I’m bold
I’m bold! With a sledge hammer in one hand and a coffee in the other, I take on home improvement projects as though I know what I’m doing!
I’m BOLD! I bought a 50 yr. old house I had only seen in pictures and not in person! We’ve lived in it for 7yrs now and love it!
I’M BOLD!!!…..Bold enough to go ahead and let you know that since you’ll be needing a new rug for that gorgeous monster Karl, you can roll the existing pretty yellow ruggy rug up and ship it straight to my front door. Thank you kindly. Love you guys…..my one last final attempt at winning….which is something I love to do.
I’m Bold!
I went hang gliding once, and also we finally decided to redo our master bath. This is bold for us because our wedding is in 2.5 months.

Because I left my ex when everyone kept telling me they were worried about me and I found found my soul mate!

Bold? Actually not a very descriptive word for me…boldest move is probably running down a baggage claim belt underground to grab my suitcase that I could see, but no one would put on the conveyer belt to be delivered! (The belt wasn’t moving.)

I’M BOLD!
My husband had to do research for his job and off we went to France to live in Paris for six months with our new born son. Did I speak the language or know a single soul there? Nope. Most days it was just me and baby wandering around Paris, but the French are remarkably friendly when you have a baby attached!
“I’M BOLD!” Well, I don’t feel all that bold. Once I quit my job and moved to New Zealand, but a lot of planning went into that so I’m not sure it falls under the bold category. :)
I’M BOLD! I packed up a uhaul and moved to a city I’ve never been to with no job or plans.
I’m bold!
Bold….nothing too interesting, I painted a HUGE wall in my house Orange!
I’m Bold! I actually did go skydiving…over the mexico/CA border. Beautiful and not ask scary as it sounds!
I’M BOLD…i signed up for my first marathon on a whim and ran it 3 months ago (on Halloween…does that make me more bold?)
I’M BOLD! I take my dogs to work with me each day- pushing the boundaries of what we consider human/animal relationships and changing minds of those who come in afraid of dogs! =0)
I’M BOLD!
I went bungee jumping once!
I am bold!! The homebody that I am, I went on a 3 month expedition to the outback of Australia! No contact with my family! Now I live 10 minutes from them!
I’M BOLD!
I painted my living room a bright teal/aqua color. As in, not just an accent wall. :)
I’m BOLD!
Well.. not really.. but I aspire to be bold!
I’M BOLD!
I wore yellow shoes to my wedding :)
I’M BOLD!!!
I’M BOLD! But not in big doses … I did just paint my bathroom “flaming torch” orange and one of these prints would be just the thing to give that room some pop!
I’m Bold!
My now husband and I went on a “cave tour” in The Dominican Republic. My husband, who speaks Spanish (our tour guides didn’t know that) overheard them talking the whole way about if there would be too much water in the cave to get through. Suffice to say we actually had to SWIM through one part of the cave. With big rubber boots on.
Suffice to say we didn’t know quite what we had gotten in to when we signed up, but we left with a great story to tell!
I’m BOLD!!
I have a one year old toddler that started walking, and yesterday I ACTUALLY thought about having another one soon! lol
I’M BOLD! i’m really not that bold, but the boldest thing i’ve done recently was to start my own blog! i know it’s nothing extreme, but it sure feels bold to me to put myself out there every day – even just to a few readers!
I’M BOLD!
I play roller derby, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done :D
I’m BOLD!

I’m Bold! after a month of knowing my now husband I told him I was going to marry him someday . He said he knew it and 3 months later we were married. Crazy? Yes. Best decision of my life? Definitely.
I’M BOLD!
I’m planning a trip to Morocco and, coincidentally, Barcelona! (I’m from North America.)
I’m bold – well, sort of
The boldest thing I’ve done was to get married. Looking back it didn’t seem like much of a decision. 20 yrs into it takes a lot of guts to make a forever promise.
I’M BOLD!
Boldest thing I’ve ever done- conquer my fear of flying!
I’M BOLD!
A few bold things I’ve done is chop off 18 inches of my hair to donate to locks for love, paint my first newlywed kitchen bright turquoise (like blinding – it was bad), and getting married at 19. I think I only regret the turquoise, but then again, it was fun and lesson to be learned. :]
I’M BOLD! Though this would help me be a little bolder in my decor:)

I just had acupuncture for the first time day even though I’m terrified of needles!
