Too long

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

It has apparently been a long time since I last used my Wii Fit. I fell victim to it. It inticed me in and then bam, I got bored. Not really, I got busy doing stuff. I suppose some of the yard work could be considered exercise. Otherwise I have been bad. I’m trying to change that though.

My blood sugar has always been on the low side. I occassionally dip into the 40s which is pretty bad.  But since working I’ve varied what I eat (hello snacks) and now it is just wonky in general. So, I’ve cut out sugars except for the fake kind. Sorry but I’m just not that hard core. I’m weaning myself off of it slowly. I make sure I fill my cup full of ice when I get a drink so I’m really only drinking about a third. I could make myself drink water but what I love most about my drinks is the ice. The ice maker makes awesome chips of ice.  I love ice cold drinks. Slowly weaning myself off. I’ll do it.

Back to the Wii. I hopped on today and it kicked my butt. I admittedly did the harder exercises but I wanted to see how off I am. My ability to control my center of gravity is still near excellent. I guess having the air conditioner vents blowing on you along with the ceiling fan and still sweating like crazy is a good thing.  I felt the burn and boy do I still feel it now.  I didn’t over do it but I definitely did what was needed.

I went walking on Sunday with Josh and that was good. After seeing the manicured yards in the neighborhood, we both decided that our yard looks like crap. More motivation to get working on it. We have about two and a half more months until cooler weather starts to creep in enough to do a lot of work in one go. I’m excited about that. Perhaps Josh and I will take off a week to just do yard work. Gung-ho gardners. Hwahh.

For now, I’m going to bed. Well, I’ll go after I take some ibuprophen.

Thoughts and Ideas

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

So yeah, MJ and FF died today. Didn’t know them. I know a couple of lines to an assortment of MJ songs. Farah I was a little indifferent on. I was just young enough to miss the Charlie’s Angels generation. I knew who they were, but I didn’t really watch them.

I’ve been terrible about updating. Then again, my life has been pretty stale. My friendship with a couple of co-workers has been threatened if I don’t go see Transformers 2 on IMAX. Yeah, what kind of crap is that? Huh boys? Of course they are boys.

I’ve been spending time on facebook for work. It appears that you can’t post to the wall on facebook and disable comments. Anyone know if there is a way that I am completely missing? It is possible, very possible.

Life with my WD Media Center has been awesome. The optical audio makes the surround sound ten “gazillion” times better.  It really does make all the difference. Unfortunately we don’t have an optical audio in on any of the displays at work (that sucks) so we can’t watch or listen to anything on my drive in full awesomeness. If a converter is cheap, I might do it. I have to look into it and see if the audio quality is downgraded too much.

Oh, I’m thinking of covering the panels of my cubical at work. They are tan, purple and kind of seafoam green. I have a plethora of white fabric that I might use for the upper wall. I have a blood wine color fabric that I might use for the middle panel and I’m unsure what to do with the lower wall. Perhaps white, but it might look a bit like a present at that point. I will be posting photos if I decide to do it. I don’t know what I will do with my giant dinosaur though. Decisions.

Sadness

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I am sad to report that Josh’s grandmother passed away yesterday. It was both expected and unexpected. Expected because we knew overall she had been deteriorating but unexpected because it just happened. She lived a good life. I know I didn’t know her as well as some but she helped raise Josh to become the man I love more than anything in the world, so I know she was a good person. Pecan pie during the holidays will always have a special place on the table.

Boring

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

So things have been boring enough to not write about. I try not to talk about work or where I work so it makes for boring posts. Sorry. After work I have been doing freelance work and having weird reactions to antibiotics. Fun.

Today is my 10th anniversary. This afternoon Josh and I will have been married for 10 years. Wow. It doesn’t seem like it. It has been a crazy ten years. Sickness and health is right! We both took today off. We don’t have any plans, but we have the day to do whatever we want. So far it has just been loafing around the house. I’m not complaining about that!

Going back to work tomorrow will suck. I have a few projects that people want done tomorrow. I may have to sequester myself and turn on the tunes.

Wish me luck…
