I just updated my 29 in 2012 list a bit. I have decided that rather than just keeping count of books/recipes tried, I will semi-document them, too. I may even eventually update the recipe portion of it with links to the recipes used [and whether it was good or not].
I can't really check off any items on the list yet except for perfecting eyeliner. Not liquid [yet!] but pencil liner. As a 29 year old woman that's sort of a huge thing!
I have been on a couple dates with a guy recently and it's made me realize how out of touch from the dating world I've been over the last... well, last number of years. I had this conversation with both Trish and Mum last week, how it has been a very long time since I've dated someone that I haven't known at all beforehand. I honestly don't know the last time I dated someone that I wasn't at least acquaintances with previously. It has been good though. It's fun and it's new.
My Joints in Motion... supervisor? Anywho, the woman who is my contact in that area approached me last week to join the committee for the Arthritis Society's Walk to Fight Arthritis. My first meeting with the group will be this Friday, so I suspect I will be directed to what my biggest role will be at that time. I know that part of why Trish asked me is to join is because of my personal experiences with arthritis.
Then she totally blindsided me [in a good way!] and asked if I would join her in another exciting venture here in town. Last year was the first time for the event Tour de Victoria and was a huge success. They had 1500 participants and are hoping to reach 3000 this year. To accommodate everyone they are incorporating different starting points, rather than just the one last year. What Trish floored me with was asking if I would be interested in being the coordinator for the 100K start line. Meaning I would be in charge of everything there. Thankfully it doesn't mean I have to DO everything, more just direct everyone around me so things go smoothly and on time. I am incredibly honoured that she thought of me for this and am excited for this little [huge?!] adventure. Thankfully I have lots of experience with race starts/finishes over the years, which is why Trish decided I would be perfect for the position.
After feeling stagnant in my old job for so long and not having a niche over the last while, this feels good. I'm starting to feel a little less like I'm just treading water trying to just make it through each week with no direction.
