In the past 7 days I lost a pound and a half, and that’s after only three days of actually paying attention to calories and spacing out meals by 3-4 hours. Woo! I did an hour of cardio today for the first time in a long time and my legs really felt it by the end. It’s a really good way to catch up on all my New Yorker magazines, too.

Weekend plans: play with the new digital camera a LOT. I did a little last night, mainly experimenting with the manual settings. It’s an Olympus C7000, by the way. It’s hot. Thank you families! It was a xmas gift from both of our parents. Also I need to make plans to sell my 2.0 MP digital elph. It’s totally cute and works perfectly, but the technology is four years old 🙁

Other weekend plans: the usual taking long walk with Brian, lifting weights, cooking, watching DVDs, cleaning the house. Last Saturday I had to go to work, so this will be a real weekend. And it looks like it might be a cloudy one.

Oh and we are going to paint our living room, which is exciting to me because it’s so WHITE and drab. It’s going to be a dark ochre/gold to match the dark red/brown in the dining room (well, crafts room). And I also want to paint the kitchen, which is also completely white. The kitchen floor is this hideous brown speckled linoleum. I think blue would work in there. How can people live in these insitutional all-white apartments? Color does wonders, I tell ya. And if landlords were smart, they would realize that color is a selling point to a property, not a liability. My last apartment came with a beautiful green living room wall and ceiling, and that was one of the things that I loved about it.
