I'm doing 33 things
It all started when trying to pick a quote for my high school yearbook senior year. I could not pick just one quote I liked… so I started to compile the few that I had at that point. Ever since, I (sometimes obsessively) horde quotes that I love – wherever they come from and record them in a blank journal. I now have 3+ journals filled. I have also created an electronic version and, arguably, could continue with JUST this version, but there’s something necessary to me in the hand-written step. At first, I did not keep track of the quote sources, but righted myself there fairly quickly and have gone back to research as many pre-recorded quote sources as possible. My quote collection is one of my most prized possessions and I love any excuse to go on a search for the perfect quote for any given situation. This is absolutely worth doing!

I am doing suprisingly well with all the sales that have been going on lately. I have not purchased a DVD (for myself) since Black Friday and even then, it was only 2…
I would like to take a moment to thank my 3rd grade music teacher for teaching the song “Fifty Nifty United States”

There are 23 states I have never set foot in (if I counted correctly) so I have “touched down” in over half the states! Still have quite a ways to go…
