This & That

I have been walking everyday and posting my minutes on Twitter.  Thing is Twitter isn't posting a daily post to LJ like the application I signed up for promised.  (edit: duh, I just looked and it posted yesterdays)

This morning I walked the Big Hook (1 hour and 17minutes). 

I let Sierra slide on her walk since she is painting her room today (Dog help us all - especially the carpet).  She is painting one wall electric green.  I could not talk her out of it. 

Today at some point I am hoping to make a road trip to town and make some doc appts (dermatologist and mamogram people).  I'd planned to sit with my banker about a personal loan for Sierra's car, but I am not ready to deal with that. 

I bought a $767.00 bed the other day.  A purchase like that is huge for me, but I wanted a good quality bed - I'd never really had one before.  This one is just a Serta Double - but it's good quality not the cheapo one's against the wall.  I got a 12 month no interest financing for it.  Thing is the bed isn't for me to sleep on - it's for Sierra; however, when and if she ever moves out - it will then be my bed :-)

And finally............  Today is my official Two Year Anniversary of quitting smoking
At Quitnet I was given the Golden Boot Award.  I never go to Quitnet anymore - I just pop in to print out my certificate every 6 months. :-)

Painting non-traditional colors is fun! Every room in our house is painted a different color.

Congratulations on your 2 year quitting anniversary! That's awesome! :)

2 years!!!

Wow, I envy you the bed. I still sleep on my mom's bed, and she's been gone since '78. Yeah, it is OLD! The springs sort of dig into me, and I wake up with sore hips, but I can't see spending so much money when I don't have it. One day, though, one day.

Your Sierra is so lucky to have you.

Congrats on the quitting smoking anniversary! I am so glad you quit!

Electric green? How are you going to walk past that??? Heh, the things we will do for our kids :)

Congratulations on your two year anniversary of quitting! You have some willpower!

Wow, that's a lot of money for a bed. Does that mean the car has to wait a year? *just kidding*

No, I'd just see it when I went inside (thank goodness).

Yep, shouldn't have bought the bed considering everything else on my plate - but I'll work it out somehow :-)
