Lap Top Fun

I am getting seriously addicted to the laptop !!! Hubby threatened to return my new ruby/diamond bracelet for the laptop....LOL. I work on a computer all day at my desk and never really wanted to get on at night. Now that I can sit on a couch with my feet up computing --- I'm addicted. I do all kinds of goofy stuff from reading blogs to downloading new music onto my ipod to chatting with friends on Yahoo, etc. Oh well --- it's a lot of fun and interesting. I just have to be careful not to take too much time away from my usual night time activities.

Fun with the New Laptop

This is so cool --- right now I'm sitting here with the laptop --- headset --- listening to music, working on my Blog --- Yahoo messaging --- OMG We're becoming super techies!! Love the new computer. Today was such a weird day --- starting the morning at a Memorial Service for my (Suzie's) brother-in-laws sister who died of cancer at 54. Breast Cancer --- we didn't know her well, but had spent time together over the past 20 yrs or so. It was very sad -- lots of weeping. Was in Chatham where Suzie grew up. A bit nostalgic afterward riding thru town.
When we got home and started to relax --- copying new disks, etc., deciding if we wanted to go over to the gym and work out when we got a phone call. Where are you? We're supposed to be at Del's aunts birthday party (about 10 min. away) she is 91!!! Her son gave us the wrong day for the party....LOL. So, at least we were dressed up for the Memorial Service and went to the birthday party. Fun. Now home REALLY RELAXING

58 Degrees

We broke a record today --- I walked 4.5 walk/jog today. The sun is shining and it is just a wonderful day. I'm thinking of signing up with Team in Training for some help with training for a Half Marathon in Lake Placid this June. I'm concerned about trying to do fund raising, but would love to have some help with training and comraderie with at least one other runner in my area. We'll see...there is an informational seminar tomorrow.

warmer temps

They are saying that we are about to break some record temps over the next couple of days !! Yippee. 46 Degrees today -- and a little sun at least when I went out to run. I'm really looking forward to at least getting outside for a couple days and then back to the Treadmill after that. Need to get back to the early a.m. workouts at the gym. Have not been that motivated over the holidays.

Cold Weather

Today started out at about 25 degrees and it has gone steadily downhill. It is now 8!!!!! BRRR. Went out at lunch time for a walk --- the city is tough. Half the landlords clear their sidewalks, and half do not. Very slippery, and then as soon as you step off of a corner there is slush a couple of inches thick. The only saving grace is the park in the middle of the city where they have a holiday lights show which they keep plowed and clear this time of year. Tomorrow is only supposed to get into the teens -- UGH. Going to try to get to the gym in the a.m. bright and early. Wish me luck.!
