I'm doing 20 things
  

How I did it
How to save up and buy a handheld Video Camera
It took me
1 day
It made me
happy!

How I did it: I got on Woot one day and they had the Flip camera for sale for 59.99.  It was refurbished and not in HD, so I hesitated and then decided it was not a good buy.  SO GLAD I DIDN'T BUY IT!  A couple days later, the Kodak Zi6 was for sale on woot for the same price, refurbished, BUT it WAS HD!!  Not only that, but Flip can only record 60 minutes of video and the Zi6 can take up to a 32GB memory card which is like 10 hours… Read how I did it…

How to read How To Live Well Without Owning A Car
It took me
5 days
It made me
feel challenged!

How I did it: I bought this book and I read it when the lease on my car was coming due.  It made me realize that living within two miles of everywhere I usually go does not constitute needing a car.  Sure it would be different circumstances for everyone, but I'm the perfect candidate so I jumped right into this challenge.  I hope I can show others how this can be a good decision for them too!  Save money and save the planet!

It took me
1 day
It made me
proud!

How I did it: I had already trained for the half marathon so i was ready to run the Race the following weekend.  I registered with my work because they were already starting a team.  It was great to see the survivors come out!  Finished in 31 minutes! Read how I did it…

start running again
Marci 2 weeks ago

Marci is a good friend of mine that has motivated me to start running again. She needed a running partner and I know I need one if I am going to get back into it. We did our first run together a couple Saturdays ago and then again last Tuesday morning. I have been logging my miles on dailymile.com which has been a really motivating site to turn to.

We should running together tonight since our yoga class got cancelled. Plus, it is beautiful outside!

8/50 -- Living A Charmed Life 2 months ago

Victoria Moran does an amazing job of taking what everyone already has and spinning into what you need to live a great life, no matter how many negatives. This has really inspired me to make small changes in my everyday so that I can make a big change for the better in my life. Loved it! A+

Thurs. August 13, 2009 2 months ago

Today it makes me happy that:

a) We are going to Lake Erie this weekend! Can’t wait! We might even head to Put-In-Bay! That will be my first time there!

and b) Thanks to a new book, I have started a Serendipity Log. It’s kinda similar to this goal, but it’s more like appreciating the small things more often in a day. I decided to change it up a bit and put it on my twitter instead of in a journal. So if anyone searches on Twitter for @schmittastic #serendipitylog you will see my entries! Super exciting!
