I'm doing 40 things
We don’t have a scale in our dorm, so I have no idea how much I weigh, but since moving to Israel in August I’ve lost at least an inch and a half off my waist.

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I took 15 hours worth of CLEP tests before starting college so I wouldn't have to take basic history courses. My third and fourth semesters, I took 18 hours both semesters, and then the following summer I took 6 hours. All this extra work allowed me to graduate a year early with a degree in history and minor in English. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I went to the National CASA site and found our local CASA organization, and signed up with them for training. They have their own training schedule, or you can do independent training (I opted for the in-house training). It took me so long to complete this goal because I had to wait until I was in a comfortable position to take a case, which didn't happen until several months after I was sworn in. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I waited until the Kindle 2 was announced, and I used my Amazon gift certificates from Christmas to pay for most of it. I also got the leather Kindle jacket to protect it, since I'm so clumsy I know I'll drop it at some point. Read how I did it…

I love all the needle arts, and practice quite a few of them, so when I saw a woman wanting to expand her silk-weaving business, I had to help out:
I woke up this morning suffering an attack of pollen, so I haven’t done any quilting today. I’ll still finish the Navy quilt tonight, but everything else will have to wait til tomorrow.
