( JLPT, How Much I Weight Now, New Household Budget, and Who Is To Blame )

Okay, off I go into the great unknown (okay, the now very well-known and well-traveled) toward Nike. It's really getting to be routine for me now, which is kinda crap because soon I may have to completely change how I do this walking-to-get-fit thing. I've been pushing myself to put in three hours, not just two, but if I get a job, that'll cut down ( Read more... )

Just got home, with Milly calling just as I crossed the threshold. It's warmed up considerably. When I set out this morning for Nike it was 55'F and now it's 82'F. I need to actually change my outfit a bit (I knew I might need to when I set out, so I layered) before I head back out for my third hour of walking today. My legs are getting ( Read more... )

Maybe it's just a mood I get into sometimes, but I go through periods where I take pictures of myself. Part of it is that unlike in real life, there is a way to make yourself appear prettier than you are through photography. There are angles, lighting, and such that all can add to your physical attractiveness to make you gain Plus Pretty Points. ( Read more... )

Today is my "day off" so to speak. I don't have to walk to Nike, and that is of the good.

I'm very excited because today I decided to find myself some Japanese Pen Pals. I need a reason to practice my kanji. I am just not getting very far on my own studying time because I learn a kanji, then two days later...I haven't used it for any reason, so I don't remember it. =( This way, I will be typing Japanese, which is a lot easier because ( Read more... )

I decided that since LJ was just going to be DIFFICULT for NO REASON on the uploading of the pictures, that instead, I would use Facebook. So, if you would like to see the world I live in, or at least a part of it that we see when we go out on a walk, check out the facebook. I also uploaded my Zoo pictures there (as some of you already know), and ( Read more... )

Oh sigh. I'm in one of those odd, "I'm in a good mood, and happy, but dissatisfied at the same time" moods. I feel that lately, the happier I've become, the farther away my friends are. When things were bad, and I could do little more than complain/bitch/moan, I'd get people commenting, or texting, or calling...but, now that I'm happy, and things ( Read more... )

Today! We are going on a walk for the first time in probably a month now. We just kept making excuses, so yesterday I declared that today we would go on a walk. Brian at the least has to get back into walking shape if he's going to manage to walk even one direction to work. He's not in walking shape anymore since we stopped walking--he had trouble ( Read more... )
