Stickers

If you came to my house you would see that I have a large sticker chart on my fridge.  No there aren't any children in my household.  But I still find stickers extremely motivating.  
Besides the motivation of the sticker, I also promise myself rewards for completing a certain number.  It's like playing bingo by yourself.   I haven't made it this month... perhaps next month I can conquer enough of the "natural man" to earn the carrot in front of me.

Lunch made easy

I am spending more and more time on Pinterest and I found this idea there.  Make ahead salads in a jar.  Dressing in the bottom, followed by topping and then the spinach.  When you are ready to eat, you just shake it all up and serve.
Easy, delicious and healthy... pick me!
 My main concern was that since I was the only one eating, would the salad make it to the end of the week without getting gross.  To my surprise and pleasure, the spinach leaves made it to the end of the week no problem.  The peas, tasted fine but looked icky because of the vinegar in the dressing.  I will put them higher in the jar next time.
I am excited about keeping this healthy habit... it fits so well into my hit the snooze button one more time and then rush around in the morning lifestyle.  
Win, win.

Chocolate Exhibit

I organized a trip to the traveling Chocolate museum exhibit for FHE.  It was supposed to be epic.  It was three rooms, where the biggest room was the photo zone. 
South Korean museums frequently have a room for you to take pictures of yourself with themed elements from the exhibit.
This is just goes to show that not all adventures in living abroad end in success.  But that's not a reason to cancel the photo op!
