Hi all
Back for some individuals. I have this symantec window that keeps popping up on my computer and its driving me crazy..so this may be short and sweet.
Jules - I just read a really favorable review of
Wolf Creek - its Australian, and the actor who plays the baddie in it is supposed to be just brilliant. I think I'm too chicken to see it in the theatres. Hey - I'm a knitter, too. I started this
http://www.helloyarn.com/wp/?p=252 today..I'm almost through the first row of skulls. Keep it up, knitting is very addictive once you get through the first few projects and learn some basics.
As far as the challenge goes, the last time we did one, it was a 21 day challenge thread. You pick some behavior you want to change and try to do it every day for 21 days. We had a thread where you could check in. When you finish one, you can start over, or start a new one. I like it because people can set their own challenges...but I am up for any new ideas as well. Just want to get it in gear, you know?
Angie - your scarf sounds really pretty; I like choc. brown. I have a jones for the original Man in Black, so that's why I got the boxed set. I have been impressed by the fact that Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon did their own singing in the movie, so I want to hear the soundtrack someday.
Cristi - Sounds like you are having a great time - enjoy your portrait sitting - do we get to see the finished product?
Jane - have fun gambling
I used to write everything down, too. It really does make a huge difference in my food choices and portion control. I just need to get back on track. Have managed to maintain over the holidays, but need to bust through this very stubborn plateau I've been in for months.
Susan - I think it's great that you have a treadmill now...I wish I had room for one. I've gotten used to getting up and getting down to the community center; but it took a long time before I could arrange my life so I could sneak out to do it. It seems to be the best way to consistently get the workouts in, for me at any rate. Now that you have that treadmill, I bet you start seeing some losses pretty soon.
My day has been pretty ho-hum. The guys worked on the house all day. They are working on duct work and insulation. My DD has a cold, so she futzed around and took a nap. DS had a friend over, so I manage to get in alot of knitting on the pirate cap. Now I need to clean up the dishes from dinner. I plan on turning in early; I am reading
Truman and I am just at the point where he's about to order the atomic bomb to be dropped on Hiroshima. It's a real page turner. I'm learning so much about this president... I highly recommend the book - it's very well written. Author is David McCullough.
Nighty-Night ladies!
