Break Time!

I'm taking a break today!

Yesterday, after staring at my computer for an entire 9 hours straight, I came home with a big bad headache after a big bad day.

So today I'm going outside for lunch, eating my sandwich and reading some chic lit.

My computer won't know what to do without me....


My Five:
1. My non-tainted peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

2. Beautiful weather to enjoy.

3. My daughter's fever broke. And my son is better.

4. Visiting teaching done.

5. Zig Ziglar. Just kidding. But not really.

Motivation

Yesterday I had Darin take a picture of me in my swimsuit. It's my little (or big) way of reminding myself why I need to exercise.

Do any of you have tips on how to stay motivated to be healthy?

My Monday Five:

1. The smell of rain. It's so clean and refreshing.

2. Zig Ziglar. He makes me want to be positive. At least until something negative happens...

3. My lunch hour. I can do my 10 minute Bu-thigh workout and blog. Oh, and eat.

4. Ice cold water! Without the ice, though.

5. The square foot garden my husband is building. Our weed patch may actually look nice this year

The Lamest 6th Challenge Ever

First of all, I want to thank Ange for exposing my lameness in my pictures. Here are the rules:

1. Go to the photo folder in your computer
2. Go to the 6th folder of photos.
3. Go to the sixth picture.
4. Put the picture on your blog and description of it.
5. Invite six friends to join the challenge.

Here is the picture. That's right: an old record from the thrift store. Wowie.



Here's the explanation: I wanted to document a really cool craft project. You get an old record (this was mine - 50 cents at the DI).

What the picture doesn't show is that you then put the record over a bowl or cup in the oven over low heat until it melts. It makes a cool-looking bowl:



And then you can fill the cool bowl with a movie and candy for a unique gift:


And there you have it.

I tag: Liz, Jess, Jeanette, Brad, Becca, Nancy and Shannon. If you've already done this, you're off the hook!
