Life is such a sweet insanity.

You ever feel like you need to weed through your life? That's how I'm feeling today. I woke up this morning, weighed myself, sneered at the scale and drank a SlimFast shake. ("How yummy is that", he says dryly.)

Figuring that I'm a little heavier than I was at the beginning of the week because of excess "junk", I've decided to clean out the wreck room. If you go to ebay, take a peek at the crap I'm selling. It's sort of comical. All the things I meant to accomplish but never did. Wonderful things like "Learn French While Driving Your Car". That lasted a day. Then France got pricky about the Iraqi war and all of a sudden it seemed rather un-American to be speaking the language.

One thing that I couldn't bring myself to sell is my training kit for Microsoft certification. I am determined to get that certification. I dusted it off and put it in a prominent place on my dsk to remind me that I need to be studying up again.

I exercised yesterday and today for about 20 minutes each time. The weather is still not very cooperative, lots and lots of rain. At least there's peeks of sun this afternoon. Maybe I'll have time to go for a bike ride before the end of the night. Unfortunately, bike riding doesn't seem to do much for my abs. I guess I'll stick to the ab crunches.

For those with a sense of "peek a boo", I've started up the webcams again. We're running DirecPC again here at the house (broadband for rural folks via satellite), so it's o.k. to have the webcam on again. Nothing kinky or anything like, you just get to see me working at my desk here at home, and after I set it up tomorrow, at work as well.

Earl and I took a ride through the Adirondacks yesterday that was quite enjoyable. We took more county-line pictures, and enjoyed a great on the street supper in Lake Placid. I think we are going to go to Lake Placid for my birthday weekend - it's a fun little tourist spot. We'll have to see .
