I don’t think I have ever worked my body so hard as I did yesterday with a trainer from the gym I just joined. I worked my upper arms, shoulders, and pecs. I tell ya, I had to make an effort to lift anything higher than my shoulders after I left the gym.

I was surprised to find that I didn’t mind having someone continually tell me to keep going. I am not sure if I will actually pay this person to train me, but I am considering it. Anyone that has never worked with a trainer should try it at least once.

I found this blog while searching through the different things you can add to your igoogle homepage. This puzzle took me a good 2 1/2 hours to work through it. Some of the steps were outside my knowledge areas, but it was fun figuring it out.

Go ahead, give it a try:

Let me know how long it took you.

From Monday to yesterday, I had snow days. No work and really nothing else to do, so I baked. I made banana bread, whole wheat bread, snickerdoodles, and shepherds pie. They all pretty much turned out good, except I had to try the whole wheat bread a second time, due to unhappy yeast. The first loaf turned into a rock. However, I am presently enjoying a piece from the second loaf and it taste great with peanut butter and jelly.

Would you prefer to live in a state that has a lot of snow and has the equipment/know-how to remove it, or in a state that has a little snow (comparatively) but does not have the necessary means to handle it?

I haven’t quite decided myself, but I can say that having a half day of work on a Friday is all right with me. :)
