Kris and Lyssa's Great Goal Rush
Follow the completion of our yearly bucket list.
UPDATE on #nomakeup: On Monday, I decided to not wear mascara, one of the two makeup products I've never gone to work without. When not worn, it's pretty obvious. Many of my coworkers, who knew about my makeup-free plans, came up to me and asked, "is today the day?!?!" "Nope, I still have concealer on," … Continue reading Addicted to Makeup
It's that time of year when I must take a look at my 2013 goals and come to grips with the fact that I won't be able to complete a number of them by 12/31/13. It's a great exercise in learning to accept personal failure. Goal #1: Finish writing the book I’ve had in mind … Continue reading 2013 Fail List
January..Done. February..Done. ......and that was about it lol. I love having them done but I didn't have enough time to do it every month. At the end of the day I could've but I didn't want to EVERY SINGLE month. Goals change...plans change. It shouldn't feel like a chore and this winded up feeling like … Continue reading Get a Pedicure/Manicure a month
Goal#19 This was actually really easy. I thought 200 was a huge number and I would struggle to reach this. Not the case at all. I was beat this goal in April. I'm currently a little under 700 miles for the year and that's without adding up exercises such as basketball games, pick up games … Continue reading Exercise over 200 miles
Completed: 16. Successfully fly a kite with the Washington Monument in the background And of course I chose to fly a Green Bay kite... We woke up early and made our way to DC. Not a single person near the monument. It was perfectly windy and I got the kite up a few times. Unfortunately, … Continue reading Fly a Kite in DC
WWE Headquarters This is my Mecca. If you know anything about me you know my love for the WWE. It's far greater than my love for the packers. I fell in love when I was five and as the years go on my love grows stronger and stronger. I know it sounds like I'm talking … Continue reading A Visit to WWE Headquarters!!
The Hilarious Video! Ever since I was little I found myself curious about smelling salts. I used to think they were a "mystical" powder that could bring people back from the dead. So at the beginning of the year I decided I wanted this to be a goal. This embarrassing yet hilarious video shows my … Continue reading Try Smelling Salts
In case you didn't know, one of Motown's finest (if not just plain finest) was born and raised in Washington, D.C. Also, in case you didn't know, I have a slight obsession with Marvin Gaye, mainly because he was 1. talented, 2. studly, and 3. a little bit tortured. During yesterday's goal mission, we passed … Continue reading Visit Marvin Gaye’s DC House
7834904309843095384th reason why living near DC is the best. President Lincoln spent a quarter of his presidency at this cottage as a getaway, yet somehow I had no idea this house existed until about a year ago. What I learned/experienced: Arlington Cemetery was built after the cemetery on this ground got too crowded It's located on … Continue reading President Lincoln’s Cottage
When I let Kris know there was an upcoming Hands-on DC volunteer opportunity and reminded him that my goal included him joining me (I typically volunteer solo), he gave me severe ocular stinkitis (aka the stink eye). It's not like he doesn't like helping others -- he was just annoyed that one of MY goals … Continue reading Hands-On DC Beautification Day
