On 10.7.12, I completed my goal to go zip lining. It was a mini one, but I still did it. I was definitely scared at first - even at only 25 feet. However, when it came to the point of jumping, there was no hesitation. I just went for it! I had a blast and definitely want to do some other zip line courses that are higher up. My research shows that it should not be too expensive. I would like to get a group together for these fun times.Random thought in writing this: I saw an airplane on the way to work this morning and couldn't wait to fly again. <3 This is the first time I have longed to fly away since I was a kid. My willingness to complete these goals and conquer my fear of heights has really grown! Fearless.
Words cannot describe my excitement!
A few other goals currently in progress:
Learn to play guitar: I have been learning to play guitar at my church, First Baptist Church of Elverta, through Rawge Jones. Rawge gave me a guitar that he both fixed and converted to left-handed so that I could play easier. Please check out Reborn Guitars to see the amazing things this ministry is doing! You can also check it out on Facebook!
In the photo to the right, Yessica and I are having a little guitar practice after-party. Currently, we are learning to play "As the Deer." I am proud to say that I can now sing this song while playing! Progress. :]]
I am working on this lovely Sleeping Beauty Puzzle. This thing has really been through it. My cats have decided that they enjoy sliding across my dining room table, then they play with the pieces that fall off. The worst damage they have done left only 75% of the princess and the rest completely demolished. Steven and I actually had to hunt for pieces in order to put it all back together. This included flipping couches and pulling out the refrigerator and stove. Hardcore, I know. Hopefully we have found all of the pieces. This is how far I am at the moment. Little by little, it is coming together.
Run a 5k:
I have been talking about the Run For Your Lives Zombie 5k Obstacle Course for the last few posts. We are finally less than 2 weeks until this 5k and I am stoked! Yesterday, I did my first 2.75 mile run, and it felt great! 35 minutes was the total time, which is not quite where I want to be, but pshhhh, I ran 2.75 miles! I never thought I would be doing something like this.
The San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon on June 2, 2013, is my ultimate goal in running. In order to keep myself motivated, I need to keep finding runs that I can participate in. This brought me to the 19th annual Run to Feed the Hungry, this year, on Thanksgiving. This is a 10k run, which means that I will have 5 weeks to increase my distance from 3 to 6 miles. No big deal. I got this.
After the 10k, I will be looking for a half marathon run, so if you know of any, let me know!
Day Zero Project goal update: 49 goals to do, 4 goals in progress, and 42 goals achieved. 727 days left!
Avoid Facebook For 1 Week:
Starting today, I will be avoiding all forms of social media. See you next Monday.
Let's move into...
Lifetime Move Monday!!!
Lifetime Movie: "Stranger with My Face"
My guess: A girl was originally born a twin. The other twin was kidnapped shortly after birth, by someone who had it out for the entire family. The parents never told their daughter that she was a twin or of the issues with the other party in order to keep her life as normal as possible. The other twin was raised to be a replacement. The plan is to kill her twin and take over her life, as she then plots to kill her parents.
Comment with your guesses.
The answer:
Afer the shocking and untimely death of her husband, Shelley Stratton (Catherine Hicks) moves her daughter Alexis (Emily Hurst) and her adopted daughter, Laurie (Alexz Johnson), to their remote summer house in hopes of giving her family a fresh start. As Laurie begins to settle in and put her life back together, she gets the eerie feeling that she is constantly being watched. Laurie's uneasiness grows when people start claiming to see her in places that she has never been. The family's delicate state begins to unravel when Laurie unearths the dark past, discovering a twin sister that she never knew she had. Laurie is forced to delve deeper into her twin's secrets, for as it turns out her twin has been locked up for years! Laurie must now understand their strange connection in order to prevent her sister from taking over her life and harming her loved ones.
Lifetime, you have done it again!
