Eric and I are hitting up Puerto Vallarta in a month or so, and I want to travel light. I have been pondering getting an Aiptek Pencam lately, since it is technically a digital version of a Lomo. My lomo has seen better days and is retired for now to my shelf, but I miss snapping photos with it.

The good thing about PenCams is that there is also a herd of photo geeks out there that compare to the lomo geeks.

The downside is that they do not hold alot of photos on them. So when I am on vacation I am going to have to transfer photos onto my iPod via this handy gadget from Belkin.

For the past month or so, I have been trying, slowly, to improve somethings. Trying to rise earlier in the morning, trying to get motivated to exercise. I haven't been all that successful. The hard part for me is getting out of bed, getting on the running shoes, facing the cold. Not that I tried it it more than once, but still....

But this past saturday I was wide awake at 7 am, and at about 10 I went out with my mom to jog. This woman has been jogging since I was born, and goes out at least 3-4 times a week and runs for over an hour. For the most part I stayed next to her, but lagged back to walk a bit. Then I would catch up eventually. So I ran for most of the hour! And was I tired afterwards. But I felt really good about it all weekend. I was sore but felt alot stronger and better about my body. So I am going to try to keep going out a few times a week, and do some weights and sit ups as well. If anyone out there wants a running/walking partner email me.

I also want to exercise my brain! For fun I have been playing some online word games. They are addictive! Been looking at classes at Fleisher too...but I would have to buy all new paints and thats a pain.

Bought this print from Space1026...Apparantly, I got the last one. Phew!

Was feeling sexy one nite and took some self love photos...

What else..been dreaming about vacation. One of Eric's coworkers is kindly giving us her extra time share week with RCI. We can pick anywhere we want to go, and it's only 200 dollars for a week! So we are thinking Cozumel, Cancun, Cabo..all the C words.

So to wrap up, I am trying to be a toner, non-old, smarter, and tanned young woman.

Im honor of Groundhog Day, I am posting all about nerds today. Well, not that they have anything to do with one another. But Bill Murray, who was in the movie Groundhog Day, did play a nerd, Todd, on SNL. Six degrees of Punxatawny Phil right there..

World of Warcraft: I call Eric a nerd because he plays this game all the dang time. It's extremely popular! So, I guess there are alot of other girlfriends out there getting pissed at thier BF's for playing too much, and trying to distract them by flashing thier boobs at their men to get thier attention.

Widgets: Only nerds would make them, but they are cool and I will use them because I am a design geek. They are little applications that play on your desktop and do somewhat useless things like tell you the temperature or show you if you have a new email in your Gmail. But some are really handy depending on what you are into.

Speaking of which, test your knowledge of fonts here.
