Chilly Weather & Pics from the Oregon Coast

I know it has been a bit since my last post.  Been feeling blah and so really had nothing popping into my head to write about.

My legs are hurting from today’s workout.  My trainer really pushed me today.  I finally made some progress over the weekend weight wise, not much but something.  Which is a good thing, because I was getting really pissed.  It was like damn it, I’m watching my diet and working my ass off….gggrrr  This is the part that sucks on getting old, harder for your body to bounce back…annoying as hell.

I was trying to find an article that was posted yesterday on a local news site but I can’t find it.  =(  It was about the funky weather we have been having and that most folks are calling june-ary.  It has been about 10degrees below normal.  It is suppose to be in the 70s with some dry weather but it hasn’t been happening….hell, Government Camp and Timberline got snow yesterday and none of the snow from this winter has melted.  Usually there is grass showing, but it hasn’t been happening up there.  It has been crazy.
Told Harold that everytime we move funky weather hits.  All the hurricanes that hit a month after we moved to Florida, the extra rain, floods and mudslids that hit the West and North of Portland last fall.  I actually think it is Harold’s fault….when he lived in Washington years ago, they had snow and winters they almost never see……lol

I’m so looking forward to the next few days, it is suppose to be dry, sunny and in 70s.  =) I don’t want a repeat of the major heat we had a few weeks ago, just want to be comfortable with the windows opened…..that isn’t too much to ask for, is it?

Sexism Sells — But We’re Not Buying It

My friend had posted this a few weeks on her blog, watching it really pissed me off…especially Chris Matthews. But it really illustrates how far us women still have to go in this country when it comes to the media. It also helps show the sexism that Clinton was facing, because many people couldn’t and didn’t want to see it . But I will say, we were extremely amazed that Clinton won Indiana. When Bill was in office, she was the most hated thing….so for that state, racism won out.

I’ve been told that you have to look at where is it coming from, but you can’t just dismiss it based on that because where is coming from, because it is coming from people who have audiences and air time.

Sexism Sells — But We’re Not Buying It

Ho-Hum

Today was kind of hoo-hum, in that I really didn’t even try to do anything productive work wise, even if in the end I did do some.  During the week we may do errands and stuff, but I actually try to focus on work.  Today was like, what ever……lol

Went tanning for the 1st time in 2 weeks, so my face is slightly red but not too bad.  Did a little house work when I got home.  And then we practiced getting our tent up in living room while waiting for the Belmont.  We figured it out, but they really need to give better directions…at least for the 1st few times and for packing away the frame.  You can never repack it as tight as you got it.  =(  We are going to do a few more times and then time ourselves.  =)  Got the sleeping bags out to see how to zip them up together….didn’t happen….one is a left zipper and the other is a right zipper…you are suppose to be able to put them together, at least that is what we were told.    But it was interesting practice…lol

During this we stopped to watch the last leg of the Triple Crown.  Big Brown didn’t win.  =(   We won’t be surprised if it was the heat that got to him.

The weather let up enough to go walking this afternoon.  Took the camera, but not many pictures.  I just feel that I’ve seen it all and nothing is popping.  Which is disappointing…I love getting nature pictures.  So I spent most of my time walking talking to my folks and making sure that they didn’t get flooded out in Indiana.

We just got done watching the Goonies That was fun to see again, without all the commercials that TV put into it.  And I got some work done while watching.  Debating on setting myself downstairs tomorrow…..just so we can watch some of the movies we have DVR.
