Well I did well on my math test, made one stupid little mistake. I guess in the whole realm of things, one mistake is better than several! The professor says the second test is easier but then the third test is extremely hard, oh joy.

I have grown tired of the Olympics yet continue to watch a few of my favorite events. I am still fascinated by short track skating and anything snowboard related. I suppose if my knees were in much better shape I would consider giving snowboarding a try. I spent a great deal of time in my youth on the slopes and even raced a little bit. It however totally wrecked both my knees, and that I am paying for as I age.

I am considering starting that couch to 5k program. My youngest son started it a few weeks ago, and I have been told it builds you up slowly enough that knees adapt. I guess I would be the true test of that. I have never been a runner, and it actually bores me. I suppose it is better then walking aimlessly on a treadmill in a noisy gym. Even if I walked a great deal it is better than sitting around doing nothing. We will see what the nice weather brings, if the nice weather ever shows its face again.

Ok who ordered all this snow?? I just finished shoveling 14" of snow and I live just off of Wells Ave. The good news is our reservoirs should be getting some much needed water. This has to be a record amount of snow for the year. I remember the year we got 2.5 feet in one storm, but if you add up all we have gotten this year it has to surpass that! It is still coming down.

What a cardio workout shoveling is lol. The snow itself wasn't horribly heavy, it was the inch of slush at the bottom that weighed a ton. I was out at 7:30 a.m. shoveling because my neighbor would have come shoveled my sidewalk for me if I hadn't started. While that isn't a bad thing the guy has to be in his 70's and I don't think he should be doing my shoveling. I did shovel part of his sidewalk though.

I just looked out my window to see all the snow from the trees come cascading down onto my already cleaned off car. UGH more work for me to do. My shoulders are killing me. Guess I should wash and dry the clothes I used so that when I have to go back out and shovel some more I will at least have a dry jacket to wear.

The weather at the end of the week was so gorgeous, and now this. Well welcome to Reno weather, I suppose after all these years I would be use to it by now.

Pet Peeves

After becoming a member of the Facebook crowd I was astonished at the number of people who use there, their and they're incorrectly. Now I do realize many of these posts are written in haste but being raised the way I was, I can't see any reason for not using them correctly.

There: refers to a place whether concrete or abstract. I am going to go there.
Their: indicates possession as in "It is their right to object to this post."
They're: a contraction for they are. They're going to try to remember.

Simple enough I would think. I am not sure it is even a lack of education that causes these errors, it could just be a lack of caring. I remember as a kid having this drilled into me. Along with not using like every few words or the correct usage for here and hear.

I am starting to sound like my mother. Not sure if that is a bad thing or not, she was a History/English major in college and edited all of the newsletters and books my dad wrote for the UNR History of Medicine department. I am really not that into either subject, I just have certain things that bug me I suppose

This blogging is interesting. Not sure I have much to say tonight but when I need 12 posts I guess I have to keep typing. The math test was pretty easy, I suppose the studying helped lol.

Thinking about how this weekend will pan out, I have lots planned but we shall see. The basement needs to be cleaned out and basically remodeled. My youngest son is moving home and I want him to be able to stay downstairs so he has his privacy. It is a ton of work, but decorating it will be fun. Cleaning isn't my favorite thing to do, but I have to get through all the dirt before I can begin to think about my next step. Perhaps I should go to the store and get one of those masks so I don't breath in a lot of dust, after all I just got over having bronchitis.

You know you hate cleaning when you would rather do schoolwork instead of doing it. Any port in a storm is a great saying for this type of instance lol.

Waiting for the Olympics to begin tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed last nights events. US rocked some metals.
