Snow?

Well the forecast for tomorrow calls for snow and ice... I am happy that I might get to stay home but, aprehensive that I might get my power knocked out. That would kinda be a good and bad thing... no work! (BUT) no play :(

Why won't the insanity stop!! If I don't want to talk I am NOT talking... how hard is that to understand!

Halfway there...

At least I can say that much. All the materials to finish up the computer room have been purchased. Now I just need to paint the trim, rip the floor out, put the new floor in, and finish painting... simple enough right!? I wish...

Boy did the local hockey team stomp the visiting team. To be fair it was only the visiting team's 4th game where we have played 5 times as much. At least it is good to win every once in a while!

Here comes the weekend...

Not much planned for the weekend. Heading out tonight on the town to see what trouble I can get into. Tomorrow will probably be a day to catch up on all of my tv homework... I have quite a bunch of it! I really want to do more on the computer room but, I feel like I am kinda strapped for cash. Who knows... maybe I will bite the bullet and just do it. (It definitely needs to be done!)

I have found a mouse living in the house (I am calling him mikey). I went to Lowes today to get a trap but, couldn't bring myself to buy it. Afterall, what is he hurting? He just hangs out in the kitchen scavenging... as long as he sin't leaving crap all over the place I think he will stay until I start to sell...

Shedding pounds

Well I did my weigh in this morning and lost about 4 pounds... not a large gain but, I think for a slow and steady pace it is good! I can't wait to see how much further I can get down. So far, I haven't been changing a whole lot but, rather cutting back on large meals. I pull back on portion size and sometimes instead of having a regular dinner, I just fix myself a bowl of applesauce. It seems to do the trick.

here is my motivation: caloriecount.about.com

A good day....

Ahh... what a good day. I was in training all day and got to watch the inauguration to boot. I am glad to hear that Obama wants to "restore science to it's rightful place"... makes me really hopeful about the future I hope will be there!

Check this out!!!!

Cold!

It has finally gotten officially cold for the season. Single digits?!? That is kinda crazy but, will only increase my heating bill... Not much has changed recently... I have been working on putting together all of my photos and documentation on the house renovation. So far I have all the text done and just need to upload the photos.

I can't wait until mid feb when TV seasons start back up again!

new pictures!

I just picked up some new pictures for the website! I should have a lot of information going up today.

We also start the Freeport Pathfinder today! It should be a lot of fun (at least I hope it is since I am providing most of it!)...

Old "Blog" entries

I just moved all my old posts from googlepages over to here. Looks like a few from 06 and 07...

Decisions, decisions...

Well I have gone back to my old website adn trying to add more stuff to it. It has been over 2 years since I last updated it! Man... that is too long. I have done a lot fo stuff to the house since then. So there should be lots to update. I think I need to get some pictures from my father's camera on some of the construction...

I might be going dancing tonight with a friend of mine. She is getting involed with some people from her work about a new dance instruction school that is opening up... I am not really hot to trot (pun intented) on dancing but, it is a lot better than sitting at home. I want to stay away from home tonight... but that is a big long story that I would rather not get into...

Well now I am just rambling... I have webpages to update!

Random thoughts...

I have been digging the website ted.com recently... it is a great source of thinker and interesting people. I can't seem to get enough of it! It really gets my geek juices going with all the possibilities that people talk about here...

Like this one!

Avoiding Aging

Gear up for Biggest Loser!

I actively vegged out and ate horribly tonight so that I could get the highest weight I possibly could for tomorrow's weigh in. We are doing a biggest loser contest at work. 5$ to enter and the one that looses the largest percentage wins some amount of the pot... well that kills two birds with one stone.

It puts a monetary value on me trying to loose weight (since I have been). That should be enough momentum to finally watch my portion size! Let's hope it works!

Sick Day

I thought I would have been able to jump right back into work but, apparently my stomach has other plans for me! I have been at home all day trying to work through all my recorded TV... I never realized how much I have to go thru!

My computer was being a little bit of a baby this afternoon when he decided not to send out any of my multichannel sound recordings. I had about an hour worth of tweaking to get it back to somewhat usable state... But, now I will never know if I am truly in multichannel surround sound... (poor poor pitiful me :P)

First Post

I am just trying out this blogging tool. I have a website that I haven't updated in quite a while. Since I was doing something like this on that website already I thought this might be a good idea to try. Also it might get me into good practice into taking some time each day to write something down!

This is a good link to start it out...
