I'm doing 30 things
Ok, I really think I am going to open an IRA now. I am armed and ready with my (unexpectedly large) federal tax return check! It is the perfect amount for starting an account.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but…Thanks IRS! I kind of love you!

How I did it
It made me
meh 
How I did it: I was really hoping this book would give me a good foundation in CSS, but it was so painfully outdated that literally half of what was in the chapter is now completely obsolete. It was published in 1998, and CSS has undergone many revisions since. Read how I did it…
It made me
hyper from the sugar 
How I did it: I was in mineapolis visiting family and I realized they had orange Julius stores in their malls. I went to Mall of America with my friend we we sat and had Orange Julius drinks together. Yum! Fun! I took a photo for proof. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Check out this picture. That is my actual roast duck!First I had to find a place that sold duck -- bigger grocery stores have them with the turkeys and geese and stuff. I learned that you could also buy quail at grocery stores during this experience! Next you have to find a recipe you want to use. Then you defrost the thing in your fridge, then you cook it with the recipe. Then you rip it apart with a friend :-) mmm! Read how I did it…

I’m going to create a series of small, attainable goals related to this one. Learning a computer language is a process, so I’ll just have to eventually decide one day that I have “learned CSS” and mark this goal as complete. In the meantime, I’m adding small steps towards attaining this goal as goals :-)
I checked out two books from the library about CSS and have started to work my way through one of them today. It’s a really cool language. I like how it gives you more control over how your web page looks! I mean no wonder my web pages look so old-fashioned. CSS is the way to go if you want to have a nice presentation on the web. I’m happ I am learning this!
