Life is an adventure!

Happy Wednesday!

Adventure: An exciting or unusual experience. A bold, usually risky undertaking, with an uncertain outcome.

Adventures are what every person at some point has yearned for, in one form or another.   Sometimes grand, sometimes quiet.  For proof of this, look to the movie industry, or books.  We crave the excitement, the drama, the uncertainty- yet from a safe distance. 

Well, you can turn any moment into an adventure.  Tonight we had various (and wonderful) thunderstorms with torrential downpours.  On our way to one of our busy Wednesday night activities (cub scouts)  my son and I got caught in a downpour.  We were safely in the car, but needed to get into the nearby building.  No umbrella, with a second row parking spot, so a fair distance to sprint.

Needless to say we looked like half - drowned rats by the time we got in the door.   But it was an exciting sprint, a bold dash from the car through the chilly spring Ohio rain.  Not to mention FUN!

So my challenge to everyone, is turn something, just one thing every day, into a tiny adventure.  Get that heart rate up.  Get the positive energy flowing and feel the excitement. But don't just do it, feel it.

This is a new challenge I'm presenting to myself.  I LOVE quotes.  So today I opened a quote book, selected one at random, and am writing to fit the quote. And yes, I took the picture and edited the quote in myself.  If anyone has a quote they'd like to share, please leave a comment.  :)

Spring Cleaning - Day 3

Feeling a bit better today, so I got back to cleaning.

Helps to slow down the cleaning.

Now some of you may be wondering, "What's taking so long? How can it be that hard to clean a house?"  Well, I'm a notorious slow cleaner for one.  I always tend to have a movie on in the background. Although I find I do clean faster with just music.
In fact, I have a iPod playlist called "cleaning", filled with fast paced, up-beat music to get me moving and cleaning!.

But this time around, since I have the time, I'm doing a thorough go through cleaning.  I'm going through long lost boxes and bins and putting them either away, in a donation pile or in the trash.
All this while the spot bot is running and cleaning my carpet.

Maybe I need to add some techno lasers to my music.

 So my main focus the last couple days have been living room and my bedroom.  Since those are the worst offenders at collecting junk.  Oh boy, do I have junk. I'm a self-proclaimed pack rat.

This is why I'm trying to minimize.  Less stuff in, less stuff to pile up. And less stuff to clean around.

So cleaning tip for today, do it to the music.  Fast paced music gets you moving and your heart pumping.  Heart pumping = good cardio work out!

Hopefully after this is all done I'll take magazine worthy pictures and post them.  Then get back to a normal schedule of recipes on Friday. :)

Have a great and busy weekend!
