I am now officially a year older than I was yesterday.  No big plans scheduled.  When I came in this morning I had warm brownies, dark chocolate dove squares, some biscotti cookies and a b-day card waiting for me.  Ah....nothing says celebration like a sugar coma.  Hehe. 

Finally we have the official start of Fall.  Time to go cider mill hunting.  I like to find the perfect unpasturized cider.  I might even indulge in a fresh, warm cinnamon sugar doughnut if I'm feeling sassy.  Pretty soon it will be cool enough to enjoy a long ride on my bike.  Now all I need is the ambition to do it on the weekends.

Still hauling out the balance board nearly daily.  I've gotten a routine down to simple yoga poses (half-moon, warrior, chair), strength exercises (single leg twist, lunges) and aerobic (6 min. hula, advanced step and expert rhythm boxing).  By the time I go through everything the Wii guy suggests I take a break.  No problem there.

My sister and I went halfsies on a Wii and Wii Fit.  Man, those hula hoops are a workout.  I'm also reminded daily about how incredibly nongraceful I am in trying to do yoga poses.  Curse you bendy little trainer girly!  All in all, a worthy purchase so far.  Gets me doing more activity than I normally would which is good.

Yes, yes.  I'm sure you're wondering where I've been.  Uninspired really.   Thank god I'm not a writer by trade.  The pantry would be home to moths only.

Not much going on really.  I'm currently reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.  This part of a book club thingy at church.  It's the first time I've read a book for a club/discussion so I'll so ( Read more... )

So yesterday it was a balmy high 50s outside.  I came home from work, opened up the house and sat on the porch for the first time this season.  Soooooo nice.  Naturally today is very windy and cooler and there's a chance of snow again later this week.  Why isn't it Spring yet?

I had to go to the dentist last week to REPLACE AN OLD FILLING.  I was unaware they got old but when they sit in your mouth for 15+ years it's a little wearing.  The last one was the typical silver that had chipped a bit and then leaked into my tooth.  Since it was in the back I didn't really notice it.  The doctor put my tooth on the office cam ( Read more... )

I just read an article about some company that had an ad campaign for "Crispy Frickin' Chicken."  The target audience was, of course, younger America.  Uptight older America naturally complained about this obscene language.  HUH?  Are we censoring censored language now?  Fudge!  I have to watch my gosh darn tongue even when it's (sorf of) clean?   ( Read more... )

Apparently, February 29 has historically been a Sadie Hawkins type day where the womenfolk have the opportunity to ask the menfolk to marry them. According to old custom, if the menfolk turn down the womenfolk they are to then compensate said womenfolk for their broken heart by giving them monetary (say, a one pound note) or gift compensation (a ( Read more... )

It's still snowing as I type.  The total will probably be around 6 or 7 inches by the time it's all said and done.  I'm not really looking forward to coming home from work and firing up the snowblower but...I don't really have a choice in the matter.  awwww
