Lol I dont plan on wearing a bikini this summer. I might force myself to get into a tankini with some shorts though lol.

Thanks, I will give that a try!!

It's not mandatory that you contact all your teammates - it's just kinda a fun way to tell them you are around in their diaries -what you give out comes back to you tenfold


The Week 1 Challenge
(Remember the challenge officially starts Sunday but feel free to start early if you want to)

April begins National Humor Month, National Anxiety Month and April 1st is also April Fools Day... So you're mission this week, since pranking people, in a good humored way is fun, and having fun reduces anxiety you have to prank someone in a perfectly legal, and non-hurtful sort of way (Kind of how like my dear colleague duct taped my phone when I was off at a meeting)
Report back the prank and laugh.

April is also national garden month so challenge 2 is to spend 30 minutes at least 5 days this week -outside enjoying nature, doesnt matter if you live in a city or the country, just get out and go for a walk.. Report in that you did this -and bonus points get awarded.

Hi everyone!

I'm computer challenged at the moment, so if I don't get right back to you, don't feel bad. I'm hoping to have it fixed soon.

I'm so ready for the pranking challenge!!! Right up my alley.

Good luck to us all, but you know especially us on this team! :P

Quick question for sldiver & loseiandstayoff... do you have diaries yet? I tried to stop by & say hi, but couldn't find them...

so just so you know you were thought of! Good luck.

I would love to feel comfortable in a bkini on my 30th as well! Which is also this year, September 20th.

We can do it!

Here I am! My apologizes in advance.... I don't usually have access to the internet on the weekends, but I will be checking in daily throughout the week. First 2 challenges seem pretty straight forward. Just have think of a prank for April fools.....hmm. As for getting outside, with spring now in full effect, I try to walk every lunch hour for 30-45mins.

GO TEAM!

Oh I am horrible at pranks lol. I will probably have to spend the rest of today and tomorrow just trying to think up one lame prank lol. But i'll try my best lol. The enjoying nature for 30 minutes I can do easily. I actually have a pretty campus- lots of squirrels and birds and such, so I could easily walk around campus, maybe take my new camera along and try to get some pretty shots. Maybe I'll even get to add some pics to the picture thread! lol.
