Hmmm...hearing a massage theme here. Confession time. DH gave me a certificate for a massage a few years ago. I never redeemed it because I'm weirded out about a total stranger touching me. I know, I know...another fear to overcome and probably not as bad as hurling down some of those ski slopes, right?

OMG! I rate massages higher than even sex! I don't have to put an ounce of energy into anything (except getting to the appointment) and I feel oh so much better afterward. Yeah, baby - give me a full body, deep tissue massage anytime, along with a dump in hot tub and I'm nothin' but mush.

First of all - Mtnchk - I've never done the hot rocks massage. Sounds heavenly! I'll have to look around and see if someone does it around here. My body is begging for a decent massage.

Sort of a tempo run this morning for an hour. 5.26 miles in 1:00:00 = 10:42. Got a little pooped part way through, but feel pretty decent considering how crappy I felt over the last couple of days. Windy as he!!, though. Like, 650 mph winds. Seriously! Cross my heart, hope to d . . . seriously! And why is that no matter which direction you run, you're running into the wind? Even when you turn around - oh, the wind turns around, too!

I like the wind when I don't have to be out in it. However, our mail slot here at work - the little flapper goes crazy in the wind. Drives me nuts. I've tried taping it down before, but it just ripped the tape up, along with hunks of paint. Woops.

Hub is leaving again this weekend. Going to a Raider's game. Told him he couldn't go unless he got the lawn mowed, and dang if he wasn't mowin' when I got home last night! My hero! I plan to immerse myself in chick flicks all weekend.

Have a great one!

Forgot - I listen to a podcast from This American Life (through iTunes or www/thisamericanlife.org). The podcast today was How to Talk to Kids. What a hoot! You will especially enjoy it if you are a parent. You don't have to listen to it through an iPOD. You can go their website and listen. They have weekly shows. Great program.

www.photobucket.com[/URL" target="_blank"> works great. It has 3 (4?) options for posting pics, and one is the . You just click on that option and it automatically "copies," then you go to your post here and click "paste." However, I've always resized my pics to message board size so that they're not HUGE. You go to "Edit", click "resize" and choose a size.

Brian told me about this. It's really easy. If I can figure it out, anyone can.

(Am I suppose to be working? Yes. Am I playing around on the computer instead? Yes.)

Stupidly inexpensive deal through www.go-today.com.[/URL" target="_blank"> I know, I know - it's the middle of winter then, but so what? Won't have to deal with the tourist **** and it'll be gorgeous with all the snow. I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it. Holy ****! I'm going to Eastern Europe!!
