Running and Frostbite Falls

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

Its been a good week for me. My legs felt really good today. I realized I haven’t really mentioned the running much this week on the blog (see? I’m reducing the obsessing thing).
I’m still following my plan for Around The Bay. This week was a lighter week and the long [...]

Be jealous

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

Look what came in the mail yesterday.

Spoils of my hard efforts. :) Thanks, Wil!
(Oh, and thanks to everyone out there who commented on my behalf. You can come over and borrow my mug any time you want to. Uh, small deposit required.)

My new couverture

Friday, January 13th, 2006

After the last batch of truffles I had run out of couverture. I had previously been buying the Valrhona Caraque which was a bitter sweet, 56% chocolate. Also I had bought a Callebaut semi-sweet but I can’t remember exactly which one. I do remember that the Callebaut has been had to temper [...]

Help

Ok, I said I’m going to throw out 1000 pounds of junk from my house. I’ve got about 20 so far with the Ebay stuff (is that how much I said?), but I’m having trouble with one of the first items.
Its a broken HP Scanjet 5200C. It was a lovely scanner when it [...]

Please leave your breasts outside the pool area

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

I had to laugh at the most annoying article in the Ann Arbor News yesterday. Apparently, the Ann Arbor YMCA kicked some woman (Kelly Fuks?) out of the pool area for breastfeeding (on the pool deck). What was the reason? It was “distracting the lifeguards”. And what part of [...]

In a word

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

Example 1. Eating. [...]

Better

Saturday, January 7th, 2006

My eyes don’t hurt as much today and the dizzyness seems to be gone, except I’m still kinda sleepy. My right ear has this funny “hisssss” sound in it. Other than that, I’m ok. Thanks for all the well wishes. :)
Remember last year when I had the half-flu? Well, it [...]

Dizzy

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

I feel dizzy today. When I walk down the hall, it feels all swimmy. And my eyes hurt like someone punched me in them.
I ran this week. On the dreadmill. Not much else to say about that.
And I’m hungry. What else is new?
