It’s been almost a month since my last entry. I haven’t forgotten about the 90 in 90, but so much has been going on that having the time to actually sit and write full sentences has been a luxury I haven’t been afforded lately. To be completely honest, I’ve not stayed on task with doing something new everyday, however; I have kept an open mind and attempted to allow new opportunities. The most important thing I’ve done this month was learned something new about myself. I learned that I don’t really do well with long-term assignments. I think I have ADHD. Okay, that’s a pretty lame excuse, but seriously. If I commit to doing something, I feel like I have to do it right then and there.. If I say I’m going to do something in a week, I usually wait until the last minute… I guess my problem is that I am a chronic procrastinator. Tat and I get bored easily. Sad, huh? Imagine how I feel writing it. But anyways, there is some good news in this entry. I have doe a few (key word: few) things this month that I am proud to have accomplished.
For starters I tried out for the Philly Roller Girls, which is a Roller Derby Team. I’ve always wanted to do it, but always got caught up with other obligations. So on November 14th at 11am, I drove out to Camden, NJ and with the support of my family and a few close friends I put my roller skating skills on display. I made it through the finals and got accepted onto the team. I was ecstatic! Even at 30 years old, and after having two children, I was still tough enough to skate with some big jawns - I’m not trying to be offensive – but these women were like 5’ 11 and up and some were definitely well over 200 lbs of solid muscle. The down side to this whole scenario is that although I made the training team, I would not be able to stay with them due to my kid’s swim & tutoring schedule.
Lemme see… what else did I do?
Two days ago (Sunday) I started a part time job as a studio manager at a portrait company, and was surprised at how much I actually knew. I say that because I never received any formal training in photography, but was able to teach others how to take some pretty awesome pictures. I started to job as something to do that was of immediate interest to me. I really feel alive! Photography is and will always be a passion of mine, and being able to teach others how to do it is the best reward. Not to mention being paid to boss people around
And I guess that’s about it. I didn’t reach my goal of 1 thing each day, but when I look at it, I did pretty good. I mean I started a new Job, began vlogging online and tried out and MADE it onto a team of ass kicking women on wheels. I don’t know ‘bout you, but that’s pretty freaking awesome!
oh, yeah... On Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) I sat online - as in sat and waited in line - for 2 hours to purhase a laptop, only to decide halfway into it that sitting anouther 3 hours was not worth the $200 I would potentally save.. see, I told you, I'm ADHD
