We’ve joined a gym and have started working out again, rather, I have started working out. Hubby hasn’t felt well this week (he has head congestion and all the crud that comes with it). This evening I used the I Pod that he gave me as a Christmas gift. Don’t laugh, but what a fantastic little invention! I am so behind the times. I really enjoyed my own music but I had to turn the volume up to drown out the video music that was being piped out over the load speaker. I hope I didn’t damage my eardrums. Instead of watching the video that didn’t match my music, I started reading the closed captions on the news. It was the first time I heard about the Hudson River plane crash! I really need to pay more attention to the outside world! I can’t remember when I watched the news last, not even the weather! We get a Sunday paper, but just because I want to clip the coupons and Hubby and the grandson want to read the comics (they both watch the news). So, in addition to trying to develop muscle tone, I may try to develop my mind a little more. I really don’t like watching the news or reading the newspapers because I don’t trust the reporters. Nor do I want to hear about the horrible stuff that goes on all over the world and in my own city. But, I think I’ll get my head out of the sand and at least make an effort to stretch my knowledge on current events a little bit better.
We are childless this weekend and I plan to work on my kitchen walls. I need to go back over them and make sure I have all the old wallpaper paste off before we start filling, sanding, priming and painting. This is going to be a long project, especially if I don’t work on it more than once every few weeks! The person responsible for me starting this project will be back visiting in March for the toddler’s birthday. At this rate, maybe she will be able to help finish what she started! Seriously, though, I hope I can finish it before she comes back. My eldest daughter is a great motivator when it comes to remodeling. I think the comment that finally did it was, “If you would just take those lace curtains down, it would make a world of difference.” So, I’m on my way to modernizing my kitchen and breakfast room. Time, time, time! I need more time!

I wouldn't be dissapointed if you finished the project before I make it back to H town. :) But I'll certianly help you finish if you aren't done by then.
