Living Well on Next to Nothing, In Cleveland

My first blog post!

Three years ago, at age 25 - (quarter-life crisis)  I started writing down a goal list - a list of my life’s largest and smallest aspirations.  And though I’ve accomplished some, I realized that I’m a gal who stopped living her life to her full potential. 

A few things i’ve accomplished:

  • Participated in a Police Class
  • Started a garden (Two years now!)
  • Purchased an ongoing stockpile of greeting cards ready for all occasions
  • Went to NYC
  • Shot at a gunrange
  • Stained my 1950’s white particle board bedframe a beautiful black
  • Started Recycling
  • Visted Alacatraz
  • Went to Napa Valley
  • Milked a Cow
  • Was an extra in a Movie (Yeah 25 Hill)
  • Started carrying mini liquor bottles in my purse
  • Went on an Amish Buggy Ride
  • Attended a Lesbian Wedding

I thought documenting my daily activities might get me back on track and keep me focused on accomplishing this ongoing list ………… some of which are as follows:

  • Learn Rhythm so I can dance
  • Be in a commercial
  • Learn how to cook better to so I’m not afraid of eating raw or undercooked meat
  • Hit up all 50 states
  • Learn how to use my electrolysis machine
  • Finish reading Suzzie Orman’s Young Fabulous & Broke
  • Take a cruise
  • Attend a Nudist colony (Stumpled upon one in Indiana but it was December and everyone was clothed - what a disappointment)  
  • Ride a Mechanical Bull
  • Pan for Gold
  • Rally at an execution
  • Work to free a wrongly convicted felon
  • Be a contestant on a game show

So my hope, my goal, is that this little blog will serve not only as a motivator, but will also be an avenue for me to express thoughts, interests and shopping secrets!  I’m really cheap.  

More to come….
