I’m at Sheep in the City this weekend. It’s a good weekend for any sort of fiber related activity up here in Wisconsin since it’s cold and snowy outside. I’ll have to venture out at some point to get some lunch, but most of today (Saturday) will be spent indoors learning some new [...]
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
Posted by: J on: February 27, 2009
I’ve been using the college’s small fitness center to exercise. It’s really rather underwhelming, but has the advantage of being free. However, I’m starting to realize that I need access to a bit more than is offered.
Kewanee has a YMCA and I’m strongly considering becoming a member. Once upon a time I [...]
It’s a slow road

I’ve updated my weight tracker page. This week I lost 1.6 lbs. I’m happy with that considering I’m still slowly increasing my activity level. And I’m not being as faithful about tracking my points as I should be. The eTools really do help, but when I’m running around doing stuff, or [...]

I’ve been fighting a cold this week. I think the contagious part got out of the way Friday and Saturday, but since then I’ve become all mucousy sounding. I can live with that. The worst part of being sick is the energy drain. About all I’ve been able to manage this [...]
Oh snap!

Charley and I went driving today so I could get some pitchers pictures for my photography assignment. He was incredibly well-behaved and held still when I asked him to so that my arm wasn’t jiggled by the leash. It’s great because I like the companionship even if we don’t talk much. [...]
Three dog afternoon
Posted by: J on: February 14, 2009
I finally made it to KS this morning. The 2-4 inches of snow that was predicted for central IA ended up being a snow storm warning. Um…whoops! If I had know the weather conditions were going to be that bad, I wouldn’t have attempted the trip. But, I’m safe and the [...]
Do you have a secret?

Last night, I drove down to WIU to hear Frank Warren speak. He is the creator of Post Secret. I don’t really know how to describe it. The secrets that he shared with the audience really made it a compelling talk. I also had to admire the courage of the college students [...]

The weather outside is amazing today. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to get outside to enjoy it before it gets cold again tomorrow. It’s a reminder of what we have to look forward to when spring really arrives to stay.
DH is at Ft. Campbell this week. I guess the band there is deployed, [...]
Anticipatory wriggles and wiggles
Posted by: J on: February 5, 2009
Getting really excited about Sheep in the City at the end of the month.
I’m looking forward to the classes I’ll be taking.
I’m also looking forward to the vendors! Saving my pennies for new yarn. Yeah yeah. I don’t need new yarn…but…well…knitters understand.
Weighty Matters
Posted by: J on: February 5, 2009
I’ve been thinking a lot about food and weight this week. Trying to change your habits does that to a person.
I realized that part of my problem is not being able to imagine myself anything other than heavy. I’ve been overweight for so many years that the very idea of ever being slim [...]

- cclibrarian: @pat2pattern I'd agree. I'm all for technology, but that's not everything in the library. Still think some miss the bigger picture.
- cclibrarian: @ljhardin Yep. :-) I'm also getting fairly silly. I think it's time for dinner.
- cclibrarian: @gershbec That's why I had to finally leave. Time suck city. And not much value for me.
