82. Be part of a murder mystery game

A couple of my friends get together every year and play out a murder mystery game. Whenever the day is set, I always end up having to miss it for various reasons. But not this year, this year I finally got to take part in the murder mystery...and it was so much fun! I didn't really know what was involved in playing one of the games but it seemed really straight forward and once we got started everyone got in to their character's persona and the game took life. I would definately play again...and it helps to play with the right people too.

41. Be vegetarian for one month

I did it. It took a lot of determination, but I was able to go for an entire month without eating meat, which for me is a very big deal because I love meat. For almost the entire month of October, and the end of September not a single piece of meat entered my body, I am quite proud of myself for accomplishing this on my list, as I have tried to be vegetarian before and failed miserably within one week. My parents refused to help me, so I was forced to make all my food myself and I actually really enjoyed it. There is something relaxing about cooking in a way, and I was able to make some dishes that were delicious. Even things like lasagna, that are traditionally made with meat, I made with peppers and other vegetables instead. Although I had to skip out on the turkey dinner this year for Thanksgiving I didn't really mind, after the first week I didn't even find myself thinking about chicken or beef, and it got easier day by day. Until the last week, that was when I started couting down the days I had left until I could eat meat again, which was a very poor decision on my part.
But I managed to succeed and I am very proud. I might even take a break from meat again it was refreshing to have more vegetables, in a way I felt like I had more energy and I felt as if I was eating healthier.
