Kris and Lyssa's Great Goal Rush
Follow the completion of our yearly bucket list.
Completed: 2. Take a Craft Class of Lyssa’s Choosing: Learn to Sew When Lyssa told me I had two choices: cake decorating or sewing, I hated life. This was arguably the hardest goal of the year for me. I really hate crafting. The first obstacle was attempting to find a place that would allow me to … Continue reading Take a Craft Class of Lyssa’s Choosing: Learn to Sew
Completed: 28. Have a Signature Dish I consider myself a pretty good chef. I love to experiment in the kitchen, but unfortunately, I've never really had a “signature” dish. Well, ladies and gents, that time has passed. I now have an easy, yet powerful, side dish that will bring life to any dull meal. May I present my … Continue reading Have a Signature Dish

Completed: 18. Eat Caviar I chose to complete this goal at Mari Vanna, a Russian restaurant in D.C. with caviar (of course) and infused vodkas (bonus).

Completed: 1. Learn to Twerk This goal was obviously one that Kris challenged me to tackle. Instead of documenting my actual twerk routine, which I proudly debuted Thanksgiving morning, I decided to film my reaction to the how-to videos I watched to prep me for this goal's completion. You want more details of my dancing? … Continue reading Learn to Twerk
Completed: 21. Complete a Puzzle When I was young, my sister would always complete puzzles. It made me so mad because I knew I didn’t have the patience or attention span to complete one, but there’s a part of me that’s always wanted to say I had. Some say that completing a puzzle makes your … Continue reading Complete a Puzzle
Completed: 13. Read in a Cemetery I didn’t mention it in this blost post, but I was unsuccessful the first time I tried to visit Gerry Bertier's gravesite. It was cold and snowy and I had arrived to the grounds later in the day. The cemetery office was closed and I wasn't going to walk through … Continue reading Read in a Cemetery
