SqushUp Hour

Yes. SqushUp Hour. This term was birthed by Pushup and Squat Hour. It's a little something I implemented here in the Creative at work. As I hoped, it's slowly been growing and increasing attendance outside of our department as well.

The concept originated here: Pushup Hour. Every hour on the hour, you take that hour number (in military time) and choose a multiplier. For me, it was 2. You do that number of pushups at that hour. Of course, we're working here, so that takes too much time, and hours come too frequently!

Sooo... it became 3pm. More specifically, it became 30 pushups at 3pm (broken up into whatever sets you need, or done straight as one set). This was a great start. But wanting to make this actually increase and benefit those attending, it's grew to 30 pushups, and 15 squats. Now, it's at 30-50 pushups, 20-30 squats. Yeah, you can imagine a buncha people standing around with their arms out straight doing squats. It's pretty great.

Anyway, here are a few bad shots to give you a visual of SqushUp hour. Hey, if you like it, implement it too and I'd love to hear about it :}



In case you were wondering, yes it is paying off. Being a dancer, I'm noticing how it's starting to help there, and the pushups are getting easier.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to start stretching.

"Hug Me! It's my Birthday!"

Today was my coworker Jaime's birthday. It was Meg and my job to come up with 'the plan.' Something silly and yummy, my boss said (or something like that). So, after lots of planning, this is how it went down:


Jaime's required birthday sign. Rule: She has to wear it all day here at the office.
Even the dude at the restaurant at lunch gave her a hug as we were walking out! Success!

Birthday Candy for all at the office! Rule: You have to give a hug to the birthday girl! Bowl's already getting low!

Jaime's husband Adam works here too! He got her beautiful flowers!!!

An awesome suprise lunch in which our Creative team sneaked out in groups to make it unsuspicious. She had no idea! James the bossman told her they were having a working lunch to discuss the projects that were in works. She prepared till late at night last night for the meeting! We even ended up with an awesome rum bread pudding on the house!

 Red Velvet Cake! It had to wait, since we were all full from the lunch!


It all turned out as planned! Weee! What type of birthday suprises do you do for those you like/love/care about/work with?

Fly Away

Sometimes, you just have to take a break from all the mundane, so my coworker and friend Meg and I decided to do just that during our lunch break! One other coworker found us, so we made her join in, OF COURSE.

Stop & Dream

My place to show and share and capture inspiration, happy moments, nuggets of joy and positivity. I am hardly one who sees rainbows in every moment, but what if I did? What if I could always make the most of every time?

I am wounded, scarred and broken, and more than anything, scared to face the world with my heart open wide. But in my head I dream, I chase whims. This is my slow progression of sharing that world in my head. Sharing the child-like innocent dreams I have.


That being said... today was a super special day at work: I got to draw creatures and animals and monsters FOR WORK. Rare.

Enjoy some of todays brain-childs!
