I'm doing 43 things
Yet again, I have not met my 50 books challenge. This year was especially bad as I only read 7 books! I’ve never done that badly with reading. I plan to really work on this next year. And yes, I will try again to read meet the 50 book challenge!

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I went online to Walgreens Photos, uploaded my photos and had them printed. It really wasn't more complicated than that. SO NO, 43THINGS, I CANNOT WRITE MORE ABOUT HOW I DID THIS. Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy!
How I did it: I honestly gave up at the end of the year because the job market was so dismal. After an entire year of living on the meager sums I got from babysitting, I was burnt out. But I remembered seeing a job with a spa open before the year ended. Two weeks ago I went back to see if the position had been filled and found it was still open. So I applied and received a call to interview. After two interviews, I got the job! Read how I did it…
It made me
Pleased.
How I did it: I started alternating certain showering activities to save time in the shower. On days I wash my hair, I don't shave my legs. And on days when I shave, I don't wash my hair.

I know Wolfmother has been around for a few years now but I never really had the opportunity to check them out. And then I head this awesome song on “Chuck” one night and googled it. Turns out it was Wolfmother’s “Woman” and I decided to check out the rest of their catalog. I’ll admit their music can be kind of samey but it’s such fun, rockin’ music that I don’t mind. Definitely pleased about this discovery.
