2 days in and feeling good
Tweet So far I’ve walked 5 miles (not all that impressive but it’s still something) and swam 1600 or 1700 yards. I need to get a lap counter. It’s hard to keep track of all those laps. While swimming I realized that I have lost enough weight to make my bathing suit fit a little [...]
First run
Tweet This morning was the first day of training for the marathon. I didn’t really run so much as walk with two friends. Hopefully on Thursday I’ll be running. I think we decided to walk because we weren’t sure we could keep up the running pace. Tomorrow after work, I’m heading to the pool to [...]
The Christmas list is here!
Tweet So this is mainly for mom and dad, but if you’re feeling like you need to get me something, I won’t stop you. A gift certificate to Sky Nursery for next years veggie crops! My farm hand, Ruben will be helping me tend to the crops. I think even little Levi might be lending [...]
what a weekend!
Tweet I started this weekend early Saturday morning – 5am. I volunteered as a swim angel for the Cottage Lake tri. It was raining and cold. But we got out there and it went great. One gal had a hard time. Actually I don’t think she could do anything but the doggie paddle. Not a [...]
I haven't been taken hostage by spiders
Tweet Thankfully. I’ve been doing nothing but working, reading and knitting. Honestly I’m just waiting until tomorrow for the season premieres of The Office, Community, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Parks and Recreation. I’ve also been trying to figure out what to do for a headboard and I came across this headboard. I love [...]
Almost there
Tweet Friday night I felt pretty good about the state of my apartment. Laundry was done, the living room was clean (minus the vacuuming), the kitchen was looking good and the bathroom was clean. I headed to bed and dreamland. At around 3 am Jimbo decided he needed to get under the covers with me, [...]
I'm so happy this week is over
Tweet It was a long week. I think because I had to go into work on Monday… and found a small flood in our warehouse. That was really the only bad part of the week. But for some reason the rest of the week dragged like a toddler’s favorite blanket on the long walk to [...]
it's that pie time of year
Tweet A couple of days ago, I was emailed a link to Art of the Pie. I love pie. And more importantly I love making pies. My grandmother used to make pies every weekend for my grandpa and my dad. So I’m all too familiar with how difficult pie making can be. As soon as [...]
It's almost done!
Tweet The new blog/website is almost done! A few more finishing touches and it will be ready for the world to see. But until then, I’ll keep posting here.
the 2 mile swim, the day after
Tweet I’m a little achy and I think a hot bath is in order tonight. Tomorrow I’m doing nothing but taking it easy and a little weeding out of more stuff. And that’s it. I don’t need to get myself over worked here. While I was swimming I got to thinking (since there was a [...]
