Last night my sister berated me for not posting in a while. “I’ve even been checking!” she informed me. So, knowing that I’m disappointing my fan, I decided it was time to come check in. I actually did start a post last week about my trip to Cupertino, but decided that sleep was more important. (I’ll finish that post later!) I was a little shocked to see how long it has been since my last post, but what can I say? Life gets in the way sometimes. 
I just read an amusing article on CNN.com and I must agree with its author. You know a news story has reached a pinacle when Bill Gates uses it as fodder for his speech-opening jokes. I’m going to be a good cyber citizen and link you to the article instead of quoting it. And while you’re there, try not to be frightened of the photo. I swear, is there a picture of Cheney where he’s NOT scowling? I can’t imagine how it would not be scary to be around him. He always looks like he’s snarling.
I just joined a 12-week walking program at work. The idea is that you wear a pedometer daily and record your steps. Over the 12 weeks, you increase your daily count to 10,000. I start next week, so wish me luck! I’m happy to say that I am 4 pounds lighter than I was when I wrote about my 2006 Resolutions! I’ve reached a full 7 minutes of workout on my new elliptical trainer. It’s completely depressing how out of shape I am (I mean, 7 minutes sounds totally pathetic), but I’m slightly consoled by the fact that I’m doing something about it and slowly improving.
Have you noticed that I say “I mean” a lot? I gotta work on that. I mean, I am supposed to be a professional writer, after all.
Hehehehe.
We took a friend to the County Line for dinner on Monday. I nearly ate myself sick, but oh my gosh, that’s some seriously good BBQ! We wanted to take him out for BBQ, since that’s a cuisine that Texas does particularly well. I forgot to point out to him, though, that he can get County Line in Albuquerque, too. As a matter of fact, our two favorite BBQ joints (Rudy’s and County Line) also have locations in Albuquerque. 
Mmmmmmm… now I’m craving Rudy’s cream corn…
Baseball season is only about 6 weeks away! Yeehah!! Only 13 days till Spring Training games start. We bought our mini-season tickets–we’ll be doing the Sunday games again this year. And, this year, I get to go to baseball games without feeling guilty about not doing homework! Double yeehah!! 
I watched Mr. Smith Goes to Washington for the first time last night. Unfortunately, TiVo cut off the last 5 minutes (I’m guessing the guide data was wrong), so I have to wait until it records tomorrow’s showing to actually see the end. This one will definitely be added to my list of favorite movies. It’s amazing how a movie from 65 years ago can still resonate so truly today.
Okay, so I’ve subjected you to my random musings for long enough. You’ve now spent 5 minutes of your life that you’d probably like back.
