Working It, First Trip to the Gym
Tonight was my first time going to the gym and working out with a trainer. I set a time of 7:30 to go, guaranteeing work could not throw it off, or any other unforeseen events. I met with my trainer, we went over why I want to lose weight, what are my goals, how seriously…
Morning Person
I’ve been half-heartedly trying to be a morning person for a while. Craig wakes up with no issues at 5am. I on the other hand would rather sleep to 10am. I do best when a beam of sunlight is coming in a window on to my face and voila, I’m awake and feel great. Our…
Only Half the Truth
This does not surprise me. The White House censored it’s own Centers for Disease Control and Prevention head person. What she presented to Congress was the findings of the effects of global warming on diseases and extinction. The White House struck 6 pages of her 12 page report that didn’t “align” with what a report…
Joining a Gym
Tonight I am going to the local gym to look into membership. I’ve never really thought of myself as a gym person. My body frustrates me and gets in my way these days. Reasons for joining a gym: –My work hours can be irregular – Daylight is disappearing – Can’t make the excuse of the…
Apple iPhone Dual Dock Problems
Craig invested in the Apple Bluetooth Headsets for our iPhones which came with the Apple Dual Dock. This dock has a USB cable coming directly from it to your computer and charges both your headset and your iPhone. Great, right? All seemed to be well in our dual dock land, until about a week after…
Fall Foliage Tour 2007
Fall Foliage Tour 2007, originally uploaded by criana. I hosted the 6th annual Fall Foliage Tour 2007 for the HondaSUV.com this past weekend. We took a covered bridge tour of south eastern Vermont and finished off the day in Keene, NH for the Keene Pumpkin Festival.
Lineups for Literacy
I came across this post via Unstoppable Robot Ninja’s website the other day. It’s with regards to the 12 Items or less isles in the grocery store. When I first read it, I thought amen! Tonight I’m in the grocery store, I’ve got my 9 items in my hand basket, I go to the 12…
Revisting Cobble
Sunday we revisited Cobble Mountain in Kent. Craig and hiked back here in April on Earth Day. Over the summer Craig made it part of his weekly trip over to that area and had gotten a fairly good time at going up and down. This time we had Kelly and Scout along. Currently, and probably…
Inspiring Views
A dream I’ve always had is sitting a desk, looking out a window in front or to the side of me and seeing trees and a field or forest. To me there’s something inspiring about looking out over nature in it’s solitude. I can see it perfectly in my head, and some day it will…
iPhone Updates
As a new owner of an iPhone, and a previous Treo owner, I decided to use AppInstaller. I’m really enjoying the different 3rd party apps. These are the apps I have loaded: FiveDice Colloquy MobileChat SummerBoard Blackjack iLigh iSplit Lights Off My eBay Pirate Pushr (removing this) Soduko Tetris VNotes The first time I added…
Rudeness
I don’t get people, why are they self-centered and always on the defense. It seems like people are getting more and more snappy, impatient and rude. Today Craig and I were at the natural food store, let me preface the parking lot is a little tight. So Craig backs up, and we start towards the…
Visitors come in pairs
These two visited my inlaws a few weeks ago with Mom and much smaller. Mom seems to be gone now, not sure if she moved on or something else happened. They’re very curious, which is probably not good. I hope no one does anything to them, i.e. shoot or hurt them. They stick together and…
Reflections
I’m not sure if it’s because I grew up in New England or my internal clock is off, but Autumn is the time of year I recount the year prior, reflect on what I’ve done, could have been done better, the times I take great joy in. It’s the beginning. For most it’s New Years…
Weekend Update
Although not as funny as the one on SNL. We had a pretty busy weekend, what else is new. We helped out at Friends Meeting with supplies for the Underground Railroad Walking Tour on Saturday morning. Came back to meet up with our friend Ron at Sherwood Island State Park, but he ended up with…
Toe-Up Socks at Panera
Kelly and I got together to knit at Panera. I had tried toe-up socks once before and I did not get how to do short-rowing. We decided to take the challenge together. We’re using Wendy Johnson’s toe-up sock instructions from Knitty. We both got soups and broke out the yarn. Had some hot drinks later…
Greetings and Welcome
I’m doing a little transition. I started up http://www.dianaleroi.com in 2003. I blogged pretty regularly using pMachine Free first, then iBlog and then WordPress. I always had trouble trying to pick a “theme” for my writing, and sometimes I felt after the fact on a few posts, that I wrote too much. Craig and I…
WiFi
Wifi has got to be one of the best inventions of the 20th century or was it 21st century. I don’t know, but it’s great. I’m sitting at a Starbucks right now, reading the news, sipping my tall cafe mocha, and chatting with friends online. All wirelessly, granted Starbucks has picked my pocket to have…
Fall — My Favorite Season
I absolutely love the fall. I love the colors, I love that I get to wear sweaters again. I love going out to cooler weather and eating apples, and having cider. It’s perfect. Of course it’s all a precursor to Christmas and snow, which I love!! I was able to get some pics lately of…
Fall Foliage Tour 2004
The Fall Foliage Tour 2004 for the NEMC went off without a hitch, and we had the most number of cars yet!! 14. This may sound insignificant, but our typical numbers are 6-7 cars, and managing 14 cars was a work out. We truly lucked out with the weather, it was perfect. We met up…
Apple back in the PDA market?
The rumors are flying. There is talk of Apple re-entering the PDA market, but just how is a mystery. Some say it will be through this new color iPod in the rumor mill, others say it will be a new device of it’s own. Will Apple revamp the iApps to be more powerful. Who knows,…
House Warming
A few weekends ago we journeyed up to Baldwinville, MA to join Kerry & Dave in their house warming party. And those lucky home owners also got to be the cooks. Well Dave manned the b-b-q and the Mom’s covered the other goodies. It was really nice to see the Testa’s again. It was fun…
Life and Death
I was trying to figure out which category to put this under. It’s my thoughts on my health. It’s a long complicated story. So my health, specifically my weight and my bp. I was a healthy kid until I hit puberty, than that crap screwed with my body and I got chubby. Then over the…
Night Riding
I stopped at my local bike shop (Class Cycles) on Thursday after work, and picked up some goodies. I got a floor pump, 2 spare tubes, patch kit, tire popping thingies, and a camelback siren pack. But I also got a headlight and a tailight. On Sunday we went riding at the Larkin Bridle Trail.…
