So, Tuesday, Mama stentoriansista and I went for a run out in the drizzle in Virginia Beach. I got about 2 and a half minutes into a jog before I twisted my left ankle pretty badly. And, of course, once you have badly twisted an ankle on a jogging trail, you have to walk the mile and a bit back to the car to get home. In what was now the rain ( Read more... )

Sheep on the right, injuries on the left?

So, we had a big meeting for staffing a work event a week from Saturday and there weren't any chairs. So, I sat on the floor. I put my left hand out on the way down and my wrist cracked when I put some weight on it to sit. It's a little red and it hurts now, but not swollen, which makes me wonder if I did something to it when I sat. Which would ( Read more... )

So, I'm running a 5K over Thanksgiving. Don't ask me how I got into this, but it involves stentoriansista's mom and a lot of guilt over my fat ass (the guilt is mine, not from Mama stentoriansista, who is a lovely human being). The problem is, of course, that I am incredibly out of shape. Walked up the escalator at Foggy Bottom this morning (because it's broken, as usual, ( Read more... )

The Washington Post Express Keeps Offending Me.

kestrel127 Sep 02, 2009 09:29

So, a few months ago I wrote this entry about CSAs and how annoyed I was that the Washington Post Express chose to quote this entry about CSAs when they hadn't posted anything prior and why are they raining on my parade, wah wah wah.

And then, this week, the food section ran an article about CSAs - one of the writers wrote about her experiences ( Read more... )

I haven't updated in a week. I feel like I should.

Um...

I've been canning. That's about it. I canned spaghetti sauce, peach salsa and pickled peaches. stentoriansista and mel21clc made peach handpies. We made raspberry sorbet. I still have a veggie drawer full of tomatoes, half a peck of apples and half a bushel of peaches. Since we're going out of town for the ( Read more... )

Public Service Announcement, Part II

I just realized I have 4 minutes left on my phone until the next billing cycle. This should be shocking to all of you since I almost never use the full amount of minutes. Ever. Or even come close. But, I had an hour and a half phone call with my mother the other week and with stentoriansista out of town for almost two weeks, there was a lot of phone going on ( Read more... )
