Today was pretty boring. I got a bit back into my routine. I made sure that I submitted at least three articles to Associated Content and I actually ended up submitting five! Here's hoping that none of them will be rejected! Sometimes, if things are too close to other stuff found online, they don't want to have it posted because it may be plagiarism. I can understand that. It's not a big deal to me, but I hope it doesn't happen this time.
I also worked on ChaCha for a little bit. I have just under five dollars in my ChaCha account right now. I'm not sure if some was from beforehand or not, but it's not bad at the moment as long as I remember to keep getting onto ChaCha and answering questions!
It may or may not end up going to me as there are guides all over the United States and I don't know if I'll be working at any given time, but if you have a question, you can text it to 242242 and a guide using the Internet will help you find the answer to your question. I've used ChaCha to find addresses. I also like to ask silly questions and then just random facts that I'd like to find when I'm not near a computer.
ChaCha is completely free to use. The only charges that you'll get are charges that your company will have for your text messaging, but you may not have charges if incoming text messages aren't charged in your plan or you have unlimited texting.
You can also ask ChaCha by voice by calling 1-800-Cha-Cha or 1-800-2-242-242. However, the answers still come in text messages as well as the confirmation that ChaCha got your question.
The one more interesting part of the day was that Briana challenged me to write something with one of two phrases in it. I asked her if I got anything if I did it. She said that she'd wash a load of my clothes. I don't know if I'll end up writing something or not, but if I do, it'll be posted over at
bid_fiction (as long as I remember my password).
We looked into moving companies because Briana is going to move into her dorm on Aug. 22! That's so close now! However, all the companies seem to be quite expensive!
Then I got out of the houes by going to my mom's eye doctor appointment and sitting in the waiting room. Then we went to Target so Briana could get the graphic calculator that she wanted. (She's currently playing with it - as in playing games on it that she's downloaded.)
I got some ice cream because it was so hot! When mint chocolate chip ice cream is around and it is so hot, it's pretty good to eat it as it is nice and cooling!
I also had a drink and got a refill. Coke, then Dr. Pepper.
Anyway, I've been trying to get my stamina back up after being sick and trying to get back into exercising so I lose some weight. Yesterday, I did two sets of pilates push ups. The first set was of 10 and then the next set of 12. Today, I also ended up doing two sets. The first was of 14 and the second, 16. Maybe tomorrow I'll get up to 18 and 20. Once I'm comfortable doing 20 all the time, I'll start adding another exercise, I think. I'm not sure if I want to add jumping jacks, stair steps, or curl-ups/sit-ups. I'm thinking that I don't really want to do jumping jacks, though, so it'll be either the stair steps or the curl-ups/sit-ups.
Yeah, I know, you're really interested in my fitness routine. Probably not, but hey, that's what's going on in my life right now.
p.s. - Do you know from where I kinda punned my journal subject for this entry?
