About Me

I've been selecting to serve in Americorps in Sacramento, CA. I'll be spending ten months completing projects there as well as in other western states. I'll be updating this blog with all of the fun stuff I'll be doing.

The Week of the List

So as some of you may know, I have a list of things to do before I die that has just over 100 things on it. Well this week I completed 2 of the tasks:
83. Volunteer at a soup kitchen
93. Attempt a restaurant's food challenge
Volunteering at a soup kitchen just happened tonight actually. We had an ISP (independent service project) at the Great Falls Rescue Mission. We started off there serving meals and picking up everyone's trays afterwords. Then we were sent on a few tasks of wiping down walls, mopping, and organizing. Overall it was a good night there. We also had our supervisor visiting today so he hung around to watch us do taxes and we all had a meeting tonight. Luckily the meeting included 3 berry pie and root beer floats!
As for the food challenge....we found a place called the Downtown Dog House. Its a hot dog place that has a wall of fame for all the people who complete the Dogzilla and Holy Cannoli challenge in under 12 minutes. So of course a few members of my team and I had to attempt it. There were 4 of us but only Kyle finished right in time. The hot dog was 13 inches and weighed about 2 pounds with all the toppings on it. And in addition there was the 1/2 pound cannoli.  You can see it for yourself in a few pictures!

This is how far I got in 12 minutes
