I'm doing 40 things
I returned the equipment I still had from Comcast. It lowered my bill to 92 dollars… which I thought was what it already was…but, he explained it to me..

How I did it
It made me
Invigorated 
How I did it: First, I picked a bunch of pieces of art I liked and flagged them into an album. Then I went through those and narrowed it down to 20 pieces.

Bought some nice black cardstock. Taped the pics where I wanted them. Used regular la… Read how I did it…

Exhilarated
How I did it: First, I sat in front of my computer for a week knowing what I wanted to talk about but not being able to come up with a first sentence. Then I wrote 14 pages of timelined history about my topic (my experience with depression), then I narrowed that down to 2-3 pages (double spaced), then I build on that in a forward timeline (healing), etc. After I had my rough essay (weak intro, weaker conclusion, no title, no quotes) I sent … Read how I did it…
