Meg Pickert, Rodeo Runner
Today I did something. I completed the Rodeo Run 10K. It was a pretty terrible showing, but I did it.
This morning I was an anxious mess, it seemed like a pretty big mistake to sign up for this run. Although I had planned on doing a lot of training, it didn’t really happen. My longest consistent run before today was a little over 3 miles. Leah told me, that someone in a bar told her, that you get caught up win the excitement and you can do more than you think.
Happiness Project Progress (January)
For 2011, I made a plan to get happier. Although January has 2 days left, I decided that I would count those days as part of February because they start a new week. The first month I decided to focus on getting enough sleep and getting myself in shape. Now, I wasn’t able to achieve my goals 100%, but I feel proud of my tracking and of my achievement.
The Mystery of the Autographed Copy
As I’ve mentioned lately, I have a renewed zest for kid lit. I adored Cabinet of Wonders by Marie Rutkoski and wrote about it on my classroom blog, pickertskiddos.blogspot.com. Anway, I purchased the second book from Amazon and it came signed! So, I decided to do a little investigating! The rest can be told from the email train below….
The Happiness Project – Goals for 2011
It is time to get serious about making room for happiness. Six months ago I wrote about The Pursuit of Happiness, I had high hopes, but I did not make a way to track it. Tracking it, makes it real and concrete, which also makes it happen (per The Happiness Project). Here is my plan.
Bob Schneider – HOB
We almost recreated Christine’s bachelorette the other night. We saw ol’ Bob at Gruene Hall and Sandra snagged us tickets for us to see him again. Leah and I went once in college too, so basically Bob is getting up there with Dave Mathews concerts now.
The Pursuit of Happiness
I just read Maggie Mason’s recent blogpost, “20 Things I wish I’d known at 20” and it reminded me of all the key points and goals I’d made for myself when I read The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. This book took me some time to read, I read a chapter or so and made notes. I had to think on her thoughts and how they applied to my life. While reading other books, I would feel like it was time for a dose from The Happiness Project.
