10 Scares, 100 Discoveries: Scare 1 – My Place
Of course, I would start my project with something not on the list 
Originally, I was going to categorize tonight under “10 Experiences,” but then I decided it could be a category all its own – 10 Moments that Scare Me.
Yes, this post is part of 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries. You can see the others here. Enjoy the experiences, because I sure am!
I love the quote, “do something everyday that scares you.” It’s actually a magnet on my refrigerator. So, here I am. I’m doing 10 things that scare the crap out of me that I’ve never done before.
As you know, I have a lot of rules. One rule involves who comes over to my place. So, tonight, I broke 99% of my #1 rule and soberly invited a boy to come cook, have dinner and hang out at my apartment. To the average Joe? No big deal. To me? Well, let’s just say it took 24 hours to work up the courage to say my place vs. yours. And then, it took the rest of the day, breathing deeply, counting to 10 and trying not to hyperventilate to be okay with the decision. I told myself it was for the project. I told myself, Go Big or Go Home.
The result? A bit nerve racking. Okay, a lot nerve racking. But, it was fun as hell. Granted, I took some precautions. I kept all the bedroom doors closed. I didn’t give a tour of the space like a good hostess should. I didn’t let either one of us fall asleep. And the end of the night? Well, that was still the scariest part of all. But, I made it to the end of the ride, got off unscathed and decided it wasn’t as terrifying as I thought.
To be honest, I’m not sure if I’d willingly do it again, but I’m getting closer. Next step? Inviting a boy into the bedroom… can you hear the Alfred Hitchcock music? I can
