the adult take on bobbing for apples is what?....

Sticking your head in a bucket of ice water full of miniature bottles of alcohol. Who thinks this is a good idea? I'm not quite sure and yet, this has been on my list of things to do for longer than I remember. Last weekend I actually participated in it. While going through my "bucket list" as people love to call it, I came across it...well here I am

that's me participating instead of just watching,



Achievement Gained!! One more thing to mark off the list! :) Miniature bottles of alcohol yay!

Volunteer my time..

I always seem to volunteer my time but never to anything I feel has meaning. This week I'm going to be donating my time at work with the salvation army doing activities and helping feed children while Target lets them go shopping, on them. I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes and if this feels like I actually volunteered my time.

It seemed that this time my volunteer work made me feel more like a babysitter than anything else. Maybe next time

so...why not try?

For the longest time I've wanted to try to draw a self portrait, however, due to my lack of skill I've always "put it off, until I can do better", there is no doing better so why not start off now..the photo I have chosen is this one

I'm not quite sure I can pull this off but damn it I wanna try so here goes my attempt at drawing myself...

so the process starts, not looking so great so far but i guess it could be worste
i seem to have lost this so this shall be my self portrait. hmm, wonderful

and it's banjos and bluegrass for you my friend....

I did it, I backed out about twenty times and changed my mind and ended up moving and yet I still took off work and went to the woody Guthrie folk music festival this year just to say I have, and I must say that I will probably go again.
I met several great people there, and listened to some very talented musicians. Had songs personally sang to me, and camped with a band that "can't find our damn Indian." all in all it was great fun.
the partying at the campsite with all the musicians and later the partying in the hotel. Meeting several people with "fiddles" instead of violins was a nice change.
Later, I shall post more for now I'll just add photos

Ramen Noodles for a week....

Once upon a time, I realized I'm not a huge fan of ramen noodles. So I decided to see if I could live a week off of them. I know, I know, why do this to yourself "it's unhealthy'; "you will get sick of them". maybe so, however I put it on my list of a million things to do, and now that I got an apartment with a hermit roommate, Spur of the moment and being broke. I have decided that next week will be the perfect time to try this week long ramen binge. Only thanks to the world wide web there are now Ramen recipes to try so I don't completely lose all my nutrition I'm going to start my week long meal plan of the cheapest food ever.

Since we are just moving I know I'll have to buy everything on this list. Hopefully I can keep it under $50.
