Sunday Somethings, 31Jan10
Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that makes me happy: Being productive and getting things done.
Something i am struggling with: Bidding slams at bridge. I’m not sure when i got so conservative.
Something tasty: Homemade peanut butter cups.
Something i learned: Regular salt from your cabinet works pretty well at dissolving ice on the front steps.
Something from the bridge table: Raleigh is hosting its bridge tournament this weekend. I’m looking forward to playing, and also am glad the partnership job is almost over.
Some things i am doing towards my goals: The “Leanest Loser” program through my work officially starts. I can easily handle the water-drinking and fruit/veggie-eating portions of the program.
Something i am reading: Stephen King’s Under the Dome. It’s due this weekend at the library. I’m not going to make it.
Something happening around the house: Lots and lots of cooking this weekend. For us while we’re snowed in, for friends who just had a baby, and for the bridge tournament this weekend.
Something i am thinking: I’m glad we got a nice snow, but now i’m ready for spring.
Something i am looking forward to: Meeting and holding a tiny new baby.
Something i am hoping: To get through this extremely busy week smoothly and with as little stress as possible.
Something random: I walked to the grocery store to get a few needed items. The store is about a half mile away. Walking in snow is harder than normal walking.
Something captured: Out in the snow, one of the rare time Raleigh actually gets a good winter storm.

Walking in snow (especially towards a destination) is one of my favorite forms of exercise, second only to swimming towards a destination. I walked to the post office on a snow day last month, and the memory of it is still keeping me happy on days when I need a boost.
