About Me

..

My Interests

I like traveling. I enjoy being in nature and taking pictures of the places and things I see. I'm a Minnesota Twins fan and plan on making several trips to the Metrodome this year.

Music:

I like all kinds of music but am especially into rock. On the commute to and from work 93X is the station I listen to.

Movies:

I like comedies, action movies and westerns. I hate chick flicks. I prefer seeing a movie in the theater rather than at home. I've seen more movies in the theater in the past two years than I have in the previous twenty years.

Television:

Not much of a TV watcher. The hubby and I like to watch the Twins, the Wild, and (when they're not being idiots) the Vikings.

Books:

Nora Roberts is my favorite author. I enjoyed all the Harry Potter books. I just wish I had more time to read.

Distressing week

Insomnia

Good God, I can't believe I'm still awake.  I woke up at 2:30.  I can't blame it on the caffeine this time; I haven't had any.  I really need to get to bed so I can enjoy Mothers Day.&n...

Feeling better

I'm feeling much better tonight than I did this morning.  Instead of going out with coworkers, I chose to come home and then go work out with Kevin.  I had my best workout on the elliptical ...

Debbie Downer morning

I should be feeling good.  I should be proud of myself.  I did 200 crunches last night.  At one point William even told me I was strong.  But I got on the scale today and foun...

Good workout

Kevin and I had a good workout tonight.  The first thing William had us do was 100 crunches.  When the words first came out of his mouth, I thought, "Are you serious?"  But both Kevin a...

Reconnecting

Yesterday afternoon I met with several ex-coworkers from Lakes.  It was so good to hang out with them again.  So much has changed, yet for the most part they're still the same fun-loving, so...

Week is starting well.

It's only Tuesday night, but it's been a good week so far.  I had my annual employee review yesterday afternoon, and I'm not fired.  Whew!  I'll even be getting a raise in May. Kevin a...

Back in the saddle

I feel soooo good.  Kev and I joined a different fitness club, and we've worked out two nights in a row.  Last night I did the 50-minute treadmill workout and burned 328 calories.  Toni...

Feeling disconnected

When Kevin walked out the door this morning to go to work, I didn't expect to see him back less than 2 minutes later.  An ambulance and squad car were blocking the road in front of the neighbor's...

Witless Protection

Kev and I went to see Larry the Cable Guy's movie Witless Protection this afternoon.  We had to drive to Coon Rapids Show Place 16 because that was the closest place showing it.  It was...
