How I did it
How to run easily
It took me
6 months
It made me
Sweaty

How I did it: I ran 3 days a week. And I signed up for races so I had accountability and a deadline. Then I ran and ran and ran.The most important part is to listen to your body. Some days you can't do as much and that's OK.Your body knows what's up and you have to realize you're working together, not against each other. Read how I did it…

How to list 40 things to do before I turn 40 and do 2 things towards them every week
It took me
3 years
It made me
satisfied

How I did it: I started making the list 3 years ago. I tried to vary the goals across many areas of life rather than just focus on one. It took me about 2 months to make the list and then I just tried to make small steps towards them all the time - planning stops on vacation, taking opportunities to practice skills, and so on. Read how I did it…

How to have adventures. Live live live!
It took me
1 year
It made me
more open

How I did it: I actively looked for new  things to try in my daily life. I'm not always the most adventurous about new foods and so on since I already know what I like. Also I'm pretty fearful.  But I just tried to push past that and chose the unknown over the known.I also tried to plan more substantial adventures in advance to make them happen. Read how I did it…

Audiobook #2 - The Areas of my Expertise 7 hours ago

Very funny. Very odd. Very very odd.

I think it’s probably better as an audio book since my very favorite part of the whole thing was all of the official state songs. As in,

“Massachusetts says, you can keep your fucking tea.”
and
“Did you ever have the feeling you were being sucked out into outer space? That’s Montana.”
and
“Pennsylvania. It’s not the place that’s overrun by vampires. Come visit a brand new Vania.”

Audiobook #1 - The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 11 hours ago

Much better than I anticipated.

The plots aren’t anything new for YA fiction – girl finds love, girl deals with parents remarriage, girl has sex too young, girl deals with death – but the actual stories had lots of twists that surprised me.

Also better written than anticipated. Lots of nice details and descriptions. And interesting darkness that isn’t really wrapped up.

Quite good, really.
