Just Hanging Out


OK, so here I am blogging again. Just an update on what's been happening the last few days.

Of course I've been working and dealing those cards. I actually watched the movie "21" last night and was trying like hell to figure out how to do this and I'm suppose to be a hot shot dealer???? It would take me months and months to even get close to counting! So much for my get rich quick scheme.
I watched another film called "Vitus" and was totally taken by it. Of course the piano bit really blew me away. What wonderful young actors!!! If you are into movies this is a must. A foreign film with lots of awards.

I finally dug out my CASIO keyboard book to learn how to use many more of the buttons and to learn how to mix my sounds. Now all I have to do is buy a memory chip and load it with my background music and I will be able to sound like a complete band! Sort of.

I would love to get outside and walk! It's just too damned hot out here now, temps running from 110 to 122 degrees is just not very inviting. However, I do walk in the longgggggg basement of the Colorado Belle on my breaks. It helps but not enough even though we do get about 7 breaks per 8 hours of work. Stand for an hour break for 15 minutes. Of course I have to squeeze in a drink and snack as well so not much time for walking. Most of my co-workers think I've lost my mind but still there are a few that say to me 'what a good idea Sandra' and then want to join me, but NEVER do when invited. Hmmmm. I'll keep pestering :-)

Alrighty, I'm hungry now and craving something like strawberries so off to fix me a nice salad and then maybe strawberries over ice cream. Maybe a small glass of wine. Until next time .......

You have to badger them to join you and they will eventually take you up on it. I don't think anyone is working out at my work anymore since I left!

Sandra said...

yes, I keep asking a few that would like to. I'll keep it going maybe we can get half a crew doing the walk!

Oh Granny!!! Look at you go! We got up to 128 degrees yesterday. It's funny though, I'm used to this heat and it doesn't really bother me. I stay hydrated enough so that helps. I have just recently started working out again. For the past four days straight I have gone to the gym right after work and jogged a mile and then rod for 5 or 6 miles on a bike in 15 minutes. I come out sweating but hopefully I'll be able to up the ante soon. Eh, eh? Get it? Up the ante?! I crack myself up! Miss you and love you!

So glad you came into my blog. i don't get too many comments but i'm so glad you came into my blog and left me a message. Take care of yourself and get with it on your blog .. or maybe I have the wrong addy. It says you haven't posted in 8 months. Hmmmm, I'll try ieatdirt_yummy and see what happens.

There's WAY too much exercising going on here ... anyone for Ben and Gerry's?!!! :-)

Norma said...

I can't even get my hubby to walk with me... but those 3 dogs of ours will literally break the door down if I don't take them with me.

And Val, it's Ben and Jerry's. Yes, unfortunately I know that tidbit. And big sisters get to correct their siblings, RIGHT?! :)

Sandra said...
