Day Zero Update – April 2012

Those of you have been reading for a while may remember that I had started the Day Zero Project (101 things in 1001 days) . I haven't updated for a while. In that time, I've actually achieved some things and started some others. Things I've done recently:

• I had a picnic with the extended family while we visited during the school holidays.
• I have given up caffeine completely! This was on the list as cut down my caffeine intake but I am now completely caffeine free. I hope I'm finished withdrawal - well the headache part anyway. I'm tired and grumpy though, but that is apparently normal in caffeine withdrawal.
• I have been to an Art Gallery or Museum on 5 separate occasions.
• Finally , I learnt to make a paper crane. I may have been taught by a friends 9 year old but I have photographic proof that I have it! 

The process.



    



The outcome.







I have now completed 28 of my 101 goals and have another 14 in progress. I'm not sure I will make all 101 goals given my deadline is in 160 days or 4 Oct 2012. But I'm plodding along.

BTW Glowless is holding FlogYoBlog over at her place for the last time today. I thought I'd join in to support Glow and her awesome hosting of the Flog for the last 12 or so months.

Day Zero Update

This week I did something that many of my fine readers would have already done. I learnt how to apply make-up.
Scary thought for me really as I'm lucky if I wear makeup more than once a year and the majority of my recent makeup experience has been stage makeup for Girl Child for dance concerts.  I must admit I am getting better with her makeup and now I have some actual technique.  Well, maybe not technique but more idea than I used to have anyway. 
Who knew that I was always applying makeup incorrectly?  I guess I did because otherwise why would I have put it on my Day Zero list.  I now know that apparently my lips are my best feature. I know that the green concealer stuff works at reducing redness but apparently is noticeable under UV lights in nightclubs. 
I need to practice but hopefully now I have some technique I will be able scrub up nicely next time I get dressed up to go out.  Hopefully Mr E and I will get to out go to dinner again one day soon.
While I’m updating the Day Zero list, I managed to miss the Lunar Eclipse on 15 June 2011.  It was at 4 or 5 am and I was asleep.  Oops.  I may have to find something else to add into my list.
On the upside, I have signed up for Postcrossing! I need to decide if I’m willing to put Whining on my profile and get working on getting my postcards out there.  As if there wasn't enough of my in the world as there is!

Day Zero List as at 6 June 2011

I have updated my Day Zero list.  I now have 101 things on my list!!! How great is that.  I’m very impressed. According to the site I have completed 9% of my list so far.

So there you have it.  I will try to keep the Day Zero Page updated in case you are interested in how I am going.  I knew a few bloggers who were doing this.  Are you still around and if so how are you going on your list?

Mr E. started his own list a while back, does anyone else want to join me? 

So it’s NaBloPoMo time again!

I think perhaps I’m a glutton for punishment, but I’m doing it again.  I think this is the third NaBloPoMo I’ve done this year. But it is on my Day Zero list so I’m going full steam ahead.

Now there is no Theme for this month and I’m not sure if this is going to help or hinder me in this.  But I still have some (the majority) of Op Self Act to go so that will help.  And I may actually get myself organised enough to have posts ready to go as well, how cool would that be? Anyone got any ideas for things I can write about?

So who else is a sucker? Any other NaPoBloPosters out there?

August 2010 - NaBloPoMo over

Okay, you may have noticed a few cheating posts lately.  I did lose motivation but I managed to make it all the way through to the end.  Of course I only posted once on the Month’s theme (it was green).  Ah well. 

I’m not planning on falling off the blogging wagon however, I am going to enjoy going to bed without thinking I have to blog before I go to bed otherwise I will have failed the NaBloPoMo.

So let’s have some celebratory things because I made it!

It may. I don’t know.

Umm...I really don’t know.

No.

Depends who the person is. I’ve often felt that people like I’ve got no skills or work experience because I wear jeans and joggers and don’t seem to have a job.

391. Are you quick to judge others?
I try not to be. But I can be.

392. When you have a fight with someone do you want to talk about it right away or calm down first and then talk?

As far as I am concerned, the inability to empathise or accept difference.

395. Do you have it?
No.

396. Which do you think has more impact on a person’s character, genetics or environment?

50 questions that will free your mind

This is post number 150.  So to celebrate this momentous occasion I thought I should answer the 50 questions that will free your mind from Marc And Angel Hack Life.

Now before I do this I think I should celebrate.  So here is some cake, balloons and your choice of red or white wine.

Thanks to you who have hung around with me for the last 150 posts.  Your support and comments have been greatly appreciated.

Now onto the questions.

