About to start EA Sports ACTIVE 30 day challenge with @TheAngelForever #
RT @TheAngelForever (about EA Sports ACTIVE): @kileigh7 Oh it will make you burn and burn and burn! #
RT @mike_elgan: Some people have waaay too much free time. Gummi Bear Surgery? http://bit.ly/KOCD7 #
Couldn’t get more than 1 trick on inline skating (EA Sports ACTIVE). @TheAngelForever got 9 of 9 tricks! Both proud & jealous of her! #
EA Sports ACTIVE tires out my muscles and, for some weird reason, makes me hungry. My muscles, however, refuse to drag me to the kitchen. #
Inline skating update. @TheAngelForever went 18 for 18. I went 1 for 18. Her comment: “Maybe my short stature works for something.” #
Finished 4 out of 5 Disney Photo Pass photo sections. Only 52 more photos in Epcot to process… But first, a strawberry smoothie. #
Forget the smoothie… too much work for my tired body. Strawberries & whipped cream is all my body will consent to prepare. #
Why can’t we have naptime when we’re grownups? My body is aching for a nap or 3. Muscles are tired & they’re dragging my brain down w/ them. #
I’d like to thank the EA Sports ACTIVE crew for making a great workout. My muscles want to strangle them, but just ignore them. #easactive #
Why is my computer locking up? Maybe because Firefox is taking up 430MB of memory? #
Working on our Disney Photo Pass photos. Only have 20 more to process and then we order the Photo CD. #
Just have photos of us with Donald and us with Goofy left. #
Really should head to sleep, but I just need to add a couple more borders to these Disney Photo Pass photos. #
Down to only the Goofy photos. Not going to do them tonight, though. Too tired. I think I can finish up the remaining 12 photos tomorrow. #
Time for some sleep. Good night all! #
RT @SouthwestAir Southwest has virtual queuing! Callers can hang up phone, keep place, & get call back when agent avail! http://bit.ly/cehot #
Someone in a meeting mentioned they had a big project scanning tons of photos & it was becoming a headache. I told them about @ScanMyPhotos. #
They were delighted that their project was going to become much easier to complete. #
Also told her about Winkflash photobooks & the flat rate sale they have every so often. She was very happy. (Meeting wasn’t about photos.) #
“Live Action” breakout: http://bit.ly/5RTcF
I wonder how long did it took to make this (and the loading sequence). #
Walking With Dinosaurs is coming near us. Was thinking of taking NHL, but then I checked out the ticket prices. $30-60/ticket? No thank you! #
I’m in the boys’ room trying to get them to go to sleep while @TheAngelForever works out. Boys are going beserk & won’t settle down. #
RT @ehomeupgrade: Xtreamer HDD Media Player / Streamer Hits the Scene http://ff.im/-3wcRV <= $197 for everything except HDD, sounds great. #
Add in this 250GB HDD for $60 & you have a complete media center for only $260! (Now if only I could convince @TheAngelForever we need this) #
Boys slowly calming down/settling. Not close to sleeping yet, though. #
My laptop battery only has 25 more mins of charge. Who will last longer, the boys or my battery? Taking bets now! 😉 #
JSL stands up & refuses to lay down. “Do you want daddy to go bye-bye?” “Nooo! *flop on pillow*” #
19 minutes left on my battery. Boys are slowly calming down more. My money’s on the boys outlasting the battery. #
100 Photopass photos down. 4 to go. Hoping to get at least one done before my battery dies on me. #
2 of the remaining 4 Disney PhotoPass photos done. Only 7 mins left on my battery. Going to concede & put my laptop in other room to charge. #
Boys are finally asleep. Time for me to finish up the Disney PhotoPass photos and then sew some buttons back on my suits. #
Last Disney PhotoPass photo’s last border done. We started w/ 104 photos. Now at 512 w/ all the borders applied. Now to order the PhotoCD. #
Maybe I *won’t* order the Disney PhotoPass CD now. When I pre-ordered, it said Express Shipping was included. Now it’s adding $7 shipping. #
I’ll call tomorrow to question the shipping charge. For now, I need a snack & then need to sew buttons. #
Time for bed. I’m going to sleep early tonight: 11:30! #
Called Disney PhotoPass & cleared up the shipping issue. The free PhotoCD preorder shipping is because they just “ship” you an e-mail. #
When the actual Disney PhotoPass PhotoCD is ordered, they add in the cost to ship the CD ($7 for standard, $11 for express). #
RT @mike_elgan: Someone found two bullets that collided in mid-air during a war in 1854. http://bit.ly/22Bd5o <= Mythbusters did this once. #
RT @thinkgeek: Your dad’s a tool! Wait. We meant, you should win your dad a tool: http://cli.gs/bqWXrW <= This Swiss Army Knife’s insane! #
RT @OwenC: The problem with fitting something genius in 140chars is that noone can retweet it in it’s entirety #
Eating a hard boiled egg & wondering if it is possible to “hard boil” egg substitute (or egg white from a carton) to lower calories/fat. #
I’ve drank 32oz of water in about an hour and a half. Still thirsty. That reminds me, I need to call about my blood sugar test results. #
Called my doctor an hour ago to get the results of the blood test I took a week ago. Wonder how long it’ll take them to call me back. #
I addition to #easactive Day 4 last night, I did a custom workout. Running, dancing, boxing & inline skating. Was good, but needs tweaking. #
Is it 4:30 yet? *checks clock* No, but almost. #
Is it bad that I wish I wasn’t at work right now, but working out w/ EA Sports ACTIVE? I think I’m addicted to #easactive workouts! #
After doing her normal 30 day challenge workout & a custom one she just made, @TheAngelForever is glistening! 😉 #easactive #
This stinks. In the middle of my EA Sports Active workout (11 of 18), the Wii fell off its perch & reset. Now I have to start all over. #
The Wii is ok. Was caught by its own cords. But one vital cord came out & reset the Wii. Our running causes too many floor vibrations. #
Looked at a local photo scanning service. $0.95/photo+$5.99. 262 photos’d be $255. At that price, I’ll buy a new scanner & do it myself. #
EA Sports Active workout got me so tired today that I can’t even sit. Twittering & web browsing from the floor. #easactive #
Looking through my Grandma’s photos, I found a really old one (1800’s) of my great-grandma w/ Russian text on back. Can anyone read Russian? #
I took 2 years of Russian in college but promptly forgot everything the day after my last Russian final. 😉 #
RT @BadAstronomer: Homeopathy kills. http://tr.im/nyt0 <= Awful story of a child dying from eczema… yes, eczema! #
