From here I can see... the backyard
Jan. 16th, 2009 12:23 am1. The boss bought us all pedometers. I got mine at 11:00 this morning. I am at... 4486 steps. Not ANYWHERE close to 10,000. Tomorrow, I'm shooting for 7500. It's something! Besides, I'll be at home and can use the treadmill. I know Dad will bring up the fact that I can take Spencer out for a walk but winter is getting to the icy point and I don't feel like blindly walking around the block, trying NOT to find the icy spots. Maybe I can convince her to come of the treadmill with me?
2. I have discovered that I love broccolini microwaved with a little bit of butter, some lemon pepper and tomatoes. It's really good! My new vegetable of choice. I have some for lunch tomorrow IF I remember to bring it to work.
3. The book I'm reading is really good. Magic to the Bone by Devon Monk. I'm too lazy to find a link. It's a new one from ROC and I'm really liking what I'm reading so far. The only problem that I see... she mentions magic being in " strands"... DAMN! That was going to be an idea that I used. Does anyone else find authors writing their ideas and then you feel that you can't use them because someone might think you took it from that particular author? No? Just me?
4. Winter. I don't like it. I never do. It comes back anyway.
5. My little cousin/niece came over to Gramma's this morning with my uncle before I left for work. She was playing with Spencer and kept calling her a boy. This is typical of anyone it seems but she's at that age where she's trying to figure out the difference between boys and girls so I kept correcting her, saying "No, Spencer is a girl. Just like you." She looked up at me with a perplexed face which cleared as she said, "Maybe she will be a boy when she grows up!" I couldn't help but laugh. She looked so proud of herself for that observation!
6. I love Twitter. Can you tell? Any time of the day, I can pick up my phone (for that is how I update) and send off a text that winds it's way through the intrawebz and ends up here in this journal. I can't use them as my Facebook status because "coworker" is on Facebook. I'm sort of scared that she'll someday come looking for this journal just because I've mentioned it a few hundred times. May have to lock some of the "funnier" posts just to keep the friendship.
7. Yep. Still not liking winter. Liking it even less now that I can't feel my toes... which are in socks so that isn't the problem. Besides, it's late and I need to walk the 30 or so steps to bed so that I get to 4500 for the night.
