Four four four for my headaches

I've been meaning to do that for a while (it's kinda cute), but lorilie reminded me to finally post it this morning.

First, congratulations to radcliffe and motherteresatoo for both getting some fantastic news yesterday. Wooo and whew! to both of yous.

Second, 0verdrive has a 30-day subscription to CarFax. If you want to check the records of a car according to the VIN number, please respond to his post about this.

Third, Deke Dickerson at the Grand Emporium tomorrow. Sellout at the Jazzhaus Friday. So I'll get my dancing in for sure this week.

Fourth, for any of you playing along with the Lydia Freaks Out About Her Weight Game at home: The old scale died what I thought was a sudden tragic death, but it turns out it was just a slow, undetectable descent. I do not weigh 158 or even 160. No, my dears, the doctor's scale was more accurate than I dared fear and I'm at 172 now. So I've only lost about 8 or 10 pounds since September. Rats. It's time to get the hurt on, though, since we're looking at taking a cruise in September and I'd like to be in better shape for that. Especially since Dean would like to do some of the extra stuff like some hiking, scuba diving, and kayaking. Just thinking about that stuff gives me a hernia, so I think it's time to really get serious.

This morning: 20 minutes on rowing machine (I love those things, don't know why), 20 minutes on the treadmill (3.5mph on a 4% grade), and 10 minutes on the stationary bike (I was running a little late this morning). I want to stay at an hour of cardio five days a week. I need to add in two days of weights a week, but haven't found a good schedule yet. Sunday/Wednesday maybe? We'll see. I'd like to do the weights on days when I'm not doing my full cardio since I just don't have that kind of time in the morning.
