According to my email from Bootlegger. I don't know why find spam/advertising email subject lines amusing but I do. When you think about it, it is kind of weird to get emails from companies, especially ones that use your name as if you're old friends...but I didn't come here to talk about ads so enough about that.

Things have been good but busy. Work is still struggling with Alma and I've been mostly working on ordering and editing code for our work wiki. Nothing too exciting happened on the work front. John and I have been going to the gym almost every night this week and we've been trying out different equipment. It's been fun although I do find the weights section a little intimidating because it's always full of muscular people who look so intense and I'm here like "I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm going back to cardio". I haven't lost any weight but I've already noticed a slight change already. My belly's not poking out as much and I have more energy in the evenings now.

I also found out there's a bowling legaue at MUN which I signed up for. It's every week on Thursday and not too expensive, only 16 bucks a week for three games. I love bowling though and don't get enough opportunities to play so I'm excited. I just hope I don't feel too awkward in the crowd because I'm sure it will be a bunch of people from the campus that I've never met before. But hey, it's a bit more exercise.

The craft/flea market sale is tomorrow and I so do not have enough craft stuff to sell. I'm going to try and fix that this afternoon and tonight but at least I have a bunch of books to sell. Besides, who knows? Maybe the less I'll have to sell the more likely I'll sell what I have? I've never sold at a flea market before and I really just signed up to see if I could sell any second hand books there. I have a lot of books I need though not necessary want to get rid of and I figure if I can sell them that might motivate me to clear out my book collection a little. Second hand books I have no trouble giving away but I've a hard time just handing over books I bought new.

So that's been my week, I hope everyone else has been well.

Selling books is hard but last i sold at a flea market books are very popular. Unless its a jamie oliver cookbook. Ive never seen do many of his books for "Get these out of my store" pricing. Thats sad.

Weights can be addicting so be careful. I started bulking up to much i was having so much fun. Now i wont let myself get o past 2 pounds do i just stay awesome.

I figured it would be, especially since I only brought down the less interesting books of my collection. I sold two books and along with a few other sales at least managed to make back the cost of the table.

I will be but so fair I haven't found it very enticing. I've always preferred carido and swimming since I can let my mind wander more. Weights require more concentration and the machines are all set up next mirrors, unlike the cardio equipment which over looks the pool area. It's way more entertaining to watch the divers practice than myself in the mirror lol.

Ooh, I'm jealous of your bowling and weight lifting! Sounds like great fun.

Enjoy the flea market. I think I would like doing that. I have a lot of poetry books that I never go back to read that might be popular at something like that. I hate to just take them to Goodwill!

Fingers crossed, the bowling will be fun. I guess I'll find out on the 17th.

Thanks, I did enjoy it after although I think more because my friend

lady_green_bat was working the table with me. Otherwise it was pretty dead at the market and we were lucky to make back the cost of the table. I know, I have a ton of books in my collection I need to get rid of but hate the thought of giving them to goodwill. It's great when they can sell them but all the goodwill stores get so many books that they sometimes throw them out.

Bowling league sounds fun! :)

I'm really looking forward to it. I've never been part of a league before.

Going to the gym feels good. i really need to get back to something like that. It really improves your overall health!

How did the flea market?

Yes, I've been enjoying the endorphins lol.

The flea market went well enough. I didn't do as well as my friend did but I made back the cost of renting the table at least and got rid of a couple of things. Plus, I got an idea of what sort of things sell at the market. If I wanted to part with my old comics or video games I think I would do well.

Bowling! That sounds like so much fun. Bowling gets a bad rap, but it is so much fun!
I had the same issue with weights at the gym! I still don't use free weights, just the machines. It is slightly less intimidating. Good for you for going so often!

That's really interesting, do bowling get a bad rap where you are? They don't really have one here and considered more a kids or elderly activity which is why it can be hard to get adults in their 20-40s together to play it seems. For us it's the pool halls that have the bad rap since they tend to be the hangouts for rougher crowds. Thanks :D

No! They're just not common, you really only have elderly leagues/daytime leagues and that's not at all that convenient! I mean, I'd totally join a bowling league (I bowled in a league for YEARS as a kid), but there aren't any I could. Well, also the closest bowling lane is like over 1/2 hour away, too. There is that ;)

LOL okay, that makes sense. Here I was imaging all sorts of shifty characters hanging out at a bowling alley.....although now that sounds like it would make a good story. Like a bowling alley being the gathering hub for a bunch of elite criminals who go there to relax.

Bowling league sounds fun :) I love bowling, I'm just terrible at it LOL

I'm not very good at it either so luckily the league is just for fun lol. I usually do well my first game but I use up all my luck by the second round.
