I have to have a “challenge” to keep me motivated and keep writing or else I will always find an excuse not to do it. I often use the “i don’t have time today” or “I have nothing interesting to say.”  But if I have a challenge where I feel like I HAVE to post, I will Make time. If I have a challenge, even if I don’t think it’s all that interesting for the day, I will still post because I HAVE to post Something. And making myself do it will only help, right? It will keep me motivated to write, to spread and cultivate my creativity.

So here we go. On Ria’s page she explains the idea here.

Wish me Luck! and Join us If You Dare!

I highly recommend this ball exercise dvd, it’s great! I just started using it and it sure works. I never knew how much working out with the ball strengthened your “core” (abs for example). they feel pretty tight right now and I only did the abs once, I’ve been doing the upper body or lower body. And this lady isn’t too bad. I usually get annoyed with the perky aerobic girls, they’re like high strung muscular cheerleader types on steroids or something… but anyway, this lady isn’t TOO bad… she was actually reading my thoughts yesterday… i’m so serious. We moved into another exercise and I was like “Woah, that hurts” and then she says, “You can really feel it now can’t you?” “wow, I said, yes, I can. i might need a break!” She replies “Don’t give up, you can do it”(or something to that effect) and I say “Ok I won’t I’ll keep going” and I made it! HAHA. There was something else too but being that I have to do it in the morning before I’m fully awake I can’t remember…

Which brings me to a side topic, this is the best quote ever, Polynesian Princess found it for me…

I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing. ~Marsha Doble

haha isn’t that great? that must be why I can only work out in the morning

And the month long challenge is now done! My last post is Nature for the color red… well I hope you consider this nature… they at least live out in the nature… are animals nature? now i’m doubting HAHA. well i’m considering this nature anyway, these crazy ducks are always around my apt complex. And their faces are red they are the most stubborn ducks too, they will not move out of your way , you have to actually drive around them… They’re not scared of you either. Sometimes they are on the sidewalk when I’m coming out of work and I walk right next to them and they don’t even move. They eye you alright, but they don’t move or bother you.

2 more days of the challenge! Category for today is TEXT. I have a couple postcards with red text on the front. The one on the right is from Mexico, my cousin sent this to me when she was studying in Mexico. And the one on the left is from Germany. I got this from Post Crossing- www.postcrossing.com. This is a really interesting project that someone created. You sign up and request an address, then you send someone a postcard from another country. Once they receive it and log it in the website your address goes up to the top of the list and the next person that requests an address gets yours. So far I have sent 3 and received 3. I sent one to Finland, Germany and Sweden. And received one from Germany, Finland and Japan (you can somewhat see the one from Japan in the bottom of my picture). I need to go get more postcards so I can send and receive more! It is pretty interesting you should give it a try!

I am so glad its Friday! The week actually went by fairly quickly, but its nice to have a weekend!

well my day didnt start off too great… there was an accident so it took a while to get to work, then i realized i forgot my phone when i was going to call work to tell them i was going to be late. i missed a call from my bank, but luckily they were open til 6 so i was able to call her back when i got home. but i also didnt have my camera phone and i didnt have office supplies taken care of for the challenge yet! ah. but i found some packing tape that has a red plastic dispenser sitting on my desk at home. so that works right? lol. tape is an office supply. its really packing tape so its a packing supply technically… but i’m going to make it work because well… i dont have anything else! ha.

Here you go red office supply …

Week 4 of the Challenge, Day 4 of Red, Category Food. TOMATO! I actually have a tomato in my fridge… I dont often so it’s kind of exciting haha. I never use it up so I never buy one cuz I hate wasting food. But I really wanted a BLT. So I bought one. The BLT was great. Then I made a salad and put tomato in it which was a very nice addition to my normal salad. and then I made nachos, great topping. Now I need something else to use the rest… lol. it wasn’t even a very big tomato! and ideas that I could use a little tomato for a garnish or something??

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to all the Admin out there!! I’m not EXACTLY an admin anymore, i’m in Customer Support, but basically the same functions and role. So my bosses took me and my team to lunch today at Benihana. OH My it was Scrumptious! The dude cookin in front of us on that grill thing was SO FUNNY. His nametag said G-Unit. SO you know right there this guy tries to be a comedian. He was crackin jokes, and sining- mostly rap songs. it was just a fun fun atmosphere, and the view was of the intercoastal waterway, beautiful. So they planned this perfect too, when we got back from lunch they had vases on each of our desks with a big bouquet of flowers and a balloon! So thoughtful. It feels great to be appreciated!! My office is WONDERFUL about that. It really helps that we have a great team in place, we’re all very nice and helpful and easy to get along with. So I think they respect that, and in turn respect us, especially when I hear what they used to have to deal with, and saw one instance first hand (good things shes gone now! haha). So it works out well! Oh and some of the flowers just happen to be RED and the Balloon is Red TOO! So this works well for my post of the day… category would be wild card I gather… Have a great Day!

Not much to say today about my post… its red, its under household items, its a red candle. Smells good. lol. maybe i’m too tired or too rushed to think of anything interesting tonight… ah maybe tomorrow…

The last color of the week for the month of April is RED! Can you believe April is almost over with already? Well I finished the week off with fabric and now I’m starting with fabric. fitting. I actually wore a red shirt today, and totally not on purpose! lol. I didn’t even realize it til I was wondering what I could take a pic of today that was red and realized it was right under my nose!

And the last day for the yellow week of the photo challenge would be the fabric/material category. I picked my American Eagle bag. My mom gave it to me, I think she got it for free actually. But its one that goes over one shoulder, it is perfect for the beach! It’s my favorite bag pack all my stuff in and head to the beach!
