Go Hillary

While we were driving all those many hours in the car going to and from vacation last month, we listened to a lot of public radio. We also listened to a lot of right wing Republican extremists. Man, was that an eye opener. Good Ol Rush Limbaugh is at the head of the hit parade, but he is followed by many maniacal boors of similar mind set. I heard a lot of negative crap about Hillary and Barack. Oddly enough, because they are SOO far right, most of these guys don't like John McCain much either. Good for that - let's have dissent and division in the Republican party so we can get a democrat in the White House.

While Barack spared no expense to let us know that he hadn't lost much ground by losing Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island last night, it does light a charge under Hillary's campaign. Let me be one of many to say "hot damn!" http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/05/march.4.contests/index.html

Screwed up

I screwed up my back working out on Monday. That has sent me into a tailspin with the whole food intake thing. Lately I have been wondering if my tri suit will even fit and if I will be able to race this season. That is very depressing.

Last night we went to dinner at Chucks with my former coworkers. It was a great time.

Can you believe it?

I am back! I'll post pix soon, but right now they are living on my camera.

We just got back from Estrella War in AZ, which was supposed to be nice and warm and dusty. instead, it was cool and raing and freakin muddy. WTF? http://www.estrellawar.org/

Anyway, the trip was sandwiched with a lovely visit with my mom and a trip to the Grand Canyon. It was a good trip, and nothing beats not being at work. I am dreading the return to work on Monday. sigh. I am afraid there is no escaping it.

COLD!!

After a nice warm Sunday and Monday (55F) Iowa went in the deep freeze yesterday. It dropped 50 degrees in 24 hours. This morning I was so cold walking into work I couldn't feel my legs, feet or hands, and they were all covered up pretty well. It is just too cold for humans. All I want to do is stay home in some flannel jammies, put a Charmed disc in the DVD player and knit lots of wooly stuff.

Well that picture didn't work like I wanted it to. Suffice it to say, it's friggin cold.

Frustration

Just when I thought it couldn't get any more annoying, I decided to sprain my ankle yesterday. It's not bad. Just annoying, but also means I need to not even try to run on it for a few days at least. The weight is not going anywhere but over the edge of my jeans.

I do have a pair of socks almost done. I will finish the toe tonight. Then I can cast on for a new felted bag!

It Lies

The scale that is. How is it possible that I can be so good with my food and even better with the exercise and that damned thing isn't looking any better. My clothes are slightly better, but not a lot. WTF am I doing wrong? I know how to lose weight. I am better at gaining it. I should try not to gain it, because losing it just sucks. Another weigh in tomorrow. We will see. Grrr.

You guessed it!

It is a new year and thus I must put a new ding in my car. Fothermucker!

I have one finished sock. Love it. I have started the second sock.

My flair for writing papers is stalled, and thus I have this blog to distract me.

Can not eating enough make you gain weight? Ask me how!
