I'm doing 35 things
To something like do five things everyday towards my goals on my list. Or something in that vein. Maybe I’ll take five goals from my list and set firm deadlines for them and if I manage to keep them, I’ll do another five, and another five until it’s no longer an issue. So the first Five…
Revamp and recommit to this list, sew a skirt, Legally change my name, turn my spare room into a kickass creative space AND…identify 100 things that make me happy.
Those are probably among the easiest goals on my list, but I’ve let some of them drag on for a while.

It made me 
How I did it: I found an awesome deal on airfare to Rome, Italy. And while I was hoping to have someone to travel with me, no one could. SO, I decided to fly solo. After narrowing down my travel times I looked at the costs for hotels and bed and breakfasts during that time period as well as the temperatures in Italy for that time. Once I figured that out, I looked at some websites to get an idea of what I wanted to check out (I mean besides all the obv… Read how I did it…

Since I had been looking forward to it for a while I made myself get ready and out the door. Very glad I did as it was a great time getting to know my fellow 43thingers a bit better.

It made me
intrigued
How I did it: One of my friends sent me a posting calling for extras for the Dark Knight movie when it was filming in Chicago. She and I both volunteered through a nonprofit which meant our pay would go to the nonprofit. We were cast for an outdoor crowd scene.
