Ciao il mio nome è Carri….how’s that for Italian immersion? Pretty good si?
Once I realized (after approximately 15 minutes) that the CD set I borrowed from the public library was advanced Italian immersion I quickly stopped feeling totally stupid and traded it in for the basic beginner Italian. As you can see, this is definitely going to be a process.
But, alas, this post is not about the Italian language lessons. I will keep you posted on that subject as it unfolds. I know you’re on the edge of your seat.
In my quest to find things to challenge myself with, I have turned to friends, family, and the internet for ideas.
I came to realize that my daily groupon email might just be the ticket. What is Groupon you ask?
Groupon is a website that advertises discounts with popular businesses. I get a daily email with the most recent deals and one would assume that it could provide me with lots of opportunity to try new things.
Here is what Groupon has offered recently:
~Mattox Circus Company is offering a Flying Trapeze Class.
~Spa in London is offering a brazillian wax complete with vajazzling! Say what???
~Round One Boxing is offering adult boxing classes.
~Lots of travel opportunities.
On second thought, Groupon might not be the best place to get ideas…although the trapeze thing sounds like fun. The vajazzling…not so much. I mean, if you have no one to appreciate a good vajazzle, why spend the time and money? I would think that you would save vajazzling for events like Christmas or St. Patrick's Day. Yes, vajazzling is exactly what you are thinking it is. I am not making this up…go ahead and google it.
Here are some ideas that have been suggested that some well meaning people have offered:
Go on a wine tour, learn to change a tire, take a cooking class, splurge on a frivolous item, attend a wedding dateless, ride a rollercoaster (they terrify me), learn ballroom dancing, learn pole dancing, go out for dinner alone (not fast food), take the kids camping (I am so not outdoorsy), participate in a home reno class, go on a weekend road trip with no destination alone, learn a new language, start running again (if there were a bear chasing me maybe), post an online dating profile with real information and picture, go on a blind date.
Comments, suggestions and ideas are always welcome, may not necessarily be used, but welcome just the same. I know I have some pretty sick and twisted friends out there who would love nothing more than to suggest I do something ludacris, like join a gym.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the love! Keep reading and keep sharing the facebook page!
