May29.10 Gym. Flea Market.

Image
• Cardio Ellip: 0:35:00 Avg HR High 160s. Hit 170s fiest @22m. Kept fluxing badly (say 196 then 96.) Felt ow, but eh. • Bicep curl, 5lb*10rep*3sets. • SuperSet w/ Crunches 10rep*3sets. • Dont-Drop-Its, 10lb*10rep*3sets. Almost DID drop it on last set! • Calf raises *10rep*3sets. • Calf raises (one leg) *5rep*3sets each leg. Husband threatened me with "Suicides" later today (evil sprints). Home to shower, breakfast, and off to Flea Market. Got some market peaches, etceteras, and some fantastic Raspberry-Chocolate Port (26$, more on that later). Came home, whipped up a second loaf of banana bread and some orange-chicken thighs (for Shane's lunch). After dinner I had some Chocolate fudge sugar-free fat-free Jello pudding, along with a glass of that Raspberry Chocolate Port, and I love it. I think it's better than the 20 year Sandeman's I love. I HAVE to get more. It would have to be a real treat though, 26$ is such too much to have all the time *though it'll last...

Brain death sets in.

I think the feral housecats stole my pedometer.. They DID carry away my needlecase & chalk pencil (I found the teethmarks!) The pedo's so BIG though... Empty couple days. Didn't do the Calusa Nature Center: turns out he doesn't really want to go (I figured) so I need to pick a day to go alone. Deb made a fantastic Spetzla(sp) & Meatballs. I made a pretty good stuffed tomato (rosted, filled with cous-cous, with parmesan and feta). Loved it. Its almost a cook-off around here. I'ma tell Shane it's his turn. Patriot Games: good flick. Gosh I feel so brain dead.

Facebook and Privacy: My 2c.

I don't live on Facebook, but I do check it every couple days, and I have certain family members and friends selected to send me SMS updates when they post something new (these are people who don't post often, or in some cases, their every quip is gold and shouldn't be missed!) I noticed yesterday that I had a new message; yet, when I logged in that message was gone along with the person who wrote it. She had deleted her profile page. I went to email her and noticed that I did not have her email address in my contact book: I always got her information from her Facebook page when I needed to get ahold of her. Almost all of our interaction of late has been through this social networking site. I sent a FB message to a mutual friend, who didn't have her information either. After a little digging I was able to find this friend's email. How appalling to realize how I relied on this site to keep in contact. She told me, through email, that the reason she had "exited t...

Busch Gardens Africa Tampa FL May 19, 2010 * The Picasa Album for all these Photos * Being back in FL and staying with family for the interim Shane and I decided to use another of the Military boons and go to Busch Gardens Africa. I did my little pre-stalking thing and checked out park map and rides. We knew going in that Kumba (one of their famous roller-coasters) was going to be closed this whole month. We also knew that the Serengeti Plain (where the free roaming animals are) was going to be a non-event due to the Serengeti Train being out of commission due to construction at the park, and the only only ride that goes into the Plain was a 35$ per person Serengeti Safari truck ride (where you'd get to touch Giraffe). Keeping this trip as inexpensive as possible, we opted out for the the Safari. 2 hour and change drive, for two free tickets, a packed lunch with snacks, and only paying for gas and some water bottles before we get there; even after a few snacks there the...
