Tuesday in snow

So it feels like the calendar went back a few months today. The high is about 35, and it has been raining and snowing all day. Compared to yesterday & sunday, I think all the Moms in Colorado should be glad they got the day they did. And to be honest yesterday, I just couldn't do it, work I mean. I just could not handle a whole day in this small office area with my cell mate. I had a pretty emotional weekend and I just had no energy to come in and play nice. So, I played hooky instead.
And today i got a reward. I GET TO MOVE OFFICES!!! Yeah.. It is a smaller place, with actual cubical walls and other people sitting close, but it is SO MUCH BETTER than where i currently am. MUCH BETTER. but with my luck, there is always a delay. ALWAYS. So, since today is raining, i have to wait until tomorrow to move, because i have to move tape decks and a computer and a monitor to another building, so i will wait. one. more. day. OH and another thing, I will be able to bring my dog to work with me, everyday!!! SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT. He is my security blanket and it will be great having him with me all day and I know he will feel the same.

So, what was the deal this weekend you ask?? Well again, to be honest, and that's really the only way i know(not a good lier at all)- I don't do well with change. even self induced change. Just doesn't suit my way of "just riding the wave until i am forced to change" lifestyle. So, i kinda freaked out. I am starting to get cramps, which is a few (yeah like 5) days early, which means we are closer to the "start trying date" and knowing us, i don't think we are going to have any issues. so frankly, i am about change a lot of stuff and I freaked. Just sooner than planned and I am not a "surprises" kind of a girl-hence the planned pregnancy. Yes even five days is enough to throw me for a loop.
I had to take a LONG walk with my dog and kinda get the tears out and get myself together again.. turned into a longer walk than planned, but i felt better by the time I got back and feeling my boyfriends excitement and confidence is kind of contagious. So, dealing... I don't know about how well, but it will be better by the time it needs to be.
Enough baby talk...


SURVIVOR!!! oh my god, did you see it.. I am really psyched that Parvity won. She made all the best moves and came up with all the great ideas.. (convincing Eric to give up the Immunity necklace- dumbest play ever) but it worked and she won.. I am really happy about that. Although I do think that Amanda deserved to be at the end, I think she played by riding coat tales (ozzy's and Parvity's) and that kind of play doesn't really deserve 1 million bucks. Kicking three boys and a girls off by a blindside four times in a row, that deserves 1 million bucks for sure.
Big Brother starts this July (the 13th for those keeping score). mark your calendars now.


Thats really about all i have to share. We went out sunday night and saw a band, but other than that, we did a lot of being home this past weekend. Got some stuff planted (that is freezing as we speak) and got some housework accomplished. Not to mention some Denny's pancakes on sunday. Yesterday I slept a lot, played some games on the internet and did some laundry. My boyfriend was going to come home early and have some lunch with me, but he didn't get home until 1:30, then we had to go take a picture of a burned house for the newspaper. Apparently this guy was working on his antique corvette or something and it backfired and actually caught the garage on fire, but it quickly spread to the main part of the house and boy, when we saw it yesterday, i was a sad sight. Oh and I made some stuffed peppers in the slow cooker this weekend. They were (are) good. Had them for leftovers yesterday too..
Ok, here's your fix.
















Sorry that was for me... Here's your's

Puzzle and more

OK, so i have done a little more on my puzzle. Hope you enjoy it. it is coming along.
Hey, if you want a sneek peek to the next installment you can check out my Youtube page. Just search for Barefoot303 and You will see all my puzzle videos and my Cows on film that you might remember from a few months ago.
Snack time is the Original Chex Mix in the small packages.
I will take some home for the boyfriend.
It will be snowing to night in Denver. Not that much is expected though. And since my car rocks, no snow days for me. That's ok. I just had a major break for the last few weeks that it is good to get back on a schedule and stuff. We got the tree taken down and have unplugged the Christmas lights on the porch. I don't have the heart to take them down yet, sometimes they look so pretty when it is snowing and stuff... But the season is over and the sun is sticking around a minute longer each night.
So, To get my lazy butt back to the gym, i am making a new challenge to myself. I am going to not work with such an incline on the treadmill, but just see how far I can walk. My goal is to walk the distance to Coast Rica. I mean who wouldn't want to be always in route to Costa Rica? Well i will start tonight. Maybe i will let you know how far i got by the distance out of denver I can make. I was going to start the mileage from my house and see where i can go...
Wish me luck and here's the Puzzle part Trios.

Just another Manic Monday

Well, there is the end. Red Sox swept us hard and bad. I don't want to say that we didn't try. I think we played great baseball and for the team's first visit to the big dance, we did alright. This will just give us the experience we need to win the next time we get there. And with this team, i think we will get there again. Now, we just have to keep our eye on for the trading and re-negotiating before Spring training.
So, my camera was stolen from my backpack at the bar I was watching the game at. I am so bummed. It wasn't a small little cheap thing, it was a Nikon for God Sakes. I can't believe that happened. Just makes me mad and then sad.

Many of you might be wondering if i have given up on the walking thing as i have not posted my pedometer reading in a while. Well it will please you to know that not only have i not given up walking, but i can even run at some points during my exercise. But i am also using the weight machines at the gym. I am starting to feel sore muscles and everything. That is very cool. I have taken the weekends off, but i am back at it this evening. I wish i could convince myself to go in the mornings so i will boost my metabolism all day, but i am still whiny about getting up early just for work, so to get up any earlier is just stupid for me. But at least i am going.

well, that's about it. Sorry Rockies, better luck next year. I am not a fair weather fan, and i will miss all the excitement that the Rockies brought to us this season and look forward to the next season.

We have Monday Night Football in town tonight. Broncos Vs. Packers.

walk like an Egyptian

So, today i am back to wearing my pedometer. I am at 2718 after my afternoon walk. i think i will go around the building a few times at snack time to get the count up a bit.
Yesterday snack was check mix baggies. I took one but brought it home instead of eating it. that way it is less for me if Jeff eats it.
that's all, just thought i would share my pedometer number
