Is a civil engineer considered a "developer". Hmmm?

Nice work Mom!

My boss's boss just came in and asked if I knew any developers looking for work.

And if they can start Monday.

He says we're looking for like 12 spots now, and we're hiring in several major cities. Or not hiring as the case may be.

you can also get too winded to have a conversation if someone shoots a puck into your hip.

No conversations over shoveling this morning.

It's only 2 miles to work and 2 miles back. It doesn't go anywhere else, really...not around here.

What do you think Frankie is going to drive?

Depends on who you're watching do the shoveling.

General rule of thumb for telling the difference between light, moderate, and vigorous intensity:

* Light Intensity: You can sing loudly while performing the activity.
* Moderate Intensity: You can carry on a conversation while performing the activity.
* Vigorous Intensity: You are too winded to carry on a conversation while performing the activity.

our 2005 prius is only 10,000 behind that geo. seriously.

Marinated roaster red pepper sandwhich with goatcheese and basil on ciabatta bread. I love homemade sandwhiches.

Well I am going to stop comparing to you because I am at 145k. Did you just not drive it for a couple of years? I am thinking we can get to 200k, but we will see what the winter brings.

How many MET for deep snow shoveling?

118,000 Veronica! But we couldn't drive it today because the snow is piled as high as the car.

Snow picture looks real pretty, glad I'm not in it.

time for you westerners to catch up:
9.0|Skiing: cross-country, vigorous, 5.0 - 7.9 mph

That's such a crappy camera phone.

Side roads weren't plowed. Thankfully the neighbor to the right drove out with his four-wheel drive so I could follow his deep tracks out. And the plows weren't wasting time clearing intersections, just building walls right down the middle.

Pretty sure I would've been dead stuck in my drive with the old tires. Not to say I wasn't sliding a bit still. Only saw one car stuck on the way in, though they were stuck in their lane, not on the side.

OH, hey there was constant Christmas music on the radio last weekend.
I'm finally back at the office. Thomas practically bounded out of bed in order to get to school today. All his friends were happy to see him.

Oh Christmas lights have been up here in Pulaski for at least a week. I saw some up in Bloomington on our walk and in Lincoln on my drive home last night too.

As I was driving through the neighborhood behind ours on Tuesday night I noticed that someone has theirs up already. November 10. Nice work.

Congratulatins to Tracy. So, does this news mean you could possibly now look into trading in the GEO? I am just saying I find it odd to think about getting a new car when you are still driving the one you got 6 years before I bought mine. Can I get a milage check?

New light looks great. Got the Christmas lights down just in time to put this year's up.

Yes, it appears to have begun... 6 inches of new snow, forecast for snow throughout the day, high of 32F. I was going to go in early, but nothing is plowed yet.

Had to defrost my car windows before I drove home tonight. So it begins....

I have finally finished paying for my education! Time to work on Frankie's.

Great dinner at AO's tonight and a good walk to uptown Normal.

Winter Storm Advisory from 5pm tonight to 5pm tomorrow.

2-6 inches of snow expected tonight in the valley.

Yes, congratulations.

congrats!!

We need more of those in this family.

acf: Congrats! A good year for girls.

is going to have a little..... GIRL :O)

here in the midwest we abbreviate it as e-web

innerweb ao, innerweb.

Speaking of Christmas, will people please put up some more gift ideas. I'm a horrible shopper and like to order stuff off the innernot

Well after much support and encouragement to continue the challenge, I decided to make a second go of it.

I am sorry for the public temper tantrum. I am recommitted to the challenge and will do my best to be healthy and encourage others to be healthy too.

As for whomever is creating the 5K route please post when you have it so I can start memorizing Mt Pulaski streets. I'm in!
