So who else is hanging around this weekend? Or does everybody else have exciting plans? The weather here has cleared up nicely so a friend of mine and I have plannned out a 10 mile hike for this afternoon. It's longish, but pretty even terrain, so it should be nice. Just enough uphill to really work my butt. It's the peak weekend for leaves changing color (so late this year!), so we're taking cameras. I was out on a ridgetop yesterday and it's unbelievable. We're hoping the weather will hold all weekend and we can go hiking Sunday as well. So I will definitely be getting my exercise in! Went to the gym Thursday and did a bunch of weight exercises. I was sore yesterday
Now if only I could get my eating under control. Kirsty asked what we would like to lose. My short term goal would be to lose my tent (5 pounds). Long term, I would like to lose a sack of rice (you can get these 15-lb sacks of rice, I'm sure somebody else has seen them!). A few quick resposnses to previous days posts:
Kier- Oh la la! NF sounds like he's a keeper!
Jen- Hope you are having a relaxing weekend and resting your poor back!
KT- I've been doing the oh I'll start tomorrow thing for too long too. We need to team up and stop the tomorrow demon!
Rina- Sounds like you're doing really well getting back on track. 5 days OP is impressive.
Laura- Have fun with the grandparents! And yes, two advisors is like having two bosses! Especially since one of them is six hours away so all discussion is by email AND the two of them have never met each other and don't seem to communicate much at all aside from a conference call two months ago.
Belle- YAY for Carmen! Hope your sis can take her home soon. Right now I'm doing my BS in environmental science. I'm sort of split as to what to do for grad school. On the one hand, I'd like to do a master's and PhD in public health and do epidemiology. On the other hand, I really like being outside, and I'd like to do ecology so I could maybe eventually wind up at a field station in the middle of nowhere and mess around in the woods a lot
I'm not graduating until next year though, so I have a little time to decide.
Ok, that's practically a book. I'm off!

Weekend thread
Not our first snow of the year but we're going to have to shovel this time-good exercise 
Oh by the way to get a healthy BMI I need to lose a Super Model!!!
We have a really small circle of friends here b/c everyone keeps moving away and my best friend is out with the flu today & everyone else is working. To make it worse the friends who live far away don't semm to be answering their phones today & my Mom who is always my fallback is gone away on holidays so I've got no one to talk to. So instead of eating I came here to babble & pretend like I'm hanging out with someone. Its really snowing right now so at least I'm going to get to shovel the driveway again 
I think I might go for a walk too if its not too cold out. Other than that there's not too much else to do. I got my cleaning all done yesterday & I can't cross-stitch b/c my arms are really sore from doing it so much lately plus being so busy at work. I don't feel like reading. The thing I turn to for comfort besides eating is shopping but the budget is really tight so I'm busy reminding myself of that so I don't sneak to the mall! Argh! At least I'm aware of these crazy things I do for comfort so I can safeguard myself. Anybody else have things they do for comfort that actually sabatoge them? Its a real struggle for me but I just have to keep myself aware & be on my toes. Anyway I'm sure you've had enough babble from me already. I think I'm going to put on some Christmas tunes & make my Christmas shopping list. I love love LOVE Christmastime! I can't wait for it to come & all of this snow is really putting me in the Christmas mood! Anyway I'm sure I'll be back later b/c I've still got most of the day to get through....
