I'm doing 43 things
I’m kind of ambivalent about it. Long hair is sometimes a pain…getting caught in places that it shouldn’t, such as in the bottom of the vacuum cleaner—funny, but I almost got scalped. I had it “butt” length for years. Just cut it to about shoulder length, and like it much better.

In school, out of school…repeating cycle…Sometimes wish I would have just done it, but once I realized that getting the piece of paper isn’t necessarily about learning, it made it a little more difficult. There are opportunities out there that don’t involve the paper, and, though I won’t go as far as to say that it is worthless, I think that finishing school makes it too easy to ‘settle’ into a 9-5 without ever exploring your true potential.
I just downloaded the list yesterday…I have a bunch of the books, have read a few (I am a used book sale fanatic, but don’t read as much as I should). Since it has been awhile since I have read much of anything, I’ll start fresh and re-read what I have already read. Start with The Hobbit, then LOTR…