1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?  I’d like to be 23. Just married, life ahead of me, exciting times. But I’m probably more like 40!
2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Not trying at all.
3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Because humans are very strange creatures.
4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? Probably.  Actions do speak louder than words but there always seems to be way more talking than doing in life.
5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? Wow, it’s hard to pick only one.  I think I would have to choose injustice. If we could rid the world of injustice, then hopefully the flow on effect would be zero wars, enough food for everyone and everyone would be treated equally (regardless of race, religion, physical appearance or ability).
6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? Something that makes a difference to people.
7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? Currently settling and trying to work out how do to what I believe in.  That sounds very sad.
8. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? Learn to worry less? My kids won’t be grown by the time I die so I would focus on making the time we had together fun and prepare them for life.
9. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? Someday sit feels that I haven’t at all.  I’m trying to change that.
10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? I’m not sure one outweighs the other. 
11. You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire.  They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend.  The criticism is distasteful and unjustified.  What do you do? Try to change the subject.  Depending on what the role the people have in my life I may possibly defend my friend.  I would really hope that if I respected and admired these people they may respect me, listen to me  and stop the criticism.
12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? Trust your intuition.
13. Would you break the law to save a loved one? I don’t know.
14. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity? No.
15. What’s something you know you do differently than most people? Trust people.  I find it very difficult to do.
16. How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? Because everyone is different, with their own unique thoughts, history and dreams.
17. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? Tried to write for a living. What’s holding you back? Fear of inadequacy, fear of rejection, really just fear in general.
18. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? Yes. Fear.
19. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? Probably a different city in Australia because I’ve never really felt the need to travel overseas.  Plus I think we have a good life in Australia.
20. Do you push the elevator button more than once?  Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? Yes, not all the time but sometimes.  And No I don’t think it makes the elevator come faster but it helps to fill in time while I’m waiting.
21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? Definitely joyful.
22. Why are you, you? Genetics, history, all sorts of things.
23. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?  Maybe less sociable but otherwise yes.
24. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? Losing touch.  Because there are always phone calls, emails, face book etc to keep in touch when people move away.
25. What are you most grateful for? Living.
26. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? Probably lose the old ones.  There are some that aren't that great.
27. Is is possible to know the truth without challenging it first? I don't know.
28. Has your greatest fear ever come true? Not my current greatest fear.
29. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset?  Does it really matter now? I don’t remember so it really didn't matter.
30. What is your happiest childhood memory?  What makes it so special? I’m not sure I could pinpoint it.  But I bet it was special because I felt loved.
31. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? I seriously don’t remember.  Wow another very sad answer.
32. If not now, then when? As above, I don’t know.
33. If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose? Nothing, really.
34. Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever? Oh yes.  I love that feeling.
35. Why do religions that support love cause so many wars? Because they think their are the only ones that are right and can’t accept people / religions can believe different things
36. Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil? Not without a doubt in most cases.
37. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? No.  Scale it back maybe but not quit.
38. Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing? More work I enjoy doing as long as it replaced the stuff I didn’t enjoy not just supplemented it.
39. Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before? Not today but some days, definitely feel like groundhog day.
40. When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in? I’m not sure I ever have.
41. If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? The person or people that meant the most to me.
42. Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous? No.
43. What is the difference between being alive and truly living? A lot.  Passion, thought, acceptance, all sorts of things.
44. When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right? When you can feel it. Or when you are prepared to wear the consequences.
45. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? Because people don’t want to be considered foolish or stupid.  Making a mistake could mean other people think we are failures and we could lose the respect of those we care about.
46. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? Be braver, take more chances, have less regret and perhaps dye my hair an unnatural colour.
47. When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing? Last night in bed.
48. What do you love?  Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love? My family.  Yes, I believe so
49. In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday?  What about the day before that?  Or the day before that? No, actually I don’t.  Not unless something important or major (either positive or negative) has happened.
50. Decisions are being made right now.  The question is:  Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you? A bit of both.  Mostly letting others make them and then feeling resentful about that. I think I will start to change that tomorrow.

So, are you going to answer these questions?  Or have you done it already? Let me know.

Day Zero Update 2

Home. Hurray! And other stuff.

We are home.  I’m grateful to be home and also grateful to be away.  I think I needed the break and hopefully I will be able to go on fresh.  I ended last year on a really down note and had avoided people most of the last few months because I was worn down and tired. 

I spent an inordinate amount of time volunteering at school last years. Girl Child’s behaviour got worse whenever I tried to help her group with anything.  This year I’m not going to spend so much time at school – well unless they pay me. 

I’m really hoping this year she will have a better year especially now that she sleeps through the night since she had her adenoids removed and then healed from the infection.  Of course while we were away she woke me tow of the 3 nights crying in her sleep.  She doesn’t remember why but I brought her into bed with me both times and she slept through until morning.

Maybe she cries most nights and at home our bedroom is too far away to here her.  I don’t know. I hope she doesn’t.  Thinking she does makes me sad.

Um.. next random thought.  I had been doing so well on the reducing my caffeine intake and upping the water I drink daily.  But while I was away I drank way too much caffeine and didn’t drink enough water.  We also ate way too much junk.  Way, way too much junk.

Tomorrow is another day.  Hopefully a better one, hopefully with less junk, caffeine and lots more water.  And maybe some exercise now my sunburn is just sun reddened and not painful anymore.

Oh yes, this post makes NaBloPoMo for January 2010 complete.  Yay another thing to have as in progress on my 101 list.
