I have yet to stop and clean up my blogs. Blech. Fortunately, this is an easy process. Unfortunately, I haven't sat myself down and made time for it.
This morning, I got up early enough to use that most expensive of coat racks, the Orbitrek. I bought it last year, and have used it several times but admittedly, it serves mostly as a hook for my coat or hats. ::sigh:: Last week, however, my doctor firmly stated that if I don't intend to end up diabetic (it runs in my family), I need to exercise briskly for 20 minutes at least three times a week; more if possible.
Oh, it's possible, all right. Just not pleasant. I hate getting sweaty. Still...it's either Orbitrek or continuing to buy clothes in a larger size...and at least the Orbitrek's paid for. :-(
When Rob first moved up here, we would go for walks a couple of times a week. Once he started working, however, we stopped since our schedules were off whack. He'd come home tired and I'd have to log in to work, so we reverted to our usual lazy selves.
It's finding time to exercise that's a real chore. I've determined that the only way I'll be able to do it is to get up earlier than usual. Hitting the snooze button is something I'll have to put in my past, which is unfortunate since I seem to have my most colorful dreams after Rob's alarm goes off but before mine does.
Rob wants us to build our own entertainment center/wall unit, rather than buying the one that matches the desks we bought from Dania (which we get to pick up Friday and screw together -- the desks, naughty readers! -- on Saturday). He bought a book with ideas and a computer program so we can look at our room's dimensions and see how things will fit. After looking through the book, I suggested we might tackle something less ambitious, like a closet organizer. "That way if we screw it up, we can just shut the doors," I said. After all, we'd be stuck staring at the entertainment center, no matter how ugly it turned out. I'm not saying we're not capable of building one...I'd simply be more comfortable if we had at least one completed project that we liked under our belts.
