Today's Words Of Glass

Whew. I went running this evening. Since I've moved to PA, it's been difficult for me to stay motivated to exercise. But, I decided to get out there today and see what I could do. I walked the 2 large hills, but I ran the majority of the distance. Maybe I worked off part of the Philly Cheesesteak, fries and huge ice cream cone :)

Spring is finally here. Here are some trees in our yard. And one pic of my tulips that came up. I'm glad the snow is gone :)

I haven’t written anything in awhile. I guess I’m just trying to get adjusted to working and keeping up with all of the household duties. We are all doing fine. HG has been sick, but is getting better. Tula hasn’t been eaten by Sally. And, I’m doing fine with work. It’s hectic and stressful, but most days I am enjoying it. I think once I learn more of the duties and have a better idea on how things work, I will feel more confident. It’s nice to get a paycheck again. I did have an adventure this week. I was at the gym and noticed a girl using a machine that works your calf muscle. Of course this girl was ‘fit.’ I grunted to myself and said if she can do it, so can I! After she finished on the machine, I went over and sat down. I had never used this machine before and many of you know that I’m not mechanically minded. In fact, if someone put me in a paper sack and it was left up to me to get out, I would probably panic first, before I realized I could just climb out. But here I was, sitt...

Well.. I survived day 1 on the job without having someone there to train me. It was intense as I had my first contract come in today, but it appears that I did ok. Time will tell. :)

Cold, cold, cold... the wind chill today was below zero. We woke up Saturday to what they said would be a dusting of snow. Instead, it was a suprise to see this... :)

For those of you who haven’t heard, I’m not a big fan of ‘ice’. I told HG that I needed a can of de-icer. He laughed and so did the others around us in the aisle at Wal-mart. However, to appease me, he bought a can. The first icing event, I put on my cute snow boots, went out to my car and proceeded to ‘de-ice’ the windshield. Now would be a good time to mention that I did not anticipate the time necessary to ‘de-ice’ a vehicle. An HOUR later, and an entire can of de-icer gone, my windshield wipers were still inoperable. So, I did what any southern girl with little patience would do, I took my pretty purple ice scraper and began beating the wipers, as if to punish them for causing me so much frustration. Frustrated, I came back inside and call my husband. He patiently proceeded to tell me to possibly try warm water. After speaking with him, I considered this, but it would involve time on my part and I was short on time. I proceeded to beat my wipers until they gave up the ice. I’m sure...
