Catching Up

Well, let me think of what I’ve been up to…..working…lol  No surprise.

I had payroll to do and that was enough.  I did try to start the prep for it a few days earlier and that was a huge help.  I actually wasn’t as stressed to the wire as normal. I’m going to try to make a better habit of that.  It gave me a good breather before I had to start ordering everything.

The next day, I had to take care of the other 2 depts.  By the end of Friday, my brain was dead, so I really didn’t get to the books until Sunday.

I have taken time here and there to play with my phone and ipod.  I found some songs that I can trim down for ringtones.  So that is my next project for that.  But I did find an app for icq and wordpress.  It will be nice that when we travel, that when I just want to surf for news or such, that I don’t have to haul out my laptop.

I did get some messages taken care of, which has been

I have been doing good at the gym, not as good as I want, but still good.  I got up 3.49mile in 30….not bad.  I’m up to 89# on the adobnimal machine, my lower abs are sore after doing my floor abs.  My thighs have been sore and I hope to be able to keep it going.  Looking forward to doing some outside work this weekend to enforce it.

It has been raining for about a week now.  We have had 2.09inches so far this month and the normal is .48inches by this time.  We are suppose to have a dry spell until Sunday night.  We have been getting sunshine peeking in on and off, especially in the evening.  Which makes you crave more sunshine.  But I will say, I’ve never lived in a area that gets so much hail.  It is small, but like today all of the sudden after some sun, we got hit with a bunch of small hail that left the neighbor’s roof steaming afterwards with the temperature difference.  It is kind of wacky.

This weekend we hope to be able to get rid of the last pile of yard waste.  We need to get more bird seed and a few more feeders (the squirrels broke the other 2) eventually.  I’ve been enjoying watching the birds coming by.  We’ve had a Scrub Blue Jay, Gold Finch, House Sparrow and a few hummingbirds.  I had a hummingbird startle me on our balcony the other day….I heard this motorized sounding noise and look up and see a hummingbird going for our fushias.  =)

Saw the final espidoe of Scrubs last night.  This wasn’t their best season, didn’t start out the strongest, but it ended very well.  I’m really going to miss it, but I hope they don’t try and bring it back.  It is time for it to end.  I really, really loved it when they lined the hallway with past patients and characters and then JD had images of what his future might hold.  Of course, him getting Dr Cox to say what he felt for him was classic.   Just need to get this season on DVD and it looks like Boston Legal’s final season was released this week….need to pick that up while it is still on sale.

________________________________________________

This is the hike we did this past October 30, I have wanted to start a online hike blog and just haven’t gotten to it yet, so I’ll post this here to remind me to do it.

Holy Frack! I just noticed the bridge is out at Triple Falls, that is around the last 3-4 miles from the direction we took, had it been out when we was there we would have been so fucked, it was dusk by the time we got there, we would have had to go back up and down a hard ass trail with little food and water and small flash light.

Good thing I don’t stress over what could have happen, but I am happy we got packs, head lamps, and extra gear for “what could happen”.

Monday we are going to take a few hours to all day off and just go on a few hikes and see what happens.

I’m thinking we are going to grab some Starbucks, some subs and snacks and just take off with our packs and cameras and see what we see on some of these trails.

I’m thinking trails 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and maybe 53 and 16, all are easy to moderate and less than 2 miles each, so depending on which trails we take and crowd and everything else, we may also drive to The Dalles since she has never been that far East on I84 and that is one of the most incredible scenes from a highway that there is in the US.

Tuesday is a must work day since we blew this weekend and now Monday off and Wednesday after the garbage takes away all the yard waste we collected (and will be getting rid of for at least the next 3 weeks since we are limited to 1 large container) and some new running shoes I desperately need since my feet and knees are taking a beating are suppose to be delivered.

We laid some river rock and stone path last weekend and naturally we didn’t get enough of either so we made a second trip to Home Depot Monday to get more of both and naturally I dropped a 70# jagged piece of slat into my right knee and bruised and gashed it some and still we was 2 more rocks short since the space I thought would work wouldnt, so for the 3rd time in a week we moved rocks.

That is getting kind of old.

Oh yeah, Wednesday we are also going to Vancouver, BC for the night to to see Diesle and hopefully meet some other friends in the city the next morning for breakfast and some freinds in Seattle for dinner on the way back.

Tonight I also made our annual $55 donation to the billionaire Vince McMahon and ordered WrestleMania 25 and outside a stunning Shawn Michael’s vs Undertaker (who is now 17-0 at WrestleMania) it wasn’t worth much more than $25 but I did enjoy Ricky Steamboat vs Jericho, for his age Steamboat did well, but got bored with the Micky Rourke story, but it made the mainstream news which is what its all about.

Jim Cramer will be on The Daily Show *TONIGHT*!!!!

I will give him credit, I didn’t think he had the balls.

Bill Maher and T Boone Pickens – I think this is a must see.
