Lots and Lots of Walking...and Other Projects

Well then, I’m quite behind in my walk reporting... February was quite the snowy month. In fact, I was able to walk more in January. February breakdown: 02/01-02/05: 1.5 miles 02/06-02/12: 3 miles 02/13-02/19: 15.1 miles 02/20-02-26: 12 miles Total: 31.6 miles Actually, if it wasn’t for the fact that I was checking in on my friends’ cats, I might not have even walked that much! So much snow... (not that I’m complaining about snow in February. LOL) The 25th was an interesting day-I was watching the school closings to see if the Cleveland Hts/University Hts school district would be closed (the bus tends to be early when there are no kids), and I never saw Case in the listings. While on the bus, I decided to check Facebook, just for kicks-when I found out that the University had closed!!! Got into the library, turned right around and went home (special thanks to Robin-she gave me a lift so I wouldn’t have to wait for a bus. She is an excellent snow driver!) Snow days are much more e...

Halloween, part 1

Image
Well, I meant to post this entry before Halloween, with updates after, but alas-my costume needed just a little more tweaking than I thought it would, and I ran out of time! I hope everyone had a fun, safe, and happy Halloween!! I know I did! Although I didn't give out candy at my place this year (like I did last year for the first time ever!), I still decorated, because, well, I love to decorate! Here's my pumpkin, resting on my back porch-it had no idea what it was to become late Friday night. ;) Here's a picture from part of my yard. I adore Peanuts-I think the Snoopy sign is the only decoration that I didn't buy on sale, because when I saw it, I had to have it before the store ran out! (which they did!) Not all of these decorations are mine-my downstairs neighbor also likes to decorate! :) I recently finished a knitting project! Check out my Steampunk Spats at RoKnits: Steampunk Spatterdashes They were a part of my Steampunk themed Halloween costume that I wore to...

A list...

...of things I need to do: 1. Write here more. 2. Write here more. 3. Write here more. 4. Write here more. 5. WRITE HERE MORE!! (ha!) Seriously, I was hoping I would get back on track with the new year. That hasn't happened yet. Lent starts next week-maybe I'll get my act together by then. ;) I'll write a list. I'm very good at writing lists...just not so hot at keeping up with them. ;) List of projects: 1. Finish Bella's baby blanket 2. Start my SJ costume for Marcon 3. Scrapbook for Chicago Tardis 4. Put Tardis consol together (no, Dave, I haven't forgotten!!) ;) 5. Get back on the healthy track 6. Coca Cola reward points (more on that later...) 7. Develop film (more on that later) Ah, well-it's back to work for me!

That's life!

No Doctor Who quote tonight-I couldn't think of anything clever enough for this post. ;) Ever go through a period of writers block? That's what's happenening to me right now! So much has been going on, but whenever I sit down to write, I just don't know where to begin. The other day I was looking at some of my older blogs-I couldn't believe how much I used to write here! (and look how much it's dwindled!) Maybe if I wasn't so tired... ;) This past weekend I was in Cincinatti and Dayton with the IceHawks (babysitting!) I had alot of fun. The tournament next month is in Cincinatti, and if we stay in the same place, I'm going to have to remember my swimsuit-they have an indoor/outdoor heated pool!! I also hope I have the same roomies-then I'll have to remember to bring Phase 10! So where were you during the big storm two weeks ago? I was stuck at home-everything I had planned on Saturday was cancelled (with good reason, too). I stepped off the front ste...

Orange cheese!!

D.W.Q.M.: Duke Juliano: "There's this man in Florence claims that by arranging ground glasses in a certain order, it's possible to see the moon and stars as large as your hand." Marco: "Is that a good thing?" Did you catch the Lunar Eclipse on Wenesday?!?! Amazingly enough, it actually cleared up so we could see it! I was at Foofy and Persephone's for taco night-since there were six of us and the game we had decided to play only played 5, I decided to hang out with MewMew and watch Ghost Hunters: International . MewMew really wanted to see the eclipse, too, so we would peak outside during commercial breaks to see if it was clearing up. It was still pretty cloudy, so we had pretty much given up. Then, towards the end of Ghost Hunters I got a call from the Doctor-I had moved and leaned over the edge of the couch to answer-he said, 'I take it then you aren't outside?' All I said was, 'What, you mean it's clear?!' and I heard MewMe...
