On the Ball

My friend Tara and I implemented the balance ball as our desk chairs last week. Apparently, it helps to strengthen your core and helps with posture. I figured I'd give a whirl and so far, I'm loving it. It's actually comfortable to sit on for longer periods of time. And if it helps me to get some sort of ab workout while I sit reading e-mail--even better.

I actually had a student come in to the office and say "It's true, you are sitting on a ball" His girlfriend had told him and he wanted to verify. Proof that it's a good conversation starter at the very least.
Also, I wanted to share the bag-o-the-moment. It's a simple tote from Old Navy and I HAD to have it. Not only for its message of sustainability, but because Green is my favorite color. For obvious reasons, of course.

Happy last day of September!
