I joined Weight Watchers on the first Thursday of January. Since then, I’ve drastically changed how I eat, and have managed to lose about 6.5 pounds (yay!). I’ve been browsing recipes and deciding what to cook. Normally, I’m not much of a chef. I can cook, but it’s just me so it’s easier to make…
It snowed last night and this morning. Lots of ice on the roads, so no going out. It was pretty but gave me cabin fever. Desperately wanted to get out and go see a movie. Or something…. Image was taken with my Nokia N900. Related Images:
Sadness: Blue Hors Matine put down due a broken leg. She was the most amazing dressage horse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKQgTiqhPbw # Yup, it's *that* kind of pad. — MadTV's hilarious "ad" about the Apple iPad — from 2005. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L68aKVAzwQ4 # No riding yesterday. Instead, one girl with a minor cut on her leg and the other girl…
This is just hysterically funny considering that Apple just announced the iPad this week. (What was Apple expecting by releasing a product that is so closely named to feminine hygiene product?) Here is the Mad TV “commercial” about the Apple iPad with all kinds of innuendo. As far as the iPad itself goes, I was…
I got a thank-you on an Open Office forum for my article on using page styles to create unique headers and footers in Open Office Writer. One of my friends asked me why I bother writing documentation that no one will read. I told him I write for that one person who, at midnight while…
It was gorgeous today. No clouds in the sky. Amazing warm weather (60F) and a light breeze. I weighed in at Weight Watchers today and then wanted to skip out of work. Instead, I went back, finished up some projects, and got out of work early. I was itching to ride Isis and work both…
In 2006, a friend of mine sent me a link to a YouTube video of the international WEG2006 Freestyle Dressage Final at Aachen. A big grey mare gave a performance that was truly inspired and had the audience clapping and rooting for her. (HIGHLY unusual — dressage tests are about as loud as a tennis…
I was ambitious this weekend. After being sick last weekend and part of the week, I rode Isis and worked Kasane with the surcingle and long lines. Pretty ambitious after a month of being out of the saddle. 🙂 Isis was awesome under saddle in the dressage saddle. We only rode about 20 minutes, most…
Several times per week, I hear this “ca-thump-ca-thump-ca-THUMP” noise from the bathroom. When I go in to investigate, Her Cuteness is chasing her tail in the bathtub. You would think that a 20 year old cat would know that her tail doesn’t go any where. She’s 20 going on three. For the first time, I…
Ever since Isis’ choking episode in November, I have been thinking about wanting to ride Kasane. I love riding Isis, but she can’t be stressed. (If she is stressed, it is possible that she will exhibit similar symptoms to when she had her EPM episode last summer. These symptoms will persist in some form until…
Barn was awesome. I missed the girls so much. It was cold and getting late when I arrived. Isis knickered at me when I came in and every time she saw me. (happy sigh) I love it when she does that. I had about 20 minutes before it got dark. We free lunged in the…
In case you haven’t seen this. Ever wonder what cats are really thinking when they look cute? Related Images:
Disjointed and slightly disappointing. I’ll write more later after I’ve rewatched the episode a few times. Love Wilf. He’s just awesome. David Tennant has been brilliant as the Doctor. I’m looking forward to seeing him in other shows. Not sure about Matt Smith. Sniff. *waves* Bye DT. We’ll miss you, 10th Doctor. Related Images:
After blowing like eight hours trying to get my Mac to work, it finally started working randomly after a reboot. I tried booting from the OS disk to restore from the Time Machine backups. That is what the backups are for, after all. Unless, after booting from the OS disk, the spinning beach ball of…
