Jan. 26th, 2004 07:34 pmhi! I'm still alive!!! :-)
Jeff's computer is back in the shop. It's been a bit erratic lately. Sometimes the fan is really loud, and sometimes it's non-existant. Sometimes it boots correctly and sometimes it doesn't. sometimes it's slow, and sometimes it isn't. We had been planning on taking it in today. Unfortunately, it died good Saturday night (of course after CompUSA was closed...). We got the really bad "no opperating system detected" every time we tried to boot up. Lucky for Jeff, he backed up the hard drive last week. So, he's without a computer for the next week or two. And I have to share mine... :-)
I finished the 5th elephant today. I have been reading all of Pratchet's books over the last few months. I'm almost done! I had forgotton that we didn't own the 5th elephant, and how much I really liked it... :-)
I am going to start demonstrating rubber stamping for some extra income! I had my stamping party last week and had lots of fun, as usual. But Chari asked if I would like to be a demonstrator for other people. She thinks I'll be really good. She also doesn't invite many people to become demonstrators. I'm excited! I should get my starting kit in about a week... Then I'm off! I really like stamping and had a lot of fun making my Christmas cards last year...
I'm also working on being more healthy. I've started eating better and working out. I exercised 3 times last week, and started again this morning. I've started the South Beach Diet and am working my way through that. It's like the Atkins in that you try to cut back on carbohydrates (ok, you really curtail them during the first 2 week phase), but unlike Atkins, you don't totally cut them out. The goal is more on a lifestyle change of eating more lean meats and whole grains and less processed foods. Don't eat the balloon bread, but do eat a piece of whole grain bread. eat more veggies. feel full but eat better. It's kind of hard. There are foods that I miss, but I'm doing pretty well...
and there's the last few days in a nutshell...
