Back when we bought our washer and dryer the sales people told us that the dryer would dry a load in the time it took the washer to wash a load.  Now, in my entire laundry experience, it always seemed that the dryer took at least twice as long as the washer.  I even said it would be perfect to have one washer and two dryers.  So having a dryer that ( Read more... )

Where does the time go?  I keep forgetting to update.  In the last 3 weeks I missed one day of walking due to rain, so that's 28 miles.  That brings the total miles on these shoes to 394.

Jeffrey started walking with me again this week.  He had stopped for a while because he got a really bad cramp in his leg playing basketball.  Never having had ( Read more... )

Holidays really mess with my walking schedule.  It's already Thursday night, and I've only walked twice this week.  Jeffrey and I walked a little later than usual on Tuesday.  Because of Beth's surgery, he didn't go to work and we got up about an hour later than normal.  That means we got to see the sunrise and enjoy a little light on our ( Read more... )

I guess the week was the same length as all of them, but I only walked 3 days.  The other two days I shoveled snow off the driveway instead.  Since that's good exercise, I'm not complaining.  I didn't make it to 300 miles on the shoes, though - just 296.

Jeffrey didn't walk with me this week at all.  We shoveled Monday morning, then he got up early ( Read more... )

Yesterday was our 22nd anniversary. We don't usually make a big deal of anniversaries, but we did manage to go out last night. Jeffrey got some tickets to the Midsummer Magic event at Old World Wisconsin. We've toyed with the idea of going before but never actually did it, but we certainly weren't going to turn down free tickets!

It was a ( Read more... )

Jeffrey was thinking about joining an exercise club close to work.  He's been watching what he eats since Thanksgiving, but he hasn't really added any exercise - except playing basketball a couple times.  The problem with the exercise club is that they don't have showers, so he couldn't go early and work out before work.  He would have to go after ( Read more... )

Cory and I went to the library yesterday, mainly to return stuff that was due.  I also had to pick up The Santa Clause 3, since that came in for me.  I love requesting movies from the library.  I sort of looked at some books while we were there, but not seriously because I have plenty here that I need to read.  I have a hard time going to the ( Read more... )

Jeffrey went to Baraboo for work on Friday.  He left without his glasses.  At least that's what he thought.  So he worked all day without them.  Once he got home, he started looking to see where he had left them, and he could not find them.  Anywhere.  And he looked everywhere.  No glasses.  No case.  Remember, these are the new glasses that he ( Read more... )

which is, of course, the way it should be!

Jeffrey got his eyes checked a couple weeks ago.  This time he gets to wear bifocals.  Since his eyes aren't really that bad, he decided to wait to get new glasses until I found a good deal on them.  This Sunday's paper had an ad from Stein Optical advertising no-line bifocals - two pair for $149, so we ( Read more... )

My husband got up in the middle of the night slash early morning and then he never came back to bed.  I kind of noticed when he got up and left the room, but then I went back to sleep and didn't notice until I woke up this morning to find his side of the bed empty.  He spent all that time shoveling the driveway yesterday evening so people could ( Read more... )
