As part of my recovery from Post Partum Depression, I've been doing a lot of thinking about who I am, who I want to be and what I want to do with my life. Whilst doing this, I discovered the The 101 Things in 1001 Days Challenge at https://dayzeroproject.com

Day Zero started out with the catchy challenge of completing 101 things in 1001 days. This has been enormously popular with tens of thousands of people getting involved and sharing their lists. We now offer many more types of challenges, but here are the original guidelines for the challenge:

The Challenge:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part).

One of the things I am loving about the internet is that there are websites to track what I'm doing - fitness, food, music, books, tv/movies. I don't watch a lot of tv and movies due to a lack of time, but I listen to a lot of music and read a lot and I've been having fun getting to see my statistics.

Music
My top artists: Brantley Gilbert, Dierks Bentley, LeAnn Rimes, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Chris Young, Darius Rucker, Dixie Chicks, Kristian Bush and Little Big Town
My top tracks: Brantley Gilbert — Rockin' Chairs; LeAnn Rimes — The Story; Dierks Bentley — 5-1-5-0; Chris Young — Aw Naw; Carrie Underwood — Before He Cheats
It shouldn't come as any surprise that my top genres listened to were Country and Modern Country

Books
I read Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire & The Vampire Lestat. Today I started reading Queen Of The Damned.
Top genres were - unsurprisngly - Horror & Vampires

Movies & TV
TV None
Movies Interview With The Vampire, Beauty & The Beast
Top genres were Fantasy & Romance

I'm interested to see what next week brings me

Happy Mothering Sunday to all the other mum's out there.

My little girl (and her daddy) made me breakfast in bed - Full English no less! - and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I also got The Music Of Nashville S1 CD boxset and S1 of The Walking Dead on DVD. I feel very spoiled, very loved and I'm looking forward to curling up and watching that tonight after Chloe's gone to sleep.

Paul then said I could spend the day doing whatever I wanted. And honestly, I'm still sitting here in bed. I sprained my ankle yesterday afternoon at the gym so I'm sitting here with it on a pillow, listening to Sam Palladio singing to me and I've been reading The Vampire Lestat. Kind of perfect, really.

Current Mood: content
Current Music: Sam Palladio - I'll Be There
