February 2009 Archives

This is just perfect for me. It's so rare that I send something with a stamp. Once every year when I do so, I never know how much a stamp is.

Dudes. I've been working out almost every day for the past few weeks and I haven't lost a single pound. I'm watching what I'm eating. No more wonderful carrot cake from Nature's Bin. I've cut out all juice and soda, all I drink is water and tea (at work). I can't tell if I feel better yet. So far I would have to say no. Eating carrot cake is so much more joyous than anything I've felt from working out. I'm keeping at it though.

Ummm, can't think of anything else. K has my camera again, so no photos. Hanging out with P tonight. I need to go dry my hair.

I saw a pretty bad accident this morning. There was an SUV flipped on its side on top of something... guard rail maybe? The cops and paramedics weren't even there yet, but there were probably five or six cars stopped. I always feel weird passing up situations like this, I feel like I should be stopping to help somehow, but I know there's a 99.9% chance there's nothing I could do.

I've been trying to do a better job of grooming the dogs. The plan: daily Furminator brushing, daily fish oil, Dremeling nails a few times a week and monthly baths. Betsy is shedding like crazy right now, she's losing her thick, dry coat finally and is starting to look sleek and shiny like Miz. Dremeling is going well, too. Betsy's nails were super long when she came here and I think within a few weeks she might be walking silently.

I'm now following Shaq on Twitter. I know it sounds crazy, but he's funny.

"To all twitterers , if u c me n public come say hi, we r not the same we r from twitteronia, we connect"

Love it.

I think I might have really bad tires for driving in snow. I almost crashed three times today, and I didn't see anyone else having problems. It also takes me forever to get traction to accelerate, meanwhile, cars in the other lane are zipping past me. Three times!

So there's a baby shower tomorrow during lunch for a woman I work with. I have never been to a baby shower. EVER. Well, I might have went to something for my sister, I can't remember. I know nothing about gift registries other than people who are getting a shower get to make a big list of things they want and people buy them for them. I've known about this shower for at least a few weeks, but I waited until today to do something about it. I don't know what I was thinking. That I could order it online and it would be shipped to her house? I wish. No, instead I had to go to the store and buy something. Why can't you just give the person money? They already know what you're going to get them, what a weird tradition.

Ha, she had some crazy $200+ breast pump on her list! I do not want to be the person buying her a breast pump.

Anyway, I'm venturing out to eat with some friends tonight, I hope the weather isn't awful.

I found my old TA's blog today: Montegraphia.

It really makes me miss going to school and being around people who get excited about fairy shrimp. I need to go down this spring and hang out with Jess. I feel like going back to school.

Yay:

• 2 minutes from work
• 2 minutes from the gym
• 2 minutes from the library
• 5 minutes from 90
• 5 minutes from Thai House
• In a cool renovated old building with art studios and a gallery
• Only have to pay for electric (even WiFi is free)
• Landlord is cool

Boo:

• Don't think there are washer/dryer hookups
• $150 deposit per pet
• No more Nature's Basket Bin on the way home :(

I'm going to look at it Saturday. I need to decide if I can live without a washer and dryer.

This version has taken me for-ever. I know it's nothing fancy or beautiful, but I rewrote everything from scratch for maybe the first time in eight years... so it took a while to get things working. There are a few things I want to add as far as usability is concerned, but I wanted to get this up before the week started. The boxes on the right are a little funky in IE... luckily most of my visitors use Firefox. ;)

For the record, I think How Soon is Now has to be the worst Smiths song, I cannot stand it (it just came on).

Kory has had my camera for the past three weeks or so, and I just got it back today. So hopefully I can start shooting again soon, especially while the weather is somewhat warm.

Anyway, if you find anything wrong with the site, drop me a comment. I haven't looked at it on a Mac yet, so who knows what might be wrong.
