How I Feel...
     For this assignment we were asked to do something that we really loved to do, and write down how we felt during that moment in time.

Soooo... I took sometime for ME. Something that always puts me at peace, and really makes me happy.

I FELT:
- Weight off my shoulders
- Like I could take a deep breath and have no worries
- Complete
- Like I've been wanted to do this for so long and it had finally arrived: Calm
- Smiling
- Relaxed

Then took what I wrote on the piece of paper & stuck it under my pillow.

A week later... I took a little look at how I felt when I was really happy- and obviously I wanted to go back to the exact moment and be exactly where I wanted to be. I knew that I couldn't do that all the time, but it did feel really great to be able to take the time and do exactly what "I" wanted to. With nobody bothering me, or telling me to hurry- it was MY time, and I loved it. <3

LiMiTATiONS.

This week our assignment was to take a piece of paper and write down "limitations" that keep us from doing/saying/being ourselves. I found this a very interesting thing to do. So after reading the assignment I went home and wrote down a couple of things down. I actually found it really hard to write down limitations in my life. I knew they were there- but for some reason they wouldn't come to mind, when I actually had to write them down and confront them. 


Next, after making the list- I didn't want my boyfriend/anyone to find it- because I didn't want him/anyone else to think that something was seriously wrong with me, and I needed help or something? Ha. Also, I have three dogs- so one of them finding it and displaying it/tearing it apart, also passed though my mind. So I had to put actually in my pillow case. So no evidence was found. 


After the week, I went back and reread the list I had made. I noticed one that really stuck out, which was "Being myself". To sum it up- might be a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm a very outspoken person and the type who doesn't really like to beat around the bush. It's not going to help anyone and the certain situation will just be carried on way longer than it should. So sometimes I find myself having to bite my tongue. I never like to hurt anyone or make anyone upset, but sometimes people really need to hear the truth. 


Soooooooo.... during work- I found myself having to hold back. Not be as good as I knew I could be. To prove a point. Sadly it blew up in my face, because now "I'm mean". Please. I just didn't let the other person get the better half of me. Which with limitations, it held me back. 


Good thing or not?

55 Alive!

For this assignment we were asked to take the "5 AGAIN" project and revision it through the eyes of a 55 year old. So I thought long and hard about this- and honestly when I'm 55 I could see myself doing this...

Either taking the paper clips & glueing on some rhinestones, and really jazzing them up or even taking them and making them magnets to put on the fridge.. Being creative is probably the only thing keeping my mind going at that age :) kidding! I do feel though that I would do something like that- to really spice things up!

5 AGAIN.

For this assignment I decided to think back to when I was 5.. and all I could remember was...

When I insisted on my mother to put paper clips in my hair. I don't know what I was thinking, but I saw them in my dad's office and they were colorful- so I wanted my hair to be colorful too. So I took a handful of them & put them in my pocket, brought them home and stuck them in my hair. Needless to say- I thought it looked good :)

What I Remember..Ummm.

WELL, since I was absent two classes ago- I'm only going to be able to talk about last class (9-19-2011). One thing that really stuck with me, of course, is the ladies that presented together. They recorded a "song" I believe it was called, and yes, I laughed so hard and smiled until my cheeks hurt. I thought they both were really creative with it and really enjoyed doing the assignment. That's one thing about this class- you have to have fun and really let yourself go to even be able to do this class.

Bravo Ladies, Bravo.

I Can't See Clearly Now...

For this assignment I really didn't know where to begin. Everyday I would sit there and listen to everything I could. Now, I was doing homework- but yet my cellular phone kept going off. I was so frustrated that everyone kept calling that I put it on silence. Then it hit me.


Most people I have in my phone have a ringtone- Sooooo.. if i heard the "Sister, Sister" song, I knew it was my best friend, Emily or if "Pretty Fly for a White Guy", I knew it was my boyfriend, Michael. I didn't even need to look at my phone to see who it was- I already knew because of the sounds that were programed to their names.


So yes, I can't see clearly now.

Surprise! ! !

For my assignment I honestly couldn't think of anything that would "be more than it first appears". This one stumped me. So when walking my dog the other night, on Mass Ave, we came to a hult and I was a bit confused on the layout of the sidewalk.

A moment later, my boyfriend joined us and he started to laugh because right above me was a sign that clearly wrote what was happening in front of me.

Thank you Indianapolis. Because over on Washington Street & Fountain Square, we are unaware of what the Cultural Trail looks like. PS It's time to finished construction. THANKS A MIL!
