Yell I'm Captain Basch in public

Well we had to go over to Lowe's to order some carpet for the new house, so this was a good opportunity for this challenge!

Yell I'm Captain Basch in public
For those who don't know, this is from the game Final Fantasy XII, where a character yells I'm Captain Basch Von Ronsenburg from Dalmasca! So today while waiting for someone to show up at the counter, that's what I yelled. Three people looked at me, including one who turned out to help us with our carpet.

It was fun enough!

Translate sentences in to many languages and back to English to see the end results

Okay so I had a big day and I'm still pooped from the long weekend, so this is a fun easy challenge I'm going to try!

Translate sentences in to many languages and back to English to see the end results
Here is my starting sentence:
I love cheese and I live in a cabin in the woods with my bear friend who eats a lot of ice cream.

English to Italian:
Amo il formaggio e vivo in una capanna nei boschi con il mio amico orso che mangia un sacco di gelato.

Italian to Polish:
Miłość ser i mieszkam w domku w lesie z mój przyjaciel Miś, że zjada dużo lodów.

Polish to Swahili:
Upendo jibini na kuishi katika cabin katika Woods na rafiki yangu Teddy Bear kwamba anakula mengi ya barafu cream.

Swahili to Dutch:
Liefde kaas en wonen in een hut in het bos met mijn vriend Teddy Bear die veel ijs eet.

And finally Dutch to English:
Love cheese and living in a cabin in the woods with my friend Teddy Bear that eat a lot of ice.

See, it can be a lot of fun, especially if you find the right sentence to translate too. Give it a try if you're ever bored and want some laughs

Learn how to tie a tie

So I packed up a good chunk of closet today which reminded me to give this challenge a go!

Learn how to tie a tie
My boyfriend helped me with this but he was a bit frustrated because he felt he wasn't getting it absolutely perfect. But I thought it looked great so I was happy with the results! I don't know how much I'll remember without practice, but it was fun to learn!

Go 24 hours without Internet

Well I spent a lot of yesterday watching my boyfriend race, packing up a trailer, and driving for about 6 hours, so this was a good day for this challenge!

Go 24 hours without Internet
I didn't have Internet access until I got home late last night so this one was a breeze. I was pretty occupied all day anyway. It did feel good to not have to stress about doing my regular online stuff and just focusing on other things!

Also Saturday's challenge is posted up, you can find it in the index!

High five a stranger

I am back from my weekend away. It was quite a long hot weekend, but it was for my boyfriend and he had fun so I am happy for him!

High five a stranger
We went out to dinner on Saturday night and had a very friendly waitress. So my boyfriend, myself, and my boyfriend's father all decided to give her a high five! His father is a pretty high maintenance customer so we figured doing something positive (plus a big tip of course) could do something to perk her up a bit!

These was one of the challenges I've been having the most trouble with so I'm glad I finally accomplished it!

Go for an early morning walk

Alrighty so some news first, I will be gone this weekend so updates won't come until either Sunday or Monday!

Go for an early morning walk
I'm heading to the race track with my boyfriend and we are at his work getting ready, so since I was up early anyway, I brought alone my iPod, some water, and went for a nice little morning walk around the area. I'm glad I did it before it got too hot!

Join a forum specializing in depression

Okay so lately with my problems sleeping and feeling so exhausted, I've been more emotionally drained as well, so I figured it would be a good time for this challenge

Join a forum specializing in depression
As some of you may already know, depression is something I struggle with. I wouldn't say its been at its worst lately, but it will still be nice to have a resource available when I do need it.

I found a depression forum called depressionforums.org. It seemed to be fairly active, which is a positive if I ever need some responses to something. Hopefully it will be a good resource for the future!
