VEDA
Let’s talk for just a second about how ridiculous I am. And by ridiculous, I mostly mean CRAZY. You see, I seem to be on a committing-to-new-challenges kick. I’ve been committed to my weight loss journey for several months now (working out 3-5 times per week), and in the last several days I have also committed to THREE new, rather time-consuming items:
- Taking a photo every single day and posting it to Flickr
- Sending snail mail to everyone who signs up on my awesome form (Do it!)
- And, starting today: Vlogging every day in August
This on top of stuff like making jewelry, having a social life, and spending time with my incredible hunk of a husband. Apparently I just really like to be busy. (I almost said, “I just really like to get busy,” but that goes without saying…or, you know, doesn’t need to be said here. Except I just said it, so…there.)
Anyway, yes. This morning, I posted my first vlog for the VEDA challenge. If you’re interested in following along with the other NINETEEN participants (!!!), check out this page. Just like I don’t plan on posting my Project 365 stuff to the blog every day, I also will not be posting my VEDA videos unless they tie in with a written post. I’ll try not to annoy you too much on Twitter with links to my flickr or youtube pages, but I will throw them out there once in awhile just in case you care.
As for this VEDA thing, I’m mostly excited about it because I will get to know the other participants a little better, while also fine-tuning my spectacular stage presence. (Rrrright…) But seriously. I honestly don’t know what’s gotten into me with all this stuff, and I hope I don’t drive myself (or my husband) insane in the process. I have to admit that if I end up feeling too overwhelmed, VEDA is likely to be the thing I drop first, for various reasons which I don’t have the mental wherewithal to go into right now. (Can you tell how totally NOT focused I am as I’m writing this?)
So. VEDA. Project 365. Snail Mail. And seven days until my one-year wedding anniversary. These are all things that make me happy — and also slightly nervous — today. (I don’t even want to TALK about the weight loss stuff, except to say: I had a LOT pizza for dinner, two nights in a row. I am not a failure, and I am not giving up, but that was really dumb of me.)
Happy August 1st!
Instead of crazy, let’s just call it ambitious. It sounds better.
So glad you decided to do VEDA. I loved everyone saying in their videos yesterday, “Um, I don’t know why I’m doing this, but I’m up for a challenge.” Yeah, me too.
Yes, that sounds like a crazy amount to do, but also lots of fun. We’ll see how you feel at the other end of August
I’m so glad you joined into VEDA. It shall be a fun month!
So I’ve done 2 out of 3 videos, that’s not so bad, right!? I was too lazy on Sunday to do the 1st one. My goal is to do it 5 days a week and see how it goes!
