Imperfect Woman (progress update)

Since nobody commented, I can assume very few people (if any) are reading this and I can ramble all I want.
I met my goal of a 45 minute cardio workout and 48 oz of water.  I have continued with the water daily and have completed one other 45 minute workout (Saturday).   I also stepped [...]

Travel and family fun

We are out of town for the third wedding of the season and another family filled weekend.  I’m actually meeting the hubby after traveling from the west coast while he travels from the east coast.  We have family members traveling from the west and the east to celebrate the second wedding of a cousin this [...]

Week One, weak one

So we are in our new place and totally out of our old place! Hurray!  I have now had a full week to unpack so it’s beginning to take shape.  Before we even had time to unload any boxes we were already participating in the social events of our new place.  The movers had been [...]

No catchy title…just ramdom stuff.

Well, we are back home and back to the old routines.  Lots going on this summer so I’ll try to keep you posted.  We had a wonderful time at our son’s wedding and are holding on to the pictures for a few days before we post them all.  We have compiled pics from several family [...]

Time Estimates for projects

I may be the only one in the world who always under-estimates how long a project will take to complete.  I am currently working on a knitting project that I should have had done weeks ago…since I started it months ago.  The book says that each of the six portions should take 4-6 hours.  So, [...]

Wedding, Travel, and so much more

Just in case you have not heard, our son is getting married! Woot!  We have had our airline tickets for quite some time .  I think I have the best end of this deal.  I just have to show up, swipe a credit card for one small event, and sit back and produce tears of [...]

New Roc to DC

If you have not tried Amtrak lately you may not know what a pleasant experience it can be.  Years ago our family took a trip on Amtrak down the west coast.  It was fun to hang with the family but the train took forever and ever.  As I recall there was a freight train ahead [...]

Weekend the short version

Mostly I sat around not walking the stairs.  I walked 8 flights of stairs to feed my neighbor’s cat Saturday morning and then headed back to bed.  When I got out of bed at about 9 a.m. , I discovered that my left knee was causing me a great deal of pain.  So, I spent the [...]

Sneak preview & weekend projects

Thursday night we attended a sneak preview of Transporter 3 starring Jason Statham.  While I can’t really talk about the movie,  I will say that Jason Statham was a site to behold.  He must certainly spend as much time in the gym as the rest of us spend sleeping.   If you liked his other movies, [...]

CITYterm, Movie, and a baby blanket.

Friday night I attend the CITYterm Neighborhood Study presentations.  The two neighborhoods that the students visited were Roosevelt Island and Jackson Heights.  The entire experience was amazing.  Fifteen high school students spent 4 days learning about and experiencing Roosevelt Island.  Their presentation Friday demonstrated that they were able to learn more about Roosevelt Island in [...]
