baby it's cold outside

holy fudge, i almost froze trying to scrape my windshield when i left work. i love pittsburgh. really, i do. but could we maybe just shift the entire state of pennsylvania south about 30 degrees latitude? i don't know who's in charge of those decisions, but i'd really appreciate it.

i came home to the fantastic scent of pork and sauerkraut, ready-to-eat. slow cookers are the greatest. mine's a tiny one - i think it's supposed to be used for making fondue or something, but i use it as a crock pot. i'm half tempted to go buy a normal-sized one, but really, i have better things to spend my money on (maybe one of these?).

i'm supposed to go to a friend's for NYE to play his wii and hang out, but i'm just not sure right now. it's so stinkin cold! and i feel that if i go out tonight, i won't be up early enough to accomplish anything tomorrow. true, i have the day off since it's new year's day, but still, i was planning on going to the gym and getting some party supplies for saturday. i know that if i go to someone else's house tonight, i definitely won't be back home until at least 1.30 am, if i come back home at all (south hills is a mighty trek from my house in the snow with the cold and icy roads and drunken idiots). bleh. i need someone to tell me what to do. i need an adult.

exercise-wise, i tried doing a comcast on-demand yoga class and managed to get through 20 minutes of it before i felt dizzy. :) it didn't even seem that difficult, but i hadn't eaten in 6 hours before trying it... maybe next time i'll try having a snack beforehand. some day i'd like to try one of the yoga to the people podcasts that jenna talks about (eat, live, run). however, at the moment i am very much a novice and i don't think i'd be able to handle it. it's a worthy goal, though!

resolutions to come in a future post! my toes are going to freeze off so keeping them attached and warm is priority numero uno right now. :)

i'm takin what i'm given cause i'm bloggin for a livin

Woo-hoo, I figured out how to blog from my crackberry! Now I can blog at work without getting the "non-business and frivolous use of computer resources" slap on the hand. How terribly exciting. Takes quite a bit longer to post on the crackberry than on a computer, though. I'll have to work on my finger agility in the upcoming weeks. :)
