We’re into our second week of blog posts. *weak cheer* Today’s prompt is: 8. How do you conserve energy?… and I’m not really sure how to tackle that one.
I prefer to be like that cat over there… a couch potato. I spend a lot of time on the couch, but it’s not just all watching TV (there’s YouTube, too). Ever since getting my job at Michael’s (yes, I’m the ironic guy… a Michael working at Michael’s), I’ve been putting in the miles by walking all over the store. An average, 4-hour shift, will tend to net me about 5-8000 steps. A day where I’m on the floor stocking, it can easily add up to a 10K steps day (that my phone insists is what I should strive for every single day).

Okay… today’s prompt is: 5. Tell us about your July 4th celebration. Don’t forget the pictures! If I write about my “celebration”, you guys are gonna fall asleep… because that’s what I did. The only thing I think you could call celebratory about my evening was grilling up some steaks. Other than that, I went to bed with the sound of explosions going off all around me. I’m so fun.

Every year, a local jeweler hosts something called a Diamond Dash. It’s essentially a scavenger hunt, cleverly disguised as an opportunity to win a diamond ring. You pay to enter, and using your phone (to get SMS alerts), and any other means (i.e. bikes/scooters/segways/hoverboards/feet/etc…), you run your butt ragged around a downtown metropolitan area (complete with regular traffic) to find clues and solve riddles, which in turn, earns you points to possibly get a chance to win some cool stuff.
Since I’ve been having a few rough weeks, I figured I’d give y’all a sample of my writing. I can’t remember exactly when I wrote this… just that I was in quite the mood when I did. I was feeling the pressure of working 72 hour weeks and still barely being able to make it, when I wondered what it would be like to win the lottery (who hasn’t wondered?).
Time for another week’s blog post… *checks the calendar*… on the last day of the week. Perfect. I dug through my past blog posts and realized that I’ve already talked about 
I was crocheting today, and realized that it’s a lot like writing a book (in ways). I took up crochet as a hobby after my son was born. I was looking at being home for long stretches of time with nothing to do (I hadn’t taken up writing yet), so I originally jumped to knitting.
