I'm doing 30 things
I still swear. It’s not as bad as it was, but now there are several sets of little ears picking up on every syllable that falls from my lips. It’s amazing how fast your language gets cleaned up when a tiny someone repeats it.

How I did it
It made me
happy! 
How I did it: I started reading these books with my husband, and fell in love with them. They're hard to put down once you get into them. It took a lot of work to find the third book of the series, but we finally did. Read how I did it…
It made me
a happy momma!
How I did it: When our little one was born, life got much more chaotic and unorganized. It's impossible to be ready, out the door, and on time for work if I don't get up when the alarm goes off (or when baby decides we're up for the day). I don't get to sleep in anymore, but the trade off is amazingly worth it. Read how I did it…
It made me
ecstatic!
How I did it: I'm 24 now, and I haven't eaten meat since I was about seven years old. I think that was right around when I figured out what meat was and I couldn't see a big difference between my dog and cows (I mean a big enough difference to justify eating one and not the other). The health benefits are astounding, as is the (lack of an) impact I know I'm making on the planet. I'm so proud to say that I'm a vegetarian. Read how I did it…

I feel good. I haven’t needed medication in over 3 years. I’m really saying this is not an issue now. Will it rear it’s ugly, tormenting head in the future? Perhaps. But for now, it’s as “beat” as it’s going to get, and that’s a great thing.
I’m a little more than half through The Girl Who Played With Fire. My husband bought The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and said he wanted to read it together, which we’ve never done, because he’s not a huge reader. However, we did a pretty job of sharing and it was fun to talk about the plot with him, so when we both finished it, I bought the second one and we’re making our way through it. The first one took a bit for me to get into, as I was intimidated by the length, but it was worth wading through the first 100 or so pages to get to the good stuff. Now I think I absolutely have to read The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest.
