(no subject)
Despite the less than savory dream I woke up from around noon [something about living in Detriot.. ugh!], I've had a quite pleasing day thus far. My cousin Carissa dropped her girls off to spend the day while she ran errands. Amyiah is two & a half and Myleigh is 5 or 6 months old. Amyiah usually tends to follow me around and want me to play with her constantly. We're both left-handed, which she thinks is just about the most awexome thing ever. Aww! Today we coloured and then played with a train set before I ventured downstairs to work out while watching the first part of Wild Wild West, which actually has a lot of really nifty steampunkish elements. I'd forgotten Kevin Kline was in it! I've had a nerd crush on him since I first saw him in A Fish Called Wanda. I'm not even going to tackle the subject of Bai Ling playing Miss East. Rawr. ^_~
Words of Wisdom: Running sideways on a treadmill is more difficult than it looks!
I think I've strained muscles I didn't know the existence of [and I'm pretty adept at anatomy & physiology!]. Afterwards I made a fantastic [and fantastically healthy] sammich. Basically a salad wrapped in a sun-dried tomato tortilla. The filling was julienned carrots, onions, green peppers, and cucumber with a couple thin slices of turkey breast [just oven roasted, no weird faux smoke flavour or artificial honey added! :P] and some Newman's Own light honey mustard dressing. Tasty and filling. Well, almost. An hour later I ate a black plum. hehe.
Later tonight? Probably watching the rest of Wild Wild West and finishing up some knitting [for whatever reason, I can never remember how to bind off stitches]. I'm still only halfway through the neglected Tom Clancy novel I've been reading, The Tail of the Tiger. Mmmm.... espionage! Makes me want to watch old James Bond movies. With Sean Connery as 007. ^_^* I may take a swim later, if it stays this warm. The weather isn't particularly sunny, so I'm not terribly motivated to go jump in the lake. Even if I do need to practice my breast stroke! haha. ^_~ If I don't swim, I'll just do the usual freeweights, crunches, and pushups. I'm trying to get back into the habit of working out daily. Wish me luck.... or better yet, harrass me and bust my ass to keep me focused!
