224/1001: Progress, more or less.

Writing stuff down, checking stuff off the list. It's weird how things seems to come in little bursts. I'll feel like I've spent no time working towards my goals, then I'll look over the list and realise I've gotten some done.

38. Do 10 random acts of kindness - these were fairly basic things, but I tried to go above and beyond without it being too weird. A great balancing act. It would be cool if everyone would get on the random acts of kindness or pay it forward bandwagon.

74. Take the dog to intermediate training - Back to school for the pupster. I'm not 100% she's getting what we're trying to teach her, but I've made friends with the trainer. Because of that, she gives Blaze extra attention and time. I'm not sure if the puppy will be ready for advanced classes any time soon. Having a big dog, I want to make sure she's well behaved. She's an awesome companion and the training has been really fun.

75. Blog once a week for a month - This is pretty self-explanatory. Blogging regularly is not something I find to be an easy task, I tend to ramble a lot and I feel the need to self-censor a LOT. And practice isn't making me any better at it.

193/1001

It's been a long while since I've blogged about my Day Zero project. I can't believe how horrible I've been at this.

I have been working on my list, but I find lately, I've been adding more things to it than crossing off.

I am slowly getting some goals accomplished, though.

It's winter and there's been a lot of snow and a lot of -20 days. I've been doing some reading, towards my read 30 books goal.

Since I enjoyed Eat, Pray, Love so much, I figured I would try out Elizabeth Gilbert's sequel to the book, titled Committed. I'm sort of sorry I did. I found it a slow, drawn out paranoid rant about the institute of marriage and it felt like an attack on any woman who chose to enter into marriage without being forced to by government officials so you could have your happily ever after. At best, I found this book irritating. I'd take a huge pass on this one.

I'm also reading a few other books and have even more lined up for when I've finished those.

I'm reading Meg Cabot's Queen of Babble. It's a typical chick lit. I'm liking it okay, it's a good brain break.

I'm also working on Blink. It's a interesting read.

Next on my shelf is Everything That Can Happen in a Day by David Horvitz. This book was recommended to me from a Postcrossing friend. I'm excited about it.

I also picked up the Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, recommended by a forum I belong to. I'm looking forward to that one.

I think when I get through this list, I will have read about 12 books.

I'm starting over on my 200 situps challenge. I found it was easier than I thought it was going to be and then I sort of gave up on it.

I'm also looking at blogging more often. I'm not always sure I have interesting stuff to say. So I'll see how that goes.
