There's a chill in the air...

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.

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.
