No more going to work and classes dressed in pajamas and wearing no makeup. No more just throwing my hair in a ponytail because I’m too lazy to try anything else. Getting up 15 minutes earlier everyday will give me the time to put some more effort into my appearance, and I think I’ll start there.

How I did it: When I added this to my list, I was thinking more about finding enough things to make a list of 43 than about my real life. Because what I realized shortly thereafter was that I already learn something new every day, whether or not I keep track of what I'm learning. Think about it--I'm sure you learned something already today! Read how I did it…
Stuffed Shells
Spaghetti sauce with added meat over jumbo shells stuffed with a delicious blend of cottage cheese and eggs, spiced with oregano, parsley, and garlic. My husband loved it and I’ll definitely make this again!
I’m going to start by uploading all my 2008 photos-including my wedding photos. Then I can get to work on my documents! Since I only have one computer (a laptop), I’m scared shitless that someday it will just commit suicide and I’ll have lost everything. However, I wanted to use MSN’s Skydrive, since it’s a free 25GB worth of storage, but this is proving rather difficult since I can’t upload folders, only single files. Any suggestions? My 2 jump drives that I got for Christmas are only 2GB, and my 2008 photos are over 3GB total. I’d like to use something free!
