How I did it
How to write my NaSoAlMo 2008 lyrics in my lyric journal
It took me
3 days
It made me
Happy

How I did it: I opened the journal to the next blank page and wrote "The Lake and the Leaning Tree" in black ink. Then I wrote "Saturday" in purple ink. Then I wrote "Nine Things That Are Not Other Things" in green ink. Then I wrote "Manual Hold Condition" in blue ink. I continued writing the lyrics for the rest of the songs with cycling through those ink colors. Read how I did it…

How to pay off my student loans
It took me
16 years
It made me
Very happy

How I did it: I just kept making payments every month, of course. Then, toward the end, I made bigger payments. Then I made a point to not spend a whole lot on other junk and paid off the loan in big chunks. Read how I did it…

How to learn to cook a turnip
It took me
1 day
It made me
happy

How I did it: I peeled a turnip. Then I sliced it thin. Then I brushed a cookie sheet covered in foil with olive oil. Then I lay the slices on the sheet and brush them with olive oil. Then I baked in the oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Then I let them sit for 10 minutes or so. Read how I did it…

Keep my e-mail inbox at work organized (read all 3 entries…)
The true test 4 hours ago

I’ve been able to do this since I changed jobs recently because I get far less e-mails. But next week will be the true test. I’ve been off for a week, so I’ll have a bunch of e-mails when I go back to work on Monday. If I can get the inbox organized before I leave on Monday, I’ll mark this complete.

Get the dead tree removed and the other trees trimmed
Scheduled in 1-1/2 weeks 4 hours ago

I’ve got this scheduled for week after next. I need to take some “before” pictures because I think it’s going to be a big transformation.

On another note, I was thinking about getting the dead tree replaced with an Eastern Redbud tree. If I can find a place that will plant it for me.
