I think I’ve learned the key to this one. I’ll simply sale all the books I won’t ever read (which are many) and read the books that seem interesting. Soon, the only books I own will be those books I’ve read.

How I did it
How I did it: I went out and started to try on dozens of clothes. Anything I could get my hand on that seemed like me. Then I made notes as to what I can and cannot pull off. Sweaters make my tiny pudgy body look larger than it is, jeans will never fit me just right, and I have a large neck with very broad shoulders so dress shirts are difficult to fit. Read how I did it…

Well, she’s an old dog now.
I made this goal a long time ago and when I moved over 30 miles away from home I just never was able to accomplish it. I wish I had spent more time with my dog doing little owner/pup stuff like walking. I miss that girl.
