susandennisI polished off two projects this morning!
My brother sent me a memory book to fill out. He sent it a while ago and I'd pick it up and write some answers and then put it down again. This morning I picked it up and finished it off. It was a fun exercise. I am really disappointed in my handwriting. My handwriting used to be passable and now it just sucks. It is better with a fountain pen so I used one of those but still - but still it sucks. Except for this book, i don't really care so it's not a big deal, just kind of a surprise in a disappointing way.
Then I finished going through the 1,500+ photos I have stored on my pre-Flickr web place. There is no way to bulk download the pictures. They are from 2003-2005 and mostly from my first Treos. Uploaded directly to the website, bypassing my own computer. Half of them were decent pix and about a third of those were worth saving. The other half were the first generation Trio and wow, did that camera suck. Here's one of the first ones... a self portrait. It was either before or just after I quit smoking so I was not quite as rotund as what you get today.
I also found a nice picture of my Mom and some good shots of the place where she lived. There was a shot of the Seattle street car and of the triangle building across the street from here before they built the giant office building on the end of it.
Fun trip down memory lane.
I have trolled around the internets looking for tips and tricks and info on aqua jogging and water exercise but for some reason I finally remembered to look in the library! There are lots of books and one DVD! So I slapped a hold on them all. Then I went to Amazon and even found some Kindle books on the topic and sent the samples to my Kindle. Now I've got some reading to do! Mainly I want to get ideas for variety and make sure I'm doing it right.
My plan today is to be at the pool ready when it opens at 11. Sheri the designer will be here to talk about my desk corner at 1.
I have no clue what work will be like today. Our updates go live Sunday at midnight so Monday morning we check it all and send in a report on each - I've done that and now wait for this week's assignments.
And that's the report du jour so far.
