Pizza Party
The last time I blogged about completing my "enter a food competition" goal, I was trying to decide which competition to enter. Well, party people, I've made a serious life decision.

Take a Pottery Class
I found this fantastic pottery studio in Adams Morgan in D.C. - Hinkley Pottery - that offers an opportunity to take a "Try It" class, which is exactly what it sounds like. No need to buy supplies. No need to sign up for the next two months. It's a two and half hour class perfect … Continue reading Take a Pottery Class

Meet President Obama
Completed #21. Meet President Obama I know. It's ridiculous. I honestly didn't think this one was going to be feasible. A few weeks ago I was offered a chance to work at an event. The only detail I knew was that President Obama would be there. I accepted, of course. I didn't even know what … Continue reading Meet President Obama
