No Elliptical For Me Today!!

The sun came out and actually put off enough heat to break us out of our deep freeze today!  Finally!  So I went out to start digging out from the blizzard we had yesterday.  Just as I start the neighbor showed up with his tractor and cleaned it all up for me in a matter of minutes!  Well, now I had nothing to do.  The last thing i wanted to do was be in the house.  Ah, yes, the snow shoes.  I strapped them on and headed for the hills.

I headed out back and started walking.  I quickly set my goal as the top of one of the boobie hills (yes, they are called the boobie hills, because there are two, and they look like boobies).  It was quite the walk but since the lake was frozen I could cut across it.

It took about 45 minutes to get there, mostly up hill.  But I love the view from the top.

I can see my house from here!

The pics on the iPod didnt turn out that great but considering I couldn't see the screen with the sun glare I think I did alright :)

Going back was easier but it was way more work then I thought it would be.  How hard can walking be right?  Well, it was a pretty good work out.  Next time I will know to bring some water with me.  Only saw a crow on this trip but lots of coyote tracks and rabbit poop.  I will still take that over a spin on the eliptical any day!

Yup, I get hungry too

I had lunch today in the city at Chili's.  I really like Chili's, i always have.  I was dining alone today.  Wanted to grab a bite and work on blog posts and such.  I couldn't help but notice I was getting some strange looks.  Sorry, I'm hungry and I want to eat.  Just cause I'm alone doesn't mean i dont get hungry any more.  I don't particularly mind eating alone, I get stuff done, but it sure seemed to bother other people.  How about keep your nose in your own business and your eyes on your own table and let me write in peace.  Either that or come join me.  Then you'll have a real reason to feel uncomfortable :)

The Olympics Are Here! Well, next weekend actually and in Russia

I love the Olympics, winter or summer.  Non stop sports.  The TV coverage usually isn't too bad although we will likely not get much for live coverage this year since they are in Russia.  Its kinda too bad but what can you do, Canada can't host them every year.  Nice to see hockey star Haley carrying the flag for us.  I think she was an excellent choice.  Can't wait to see what our athletes will be wearing.  I always think we are the best dressed :) I am actually just having lunch at Chili's now and then I am going to pick up some Olympic clothes for myself.  Something warm since it's not getting any warmer here any time soon.  Go Canada Go!

PS My awesome boss lent me some snow shoes so hopefully the weather will hold up this weekend and I can try them out before plopping on the couch for Super Bowl!
