Ungrateful for the Challenge Masters

I think I got some half-hearted attempts at challenges this week.

I got two last night, one from a roommate and one from another roommate's boyfriend. Yep, that's right, it has come to pawning off their Masterly duties on significant others. I almost expect to get a phone call from someone's mom next week challenging me to make up my bed every morning (instant failure no doubt).

The boyfriend even made a point to call and harass me because they didn't get a thank you response. I told him it's because I thought they were weak challenges and I expected better. I didn't get anything better so here they are:
  • Smile at ten strangers a day and ask how their day is going.
  • Pinch myself every time I start to complain and be grateful for what I have.
  • Do not spend any money this week.

Bleh. I am not thrilled with any of those. Not that I should necessarily love my challenge, I just feel that the creative juices are perhaps running a bit low.

So I choose gratefulness. I guess I should start by being grateful that I even have these Challenge Masters at all (hopefully not for long).

And I won't complain. Even about crazy ex-boyfriends.
