Snow on the ground? Check!
Sniffling with a cold? Check!

Must be winter.

(but I actually kinda like it)

Today's little-happy: cinnamon and cocoa on my cappuccino.

I suck at Christmas shopping, but I got myself some nice things.

It's been a while since I posted. I've been hectic-crazy-busy and I'm not even sure exactly with what. I know some influences have had me out shopping and having FUN (+social, +retail, +/-food), and I've had errands (-quiet time) and unexpected plans (+social, -quiet time) crop up.

I went back to the treadmill tonight for the first time since ... well, it's been a while.  I managed to run for a whole 13 minutes, which is about 12 minutes more than I anticipated, and is over a mile.  All in all, I was on it for just over a half hour (sticking to my old goals of at least 30 minutes, 2 miles, and 200 Calories).  I have showered ( Read more... )

Southampton and Reading.  The vacation continues!  Plenty of shopping done and an abundance of walking.

Today I spent the day actually in London.  Just to clarify, I am actually staying about an hour outside London and had to take a day trip into the city.  I met up with my two friends, R and S and we spent the day exploring.  We went to just about all the major tourist attractions.  In the order that I remember them:

• Buckingham Palace
• Big Ben
• The ( Read more... )
