My new 24/7 hobby - loading my cds into itunes so I can then load them into my ipod, to work with my Nike imonitor….huh? What happened to tapes? Remember when cassettes were SO COOL and the Sony Walkman cost $300? Which, for the record, I DID not buy until was about $100…lol. Ohmigod, remember laying on the floor in your bedroom listening to the Donny Osmond LP and lifting the record needle up and back to the start of your favourite song over and over again? And when it started to skip balancing a dime on the arm for extra weight? I am officially so old…
Just about to head out for my winter walk with the dog. I feel so much better after the 45 minutes of fresh air. Helps with the insomnia immensely. Next week I think I can start rowing.
There’s an instructor at the gym who does pilates and yoga - I have taken her yoga classes and I had some trouble cause she turns the lights out, puts candles in the middle of the room, and teaches in the dark. It is very hard to follow along with a teacher when you can’t see her. Anyway, I was always insanely jealous/admiring of her because she is beautiful, very toned, and can sing. (I ran into her at a karaoke night…don’t ask. Please.) I just found out she used to be more than 100 lbs overweight. Now I am just very admiring of her. (But I still don’t want to take yoga from her. ) I really want to ask her for her story.
Son #1 made tacos tonight - I was starving when I got home and scarfed down three. Lesson - don’t let myself get that hungry! Associated sinful secret - the sour cream was delish.
Now that my office is close to the staff kitchen I can bring lunch and snacks - if I can do it 2x a week I will be very happy with myself. In my defense, I did not intend to spend all day at work, but once I was there it was hard to leave. But tomorrow, I know I will be there all day and I can plan for it.

Holy moly, a 300 dollar walkman?! Glad you had a good walk with doggie.

I had to load all my music twice, I remember it was a huge undertaking. My DH and I share bank accounts, car, house, etc but not music libraries because he (who has a lot more music than me) can’t face having to add another 20G of music one CD at a time… especially as a lot of it is music that is not to his tastes!
I love tacos, and 3 tacos aren’t calorie killers usually. nowdays I try to eat one or two “naked” ones (extra lettuce and all the fillings, no shell, and I force myself to choose between cheese OR sour cream).

I sure do remember the coin on the arm of the record player—you made me smile! Still have my stereo with the 8 track built in.
Getting caught up–sorry your bf. has moved so far away; hope this is not permanent.
Hope your nose is healing well, what a bummer!!
