#36 Rip all my CD’s into itunes

I have completed the very tedious job of ripping all my cds into itunes.  

I now have 756 days 2 hours and 46 mins worth of music.  🙂

#88 Participate in a trivia night

I have been part of a team at the Trivia night of the Corner Hotel in Richmond.  First week we came 2nd and last week we were 3rd.   Hoping that we can remain in the top 3 this week.

#79 Visit Melbourne Zoo

Chris bought tickets for his family and myself to see the Blues Brothers tribute show “Briefcase Full of Blues” at the Zoo Twilights.  This was so much fun – sitting around on the grass, drinking Coronas, listening to the lions roar……

The band was a lot of fun too.

This also counts towards #56 See a live band at least once every 3 months for a year.

#73 Plant more herbs in the tubs and use them in a dish I prepare

Wow – the second item to be crossed off my list.  Feeling good about finally crossing stuff off 

Not sure that lettuce qualifies as a herb – but we are going to count it 🙂   Here are the pics.  I picked some leaves of the lettuce to use in my Apple, Pear and Leek salad.

Chris also used some of these Chilli’s in his Manburgers the other day. Such a good feeling using stuff out of the garden.  Has me thinking of perhaps putting a real vege garden in.  But I also know that they are hard work…..not sure if I am up for that kind of responsibility just yet.

#35 See a therapist

I think I should have defined this “to do”  a little more.  I have attended two sessions with the same Psychotherapist.  I am going to say that this counts as meeting the requirement for the action item and cross it off my list.

I found my therapist by googling anger management and tried to pick a therapist based on the website and location (probably not the best criteria for choosing someone to help with ones mental health).  After my two sessions I have been given a handy tool to help disconnect from my emotions and offered Hypnotherapy as an addition to the current sessions. I am done……for now.
