is also on the road to make a 200 on his SAT.

1. In reference to relationships, why don't we just stick to checking yes or no on a "Do you like me" note passed from a boy to a girl (or vice versa)? When did all the coy game-playing come around? And WHY? Relationships used to be much easier as kids...why complicate them as adults?

60 Day Challenge: Day 8: Short term goals for this month and why

For me, goals are always easy to set but a challenge to complete. There have been so many times when I've made a to-do list that just sits with only half of the things checked off, but here are 5 that I think I can accomplish by the end of the month:

1. Read three books
2. Buy a meal for a stranger.
3. Figure out what I want to do for the Christmas holiday
4. Buy and send 3 "just because" cards via postal mail
5. Get a haircut!

Hold me accountable!
