Current Mood:  bored
And again, I have nothing to do at work today. I thought about going down to the mouse room, but there really isn't enough to do there. I could tail prep some mice, but I might as well wait for the new pups to be weaned and get them all at the same time. We don't have enough mice to do the experiments the boss wants to do anyway. So, I have to wait for them to breed...the story of my life, I swear. And that's just sad.
Stuff outside work is more exciting (relatively, which isn't saying much). I am trying to exercise more. To that end, I actually signed up for an exercise class starting next month, and I'm going to walk 5K for a charity on Sunday. :) I was also good today and parked in the far lot, so I have to hike to the car. I always thought that lot was about a mile away, but my GPS unit says it's more like a mile and a half. Go figure.
And speaking of the GPS, my mom and I had our first successful geocaching experience! We tried a multi-stage hunt a few weeks ago, and just could not find the first clue. We know where it should be, but not what it is. So, we headed out to Hofma Park on Sunday, and found two caches (mom found one and I found the other)! We also found the first clue of a multi stage cache, but my mom was freezing and didn't want to hike over the whole park, so I wrote the second set of coordinates down for later. Our first try left us very discouraged, but now we're geeked and ready to go find more! :)
The april drawing challenge is still going on. I've drawn more than last year, but haven't been drawing every day. It's not like I'm any good anyway (or ever will be), so if I don't feel like drawing, I just don't. I have two biggish cross stitch projects that are almost done (just backstitching now) that I'd like to finish by the end of the month, so they've been taking up a lot of my time.
I've still been twittering, but not as much. I guess the novelty is gone. *l* I do read it everyday though. Something weird though: I've gotten three new followers in the past few days whom I don't know. Now why in the world would you follow someone you don't know unless they were a celebrity? Weirdos. Maybe they're trying to set records for following the most people or something. Because believe me, my twitters are nothing exciting. At all. Even remotely.
More good news, we have a Hobby Lobby now! According to one of my stitching friends, the new store on Ford Road is open! I plan on going Saturday and maybe meeting up with some of my stitching group. :) Of course, this would have been way more exciting a few years ago, before Hobby Lobby decided that carrying different stuff than Joanns and Michaels was just wrong! Yes, heaven forbid they offer stuff that no one else did and actually attract customers! They still have some different stuff, but not enough to make special trips (we used to drive an hour and half to the nearest HL). But since it's close, I'll go.
Well, I think I have sucessfully wasted enough time. Go me. :-P |
