  • Still here!

    I haven't blogged here in quite some time. I have been busy with my running,  training and life in general. I have posted in my other blog if you are interested in details, but here are photos of what I have been up to in the past few months.

    Less computer time, more sleeping and - as you might have noticed - no knitting, because I haven't figured out yet how to insert my favorite hobbie in a busy healthy lifestyle.  For now running and knitting do not seem to be very compatible to me, although I know very healthy and active knitters. I just need to work on managing my time better, but for now I don't miss knitting. Maybe because of the warmer weather. I seem to be missing thread crochet more... Go figure!

  • One of my DUH moments...

    Sorry I haven't posted here in a long time, but I am currently training for my first Running Race (March 9)  and it takes time and efftorts to get in good shape for such event... I have lost 41 lbs since I have become a Vegetarian in October 2007, and still working on my Body Fat Percentage.

    ~ I have posted in my other blog if you are interested in details ~

    But the reason I am here today, is to share this silly thing that happened to me a few days ago...

    I went to town on my own  - which I don't do too often - and I accidentally paid for the parking spot next to mine... silly me!  I was so SHOCKED when I saw the "Violation" flyer on my windshield!!!

    On top of that, the store I was going to was CLOSED, and I was only away from my car for 3 minutes or so...

    Well, I am glad I don't have to pay $15 because that was my first ticket, so I am not going to make a fuss to the Town, but still I find the locations of those "piggy banks" machines pretty confusing...

    Oh well... Leave and learn, huh?

  • Blog Action Day for the Environment


    Bloggers Unite - Blog Action Day

    Today, October 15, is Blog Action Day.  Bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind - the environment. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future.

    Here are 3 ways to participate:

    My humble conribution to a better environment:

    To help the environment, I do and also try to educate my kids to pay attention to little things that may seem to be a drop in the ocean, but I am sure can make a difference. For example, I limit my gas comsumption by going groceries only once a week, I try not to overuse water, I turn off the light when I leave a room, and we are recycling everything that can be, etc ... 

    “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.”

    ~ Margaret Mead ~

    Also - it is new - I have decided to take a shot at eating ovolacto vegetarian, to support your own body right along with the rest of the world.


    Now, what have you done to help the environment today?
