Totally Awesome!

A guy in London wanted to cheer people up in the face of the current economic crisis so he made happy face balloons out of soap, helium and vegetable dye. Basically these are giant soap bubble clouds that will pop and biodegrade when their cheering up is done. To read the full article click here.

I think this is the coolest idea and it was very thoughtful of the artist to try and make his fellow Londoners a little happier. It would be nice if everyone could do a little something to cheer up their friends and neighbors during these hard times in the world.

Have a great day, you're fantastic! ( That's me trying to cheer you up)

I'm Confused

So it's been 4 weeks since i blogged about trying to shed a few pounds. I've been keeping track of my exercise and what I've been eating and I'm not quite sure what happened.

I started out at 183, then after a couple days i went up to 186, then a couple days after that i was up to 187. I stayed at 187 for probably two weeks and then last Saturday I went back down to 185 and I've been holding steady there. I know you're weight is supposed to fluctuate due to a variety of factors, but the bottom line is i gained weight over the last month

I'll admit that i pigged out the week of Valentines and my Birthday. I'll also admit that the 5 days of exercise per week still hasn't quite materialized, but i am consistently getting 3 days a week in. So i guess I'll just keep plugging along with the DDR and my exercise DVDs. If you have any suggestions besides eat less, exercise more - I'd love to hear them.

We'll see what happens in another 4 weeks.

Happy Love Day!

I was surfing the web today and i found this article about celebrity couples who have stayed together for a really long time. Some of the couples were surprising and it just goes to show that if people are really committed to each other then they will be able to stick by each other through all sorts of circumstances. I think more people would stick together if they could learn to be supportive of their spouses through the successes and the failures and learn to strike a balance in their relationships.

Yay for love and commitment!

Funny story. So last night Chris and I went to bed a little early - 10:30. I guess we were so exhausted from the birthday extravaganza. BTW, my super secret present was Dance Dance Revolution, the ultimate in tricking yourself into exercising because it's so much fun! I am totally going to play tonight, even if my downstairs neighbors complain about it sounding like elephants jumping around.

Anyway we went to bed and were sleeping soundly when i was awakened by the flashing time on the alarm clock. Power outage. So i got up and checked the time on my cell phone, re-set the time and the alarm and went back to sleep. Time goes by and the alarm goes off. Chris is late for work, so he gets ready first. Chris leaves and while I'm getting dressed i get a call from Chris. He tells me to look at the clock in the living room which runs on batteries. Guess what, it's only 5:30 am! The power must have gone out again after i fixed the clock the first time.

Chris decided to just stay at work , but i went back to bed for an hour. I hate it when the power goes out!
