Wordless Wednesday
Looks delicious to me, but there’s no way that little bit of lettuce and tomato can make up for all that bacon!

Back in September Chris and I went shopping for some exercise equipment. I had wanted to get in a little better shape before my trip to Las Vegas last November.
I actually bought a lot of stuff. A balance ball, a Pilates DVD, an elliptical machine and some stretchy band type exercise equipment. I honestly can’t remember the proper name for the last stuff. I guess it’s resistance training equipment?
Anyway. My Crohn’s was acting up very badly last fall and while I did get on the elliptical several times I can’t say that it did much good or that I was able to put all that much effort into it. My Crohn’s has actually been quite bad even through the winter so getting into a routine never happened.
Oh and we got a puppy at the end of November too. Heck, even my blogging slowed down because of her arrival!
Now that our puppy is almost 7 months old and is able to entertain herself a little bit I think I can try to get back to using the elliptical again. Of course, spring and nice weather will soon arrive too so I’ll be taking longer walks with our dog too. Getting back to exercising and taking longer walks should help me get back into shape. I hope!
Have you purchased exercise equipment and then for some reason or another ended up not using it as much as you thought you would? I know I’ve done that a few times in the past with health club memberships!

My electronics and gadget loving oldest brother hasn’t sent any mass emails to family and friends lately telling us about about the latest thing he’s purchased.
Usually these emails are accompanied by at least 20 pictures of the object taken at all angles. A little overkill since most of the photos look pretty much the same as the next. Thank God I’m not on dial up anymore. It was killer to get an email from him way back when!
It’s been so long since he sent a “purchase” email that I fully expect to get one any day now. I wonder what kind of new toy he’ll have bought himself? Maybe a portable GPS system or something like that?
Do you have any friends or family members that are like that? They just have to have the latest gadgets and they have to tell everyone they know about it. Repeatedly!
It’s kind of funny really.

Just four more days and Spring will be here! I think I’ve pretty much said that in all three of my GTS posts today. Can you tell I’m excited?
I’ll have to wait until sometime in May before my two small Northern Lights Azalea shrubs begin to bloom, but that too is well worth the wait. I only wish that they weren’t so stingy with their flowers.
Perhaps this year, thanks to an abundance of snow cover to protect the plants and hopefully give them a good dose of moisture when it begins to melt, my azalea’s will do better than ever. I sure hope so!
Do you grow Azaleas?
Remember it’s Easter this weekend. If you don’t grow your own flowers, why not buy someone for someone special?
Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information. GTS participants remember to check in at As the Garden Grows each week so that we’ll know you made a new post!

I’m trying to decide whether I’ll buy a new laptop, my husband could use one, or simple upgrade the one I have. I know it would probably be a heck of a lot cheaper to simply upgrade our current laptop with more laptop memory, but having a second laptop around is very appealing too.
I guess since we don’t have a lot of spare cash at the moment an upgrade is more likely … still it’s nice to dream of things we could use isn’t it?
