Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that makes me happy: Sleeping in.
Something i am struggling with: Not eating sugary things, which i have been craving lately.
Something tasty: Canteloupe. With salt.
Something i learned: Lots of neat stuff about how the brain works from the book i am reading.
Something from the bridge table: I’m trying to find an easier way to write-up and/or format bridge hands. It is a fairly major obstacle blocking my motivation to write columns about cool hands, because formatting the hands to appear on this site is so cumbersome.
Some things i am doing towards my goals: We’re finally getting to the yard. Our yard has been the unkempt yard on the street for a few years now. We asked someone to come out and give an estimate on making it look pretty, and it’s very reasonably priced, so we’re going to hire him.
Something i am reading: Nearly done with How We Decide by Jonah Lehrer. It is fascinating. If i ever change careers, it might just be to study the psychology of the mind.
Something happening around the house: We borrowed the first two seasons of 24 from a friend. I watched Season 1 a loong time ago. We watched the first three episodes, and somehow Lance is not sucked in.
Something i am thinking: I picked Ohio State to win in the NCAA bracket at work, to show solidarity with my boyfriend (and since i will have to watch all their games anyway). Their chances significantly increased when Kansas lost, and my chances of winning the bracket increased, too, because my sources tell me nearly everyone at work picked Kansas to win. Oops.
Something i am looking forward to: Having a nice-looking yard that isn’t so out-of-control that we can’t manage it.
Something i am hoping: That i get in a workout today.
Something random: I like to take cold showers in the steam room at work after a workout. There’s something about being hot after a workout, and then stepping into a hot room with cold water… i can’t really describe why i like it, but i love it.
Something captured: The front of our house, “before” the landscaping was done. Hopefully i can post the “after” shot in another week or two.

what about the back yard? are you doing anything with it? or do people who like cold showers not care about the back yard?

the front yard looks awesome now. i think we are doing the back as well, but that project may take weeks for the crew, lol
