I'm doing 36 things
Every year, I forget to enter my name in the lottery that only happens once a year. Now that I’m looking through and editing my 43Things list, I decided to look up the official SNL lottery entry date and put that in my calendar. This year, I should get a reminder so that I can at least get the ball rolling on this goal. Even if I don’t get picked, at least I tried. Honestly, I haven’t watched SNL in years now and I don’t even know if it’s any good any more. But, I’m still a huge fan of seeing how things work and comedy in general. Either way, it should be fun.

How I did it
It made me
Liberated. 
How I did it: Grew my hair out for approximately two years. Decided that since I had no idea how I wanted to cut it, I was just going to donate it to Locks of Love. Once it grew out, I went to my hair stylist and said "chop it off!". 10" minimum, dry, in a ponytail, etc. Cut and donated my hair to Locks of Love at the same time that I was training for a century to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I used cutting my ha… Read how I did it…
It made me
Satisfied.
How I did it: Bought a tortilla press and some masa. Read the recipe on the side of the masa package for making corn tortillas. Put the ingredients in a mixer, and once ready, rolled the dough into golf-ball sized balls. Pressed the dough ball between sheets of wax paper in the tortilla press. Lightly cooked both sides of the tortilla in an ungreased pan. Read how I did it…
It made me
High-spirited!
How I did it: Joined Team in Training (TNT) to help support a wonderful cause while learning useful techniques for road biking. Purchased a bike (with a little advice from one of the TNT coaches, based on the event I wanted to complete). Signed up for America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride (AMBBR) century. Trained for approximately five months with TNT, going on long training rides on the weekends and shorter training rides during the week. Completed… Read how I did it…

I need to set a time for myself; get into a routine. I really want to start doing some simple working out. I think I’ll start on this goal tomorrow after work but just measuring my beginning point (and see if I can even do one whole pushup). Summertime motivates me.
I learn better with structure. That’s just how my brain works. Thanks to Groupon for offering a great deal on some language classes at a language school downtown. I haven’t actually signed up for the class yet, as I’m waiting for my schedule to not look so hectic with visitors, but at least I’ve already got them paid for with an expiration date. This will at least guarantee that I sign up and get my money’s worth. Who knows, maybe I’ll meet some fun new people in the process.
