Reading Goal

I read some tips from other readers that managed to read 100 books a year. First off, they are in the process of reading more than one book at a time. Which makes sense. You can have a book near anywhere you tend to sit, so by the bed, by the couch, and in the bathrooms, and in the car. You spend more time reading instead of hunting for the book. So I'm down with that.

I've also started reading with a bookmark. I don't need it all the time, but when the TV is on or people are talking, I can put it under each line I'm reading and then find my place a lot quicker if I have to look up and talk to someone.

Right now I'm in the middle of reading Druids. And I have Coyote Waits by Tony Hillerman sitting by my computer so I can read that when I get a chance.

I also want to go to the library soon. I'd like to read Twilight and Inkheart so I can at least get on the waiting list for those.

43things helps me to keep track

I updated my goal list on 43things.
I realized how very many goals I have. No wonder it is so hard to get to any of them.

Hooping and Dancing

Yesterday I both worked on my hooping and on dancing. So that's two of my dreams right there. Let's see if I can be consistent and do it two days in a row.

Update:
I put on some music on Youtube and got about an hour of stretching and dancing in. I already feel more limber than I did yesterday. I was a little stiff and sore at first but I took my time and stretched out slowly first. I sure don't need an injury at this point in the game.

Getting organized Dream #5

Today I'm working on my dream of having guests over. Which means going out to the garage and sorting boxes so I can get some of this stuff out of my living room. My boyfriend parked his new bike right in the middle of it, but if I make him a spot in the garage maybe he will put it out there. Yah think?

Doumbek Drumming Dream #11

I'm pursuing my musical dreams. So today that meant getting out my doumbek, blowing the layer of dust off of it and playing it. The best part is I found free tutorials on youtube and other sites. So now I'm very excited about getting better. Cool.

Music Dedication

I watched an inspiring show today about symphony musicians in northern CA. One woman is in 8 symphonies. A cello play does over 70 concerts a year. That's more than one a week. I admire people that go for their dreams in a big way like that. Their website is here.

Archery 2

After doing archery yesterday I thought my neck and shoulders might be sore today from pulling the bows. But those areas are fine. What is seriously hurting is my back. The target was covered with a heavy rubber substance so arrows tended to bounce right off. So consequently I picked up a lot of arrows off the ground, so I'm guessing that is why my back is so sore. Just one more thing to work on in my journey towards my goals.
