How I did it
It made me
Not musical 
How I did it: I bought the kit from the Maker Shed. Then after it showed up after the move, I took a little time and put the thing together. Not quite the sound I was hoping for. I might have to do this again when I have the money to buy a better kit. But it is certainly a conversation piece. Read how I did it…
It made me
tired 
How I did it: Had a good realtor that kept looking for the kind of home I was looking for, not just what there was to sell. Finally the right one came along, and I patiently made my way through the escrow process. No point getting too anxious, but it would have been nice if there had been more transparency, i.e. I knew where things stood. But overall not too painful. Read how I did it…
It made me
Wondermental
How I did it: The director asked if I would be interested, with part of the show turned over to me to actually direct, with his help. Of course everything went great once we picked out the perfect cast. There wasn't much work to do. Give them a few ideas and let them take off with them. Then make sure they don't forget... And go ahead and try things out. Some work, some don't, but a lot of times you can't tell until you see it. Read how I did it…

Now I need to make it a habit. But I have something I write every two weeks that I can use. SO I just need to find additional things to write about.
I keep them in the car and pull them out for the big shopping trips. Now I just need to use them for the smaller trips too.
