I'm doing 21 things
The final Harry Potter movie will be released July 15, 2011, so that’s a great time to host the party. I figure that, if I wait any longer, most of my friends will lose interest in the series. Of course, it could be fun to have a retro Harry Potter party in 30 years, like I did for Star Wars while I was growing up, but really, sooner is better. This is gonna be awesome. Awesomely nerdy, that is! I can’t wait!

Then I filled it with enriched garden soil.When I planted the vegetables in the bed, I tried to space them a… Read how I did it…

How I did it: It's just about setting priorities. Camping is inexpensive and doesn't have to take a lot of planning. My two 2008 camping trips were less than a 2-hour drive away (not bad, considering I live in Houston, the Flattest Place on Earth), and were fantastic! Read how I did it…

I bought a pedometer yesterday after work and walked 5,225 steps thereafter. Today, I’ve only taken 1,455 steps, and I’m almost done with my work day. I am going to have to do some serious walking in the evenings to achieve this goal.
