Bike-to-work week
So, I already posted an update on facebook, but I wanted to elaborate here. This past week was bike-to-work week in my county. I started biking to work about a year ago, and it was miserable. I went on practice rides. I carried a book bag. I had to walk up the hill most of the time. And the most I ever did was ride 2 times in one week. I even lied ( Read more... ) -
How much have you spent on weight loss?
I saw this question over at 3fatchicks and it really made me think. Let's look at what I have purchased ( Read more... ) -
It's only Tuesday!?
I'm super un-motivated right now. I busted my butt on Saturday with a bike ride and again last night with weight lifting and running. And today, I'm just barely moving. I'm only slightly sore, but my allergies are ridiculous this year. I've never really suffered from seasonal allergies before. I honestly could go to bed right now, and probably stay ( Read more... ) -
Charity
Here's an update to my list of things to-do in 2010, specifically for donating more. Every month, I set a budget to donate to charity. I've been good so far and still have one day left in March to settle this month. Here's what I've been up to:
Smitten by Kittens: This is the local pet rescue where Moody came from. These people are incredible and do ( Read more... ) -
Awww Darla
I tried to spray the saline solution in Darla's nose. All I succeeded in doing was to spray her in the face. She moved just enough between the moment the nozzle was in her nose and when I squeezed. Still though, this just reconfirms how sweet of a dog she is. Even though I just blasted her right eye with saline, she'll still come right back to me ( Read more... ) -
Darla stuff
So here's the scoop on the doggie. She's been diagnosed with something that means in layman's terms, "really frustrating thing with inflammation of the nose." It doesn't look like cancer is a possibility after all. We are still bouncing between a virus caused inflammation and fungus caused inflammation. And instead of scoping her and costing us ( Read more... ) -

California Visit
I absolutely love traveling and at one point envisioned writing more about my travels. Sigh, where will I ever find the time to keep up with all of my hobbies? Two weeks ago, I was able to go to California for the first time and see about an hour and a half of coastline between LA and Pt. Mugu. I drove up Pacific Coast Highway 1 and saw a few ( Read more... ) -
Update on Darla
It's been about a month since I posed my original question, whether or not prong collars hinder the progress of clicker training, and I just wanted to write an update and ask another batch of questions. The first thing we did was switch to the easy-walk harness and forget that we owned a prong collar. And after another week of good walks and one ( Read more... ) -
Rex's Story
In 2004, I bought two guinea pigs. I couldn't have a cat where I lived and I was desperate for a pet. I had guinea pigs growing up and was suckered into the cuteness of these two little guys. I bought them from a pretty horrible pet store, to save them, but now I know better. I won't even go into a store like that again. As my two little boys grew ( Read more... )
