So today was the first time I really played Ultimate Frisbee since high school. So... *thinks* 7 years? About? And yeah, I'm not exactly in (if I ever was) Ultimate shape (no pun intended) but it was lots of fun. There was a moment near the beginning when I drank too much water and it was too hot and gross and ew, but that passed. Nice people, and ( Read more... )

Got to see the girls' lacross games today (who I am here after calling Chicks with Sticks, because it's funny) and though they got beaten 4-1 in the first game (though playing well) we killed the second team 10-1, so that was good. 3rd and 4th graders are cute. They missed Younger Sister, who is still with my parents ( Read more... )

So I went for a 2 mile walk today (no school to teach, lots of fiddly errandy things) and had this grand plan of watching either Boondock Saints (because... duh) or The Five Red Herrings because at least the accents would be close-ish (I do not mean this to mean that Irish accents are really similar to Scottish/English, but it's at least the right ( Read more... )

So it turns out that the second grade teacher is now sick (seeing as she felt "oddly light headed" at lunch, this is not so much of a surprise), so instead of teaching preschool, I am teaching second grade. Hard to keep up with my rapidly shifting life ( Read more... )

Treadmill: 40 mins yesterday, 35 today
Rowing machine: 5 mins yesterday, 6 today. Booyah. *pumps fist*

Alsoalso, it's officially been my birthday for 2 hours and 47 minutes, which is exciting. I kept meaning to post to sheafrotherdon's picspam of Joe Flanigan's hotness in honor of his birthday today (er, yesterday, the 5th) but instead was bitten with a fic ( Read more... )

Last night I discovered that yes, I have been eating my weight in potato chips. So the great exercise movement of 2008 has commenced. I treadmilled* 2.4 miles for approximately 40 minutes, which is.. better than nothing at all. Still, the point is to move, so move I did ( Read more... )

FINALLY went for a walk again. Even went to Color Me Mine to pick up the adorable lion mug that my friend made... and the amazingly awful coffee cup I painted. Next time I decide to free form paint STRIPES on a mug? Remind me it's a bad idea. *sigh ( Read more... )

The school I'm subbing at (which I might call Labyrinth, because of the maze-like construction fencing) is so adorable and the two teachers who I work with seemed appreciative and happy to have me there. They're both really nice, so that's excellent (although to be fair, everyone I have met at Labyrinth is really friendly). The low point was that ( Read more... )

Have discovered that there is a Peets coffee about a mile from my house. If you do not like in California (or, I suppose, drink coffee) you won't know that Peets is basically the best coffee. Ever. Better than Starbucks (*gasp!*) So today I finally hauled my lazy, lazy ass out of bed and walked the 2ish miles roundtrip and rewarded myself with a ( Read more... )

A little tired, a little stressed. Yup. I finished and sent in a job app, though, which is good. Please, world, I would like a job, thank you. Also went for a walk and did not die going back up the hill of doom. Excellent.

Probably had some big point to this post when I opened the window, but I've lost it now. Oh well.

I hear Stardust is ( Read more... )
