get lost. part II.

today, we took another outdoor adventure. this time on bicycles. :]
when we got home, i could barely walk.
helix was ridiculously exhausted as well. i so wish that my camera battery wasn't dead because helix sprawled out by his water bowl would have been a fabulous moment to capture. it's not often that he gets so worn out.
meanwhile, james was fine. in fact, he was so unaffected by the adventure that he had to go to the gym tonight to get a proper workout in. ha.
i guess i have quite a ways to go before i am back in shape.

i also made good progress in cleaning up the soon-to-be craft room. james put the desk together on tuesday and that night, he issued me a challenge: throw 5 things away every day.
i've tried this type of thing before, but generally i had issued the challenge to myself, so there was really no means to keep myself on track after lets say... oh... the very first day. ha. there was also the request of my dad to have a 50% crap reduction in this house by his last birthday. his next birthday is coming at the end of may. see... my parents always ask me to clean things up, but they never really get mad when i don't. so. i don't.
but now. james is keeping me on track. :]
last night, we were both super tired and i hadn't thrown my 5 items away yet, so he said that i could just do 10 today. well. tonight when he left for the gym he told me i'd better have a whole bag of trash by the time he got back. i said something along the lines of "you said only 10!!" and he said "it doesn't matter. i want at least 20 now." i guess i got penalized for being a day late. ha.
but.
i actually did have a bag of trash by the time he got back! i have a lot more sorting and purging to do, but it feels good to be making progress. i just want that room done and looking cute so bad.

ok. this weekend is going to be full of studying, but james and i decided we might try to catch another matinee tomorrow. i'm going to go check the movie listings and head to bed. happy friday!
