a new month a new challenge

31-03-2008 by rialeilani

Well technically, we are starting the last day of March but we want to start on a Monday. Oh dear, and when I say “we” I mean Irish Cailin and I. It’s our second, month long, photo blog challenge. Here are the rules:

  • You have to blog a photo every day
  • It has to be something of a certain color (blue, green, yellow, red)
  • It has to be one of the 7 items previously established (food, nature, clothing/fabric, text, office supplies, household item, wild card)
  • Each week you have to capture an item in each of these categories

This week’s color is blue and today’s category is office supplies:

Feel free to join in, we’d love to see what you can capture. The more the merrier :)

bloggers I heart

by rialeilani

It’s amazing how inspiring reading blogs has been to me.

I had a couple private blogs that I would randomly update, but it wasn’t enough. Since I’ve started this blog, and really started blogging, I’ve realized how much I’ve missed writing every day. I know some of it’s mundane stuff, you know the daily grind, but other posts are personal or entertaining (I hope) and I love every single minute of sharing stuff with the new people I’ve “met”.

I know I really need to update my blogroll, because seriously, my google reader is overflowing! SleepyJane’s is one of my favorite bloggers, and you should totally check her blog out if you haven’t already. And on this rainy, crappy Michigan morning, she decided to award me! (This is some exciting stuff, it definitely turned my Monday around. Thanks SleepyJanes!)

And now, here’s a list in no particular order that I’d like to pass this award on to. I hope it gets your week off to a good start :)

what kind of thinker are you?

30-03-2008 by rialeilani

Your Thinking is Concrete and Random


You are naturally inquisitive and curious.

You’re excited by new ideas, and you are a true independent thinker.You are interested in what is possible. You like the process of discovery.

You are often experimenting, challenging old ideas, and inventing new concepts.

Rules, restrictions, and limit don’t really work for you.

You have to do things your own way, and you can’t be bothered to explain yourself.

And this is why I made sure I got my ass out of bed by 8am this morning:

Barry
Barry, he’s a black spaniel mix. He’s sweet and gentle and I can’t stand going a week without seeing him. I really hope he finds a home soon, he deserves one. His owners dropped him off because they couldn’t care for him any more :( It was a great day to be at the shelter. Barry and I spent almost 45 mins outside in the sunshine.

Today was C♥’s birthday! So to celebrate we went to lunch at Ashley’s to check out their beer selection:
ashley’s signbeer
I had a raspberry beer that was made right in Marshall Michigan. Chuck had Boddington’s (London) & McEwans (Scotland). We had Chicago style deep dish pizza with mushrooms, onions and banana peppers. Delicious!

One more thing, we took the baby doggies for a walk:
dog walking

What makes the walk even better is Nani pooed right in the middle of the street and when C♥ picked it up…a piece fell into the palm of his hand…*snickers*

Participate in the Earth Hour tomorrow at 8pm local time. Light some candles, pull out a board game or spend some time in the darkness with your honey. It can’t hurt to save some CO2.

Another great A2 sign:

If you can’t see it, click the image to make it bigger. They have a website too in case you were wondering, like I was, what exactly a company named that sold.

a final farewell

Kind of a downer of a personal post. I’m finally letting go completely. The words came rushing to me as I was driving to class and I had just enough time to get them down here before class started. There is no anger only peace now. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear rialeilani,

Please exit your fabulous imaginary life and rejoin reality.

Thank you,

management


Dear management:

Today I need to take a personal confinement day. I am not fit for human contact. Though I may be sitting at my desk, my mind is residing in aforementioned imaginary life. It’s much more exciting and fulfilling. Hopefully, I will be able to face reality tomorrow.

Sincerely,

rialeilani

welcome!
