Digging Out
Friday, February 26th 2010
Record snowfall yesterday. We got all of the 22.4 inches reported for our area. I shoveled the first half in two passes yesterday until The Mister came home and fired up the old Gravely for the first time this winter to deal with the end of the drive where the DOT plows push the snow. He's out there this morning while I cook oats and prepare to snowshoe out to the feeders.
(The pile in the center of the driveway is where I heave most of the snow when I shovel.)...
My New Favorite Treat
Wednesday, February 24th 2010
For the past few weeks I've been MIA as far as CK is concerned. I've been keeping up on several blogs but I haven't been commenting or posting much myself. I blame it all on Zumba.Last fall I found out the local OASIS program offers Zumba classes.

Valentine's Day

It wasn't really about Valentine's Day it was about being offered a place to stay for a weekend in NYC so we ended up spending the holiday seeing some very un-Valentine productions: another Arthur Miller play and "Carmen" at the Met.I have mixed feelings about big-name film actors being used to drum up business for Broadway but there wasn't anything else we really wanted to see. As it turned out it was one of the best things we've seen onstage.
I didn't even tr...
Lindt Creation 70%
Sunday, February 7th 2010
I'd be a lot closer to my goal if it weren't for the chocolate. Usually I eat plain dark chocolate but my nephew brought some Lindt chocolate at Christmas including my first taste of Lindt Creation 70% Cherry & Chili. I can get it locally and I think I've eaten one square everyday since. Very nice.Yesterday I peeked in the Lindt store at the mall and found this:
Fortunately it's more expensive and I don't get to this mall very often......
Embraces Broken and Otherwise
Friday, February 5th 2010
I think I've slipped into a kind of maintenance without consciously intending to do so. I've been logging my meal plan every morning (sticking pretty closely to it but not always going back to add the extra nuts or piece of bread) and I've maintained or increased my level of activity but I'm just not spending a lot of time thinking about diet and exercise. No real change in my weight: 143 to 145.Yesterday I did stick to my meal plan but I used the only listing from the database I could fin...
