Phew! Day 1 is DONE. I have to admit that video is VERY challenging for me. I am very self conscious of the way I look and the way I talk. That’s why I like to write, because you don’t have to see or listen to me!
But I wanted to explore video this year because it is very popular right now. Part of my hope for this project is to become a more confident speaker.
As I said, my husband and I had a great New Year’s Eve. Our friends Mike and Azad had a party and it was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed spending time with friends as well as Mike and Azad’s dogs.
Mike and Azad have several dogs, some that they own and some that they foster. Bruno, a pitbull/boxer mix, decided to snuggle next to me on the couch while we watched the ball drop. He is so adorable. Just look at this face:
I also enjoyed spending time with Freddy, whose personality resembles a crotchety old man who you can’t help but love. Freddy doesn’t see very well, and whenever he came across a wall or corner he would start barking at it. As if he was saying,”Hey! Get out of my way, wall!”
This is Freddy in a dinosaur costume:
Quick plug! Azad volunteers for a couple of Animal Rescue organizations: S.N.O.R.T. (Short Noses Only Rescue Team) and Save One Soul Animal Rescue League. If you live in the Boston area and are looking for a dog, please consider adopting from these wonderful organizations!
Anyway… I only had three beers at the party over the course of several hours. One of my goals for 2015 is to drink less. Mostly for health reasons (I gained back the 20 lbs. I worked so hard to lose last year… whoops), but also for financial reasons.
The money I save will be put toward travel. I plan to make traveling more of a priority because I LOVE traveling. So every time I wish to buy beer or wine, I’m going to imagine myself drinking beer or wine in an exotic location I’ve never been to before.
So there.
Also, this year will be our 5th year wedding anniversary. I want to go on an awesome trip with my husband! We have a few ideas about where we want to go, but nothing is solidified yet. I will keep you posted!
Happy New Year, everyone! Stay tuned for more #30DaysProud posts!
