124/1001 - Crossing a few things off the list

It’s been a long while since I’ve written about my progress, but I find I’m juggling my 365 Photo Project blog and have resurrected my Life blog as well (sort of).

Since I last updated on my Day Zero Project, I’ve crossed at least five other goals off my list.

#15 – Send 10 postcards via www.postcrossing.com: I really enjoyed this task. I sent postcards to Finland (x2), Taiwan, Belarus, Germany (x2), Poland, China, The Netherlands and Ukraine. This has been a cool experience and I’m going to continue with it. I’ve got 4 postcards traveling out there right now, so once they’ve arrived I will have sent 14 postcards.

#36 – Take the dog to her next round of training classes: I just finished this one on Saturday. We took Blaze to intermediate training and I really enjoyed it. I think puppy liked it, too. She was in a small class and one of her classmates from the puppy classes was in her intermediate group. We’ve already signed up for another round of classes that start in March.



#60 – Bake something to bring into work: My director is a huge fan of sweets and so is one of my coworkers. I used to bake once a month and bring it in to work, but I haven’t done that in over a year. I made thumbprint cookies, one of my coworkers’ favourites. They barely lasted one day.



#66 – Perform a song in front of an audience: I play in a band and while we do have a regular gig, we don’t really play real concerts or in front of a paying audience. It’s been a long time since I’ve performed in front of a ‘real’ audience, until this November. My band was asked to be one of the opening bands at a concert. I started getting nervous the morning before and felt sick by the afternoon. I hadn’t been nervous like that since…the morning of my wedding. Haha. It was a great experience though. It really brought the band together, we did a good job, so it also gave us some confidence. I’m looking forward to the next real gig.

#69 – Vote in a municipal election: At the end of October we had a municipal election. I’ve never much been interested in municipal elections, but the more research I did, the more I realized that municipal governments make the most decisions about things that impact my life on a day-to-day basis. There wasn’t much choice in the candidates. No one I voted for was elected. Maybe next time.
