Busy

By in a good day

Well. Sort of busy.

I still have my ears full of Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter to me. I think I love Stephen Fry. He’s amazing. Have you ever watched QI? I mean, maple slurple. Think about that. So I have been watching that too.

And, believe it or not, knitting. I’ve finished lots of small projects and I’ve taken on a more difficult project-socks-and that’s occupying my hands. And between that, scarves. And maybe a hat. Maybe, baby. I’ve also been commissioned to make more baby scarves, joy!

I also got new jeans today. And made sloppy joes. No, those 2 things are not related.

Here’s what I do at the gym these days: 20 minutes on the bike at 145rpms, approx. 45o cal burned. Then I do 40 regular crunches (20, rest a minute, 20) then 10 side crunches on each side. Then I do 20 pulldowns at 40lbs in front of me, then another 20 @40lbs behind my head. Then I fall into a heap. I kid! Then I feel good about myself and go to the grocery store and buy cinnamon buns to make up for all that effort. I kid!

Maybe. I think I need a personal trainer to tell me what I really should be doing. And if that involves running-any kind of running-they can forget it.

    QI is one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched. I absolutely adore Stephen Fry and the back-and-forth between him and Alan makes that show awesome.

    Can only watch what’s on youtube though. Living in America can suck sometimes.

    Stephen Fry’s narration of Little Big Planet is also very magical!

    Also, I just started running. F*k me, it HURTS in so many ways.

    OMG, Danielle, that’s AMAZING, I didn’t realize it was SF on BLP, awesome, thanks. Somehow that will make an already wonderful game just that much more…wonderful!

    I’m a bit late here with the comments but getting a personal trainer has made such a difference to my life. And it isn’t thaaaat huge of an expenditure… well, I worked out 2 x 1 hour training = same price as 1 hour therapist, and I feel much better after training than I do after therapy…
