Your name, defined
Category: funny
Haha, I occasionally entertain myself with these quizes, but not post them. This one I thought was funny, as it is "How will your name be defined in the dictionary". I first plugged in my name, Carey then TheeCarey. Uncanny that in my last post, I mentioned "taking off on my bike like a banshee".. and I never use that term, which I thought it odd that I even wrote that. Anyhow, the point of this post:

Amuse yourself like I did:

CAREY:-- pretensiously academian


THEE CAREY Banshee-like

It changes every time, but I am delerious and easily amused..and don't care. Go there.. you know you want to :)



ok, now I am really off to bed.

It seemed like a great idea
Category: nature
Yesterday was gorgeous. Sunny, mild.. I am sure you noticed?

It was a perfect day to go for a bike ride.

Too bad I did it the day before, when it was feeling sub zero and windy.

Yesterday I biked inside (among other stuff) as I was crunched for time.

I go hiking, jogging, walking any time of year and in any weather. It can be cold, it can even be freezing.. that doesn't stop me (although warm and snuggly is nicer). So to hit up a super cold and windy day is not unusual. However, I never tried bike riding in the super cold for the fun of it. Let me tell you that this was painful! Damn, the effects of cold and wind is exacerbated when you hop on a bike and take off like a banshee. Can't I just take spinning classes like everyone else? haha. It was biting at my face!


I was well layered-- three shirts, two thick sweaters, gloves, scarf, hat, hood-- but the air still hit my face. Ow!

I amused myself by riding around the village, then made my way into the Fort.. the lake always draws me in. This little jaunt towards the lake heightened the cold windy feel. When I arrived at the hill that goes down to the beach, I ditched the bike. I continued on by foot.

There is a lot of ice and snow on the beach and in the water. I took some pictures.. (*looking for camera*)

Then I walked up and down the hill about ten times. Maybe it was ten. Whatever, I was looking for the steepest part and going as fast as I could. Good stuff- It built up some much needed heat.

Yesterday I wake up with a tiny cold sore. I am not particularly stressed over anything and I haven't been making out with anyone (have I? hmm, nope, not lately) Soo, I blame this little unwelcome guest on severe cold, wind and sun beating the hell out of my face. Its tiny. I'll sport it. I should be in a commercial.


Ahh, found my camera.. I left it in my car..seems another mild day out there.


What to do, what to do? I think I will go outside and play.. I'll dig out my basketball. Perfect.

Chilly pics.. enjoy :)

My camera froze, otherwise I know there would be more, including ones of me in my aweful assortment of layers to stay warm. Yeh, I was smokin' ..

Take care,
Carey

I am entertaining the idea of wearing a ski mask while riding my bike through Y-Town. hahahaha.. that would really stir things up around here...
mrdt - 02/24/06 01:51
damn it women, I told you about wind chill when we were at opm. When I go skiing and its really cold I wear a polypropelene face mask and goggles.
sbrugger - 02/23/06 12:33
This is why I can't run in the winter....lol.

omg, I barely made a dent. I can be a real trooper when it comes to polishing off some food.. but I couldn't come close with this! And an omelete isn't all that heavy. Some people ordered a single pancake. Seemed harmless enough.. but it dwarfed my order! (now I understand the $7 pancake price..)
jessika - 02/20/06 10:15
oh my god. mushroom omelete - so good. but i can not move for a day after. you are a brave woman to take on a road trip after that.

just be yourself
Category: potpourri
I turn on the tv and jump in bed w/ my computer. The station is playing, "Friends". Never seen it..and I don't think I missed anything in all these years that it was "popular". Within two minutes, the show thoroughly annoyed me. All I hear are laugh tracks. Why??
Is it so bad that you have to remind me to laugh??? These were loud and frequent laugh tracks.
Maybe networks would do well to apply them to a show that really needs them, like Fox News?
  • insert laughter here*

Ok so my plan for Tuesday:

(now,this is all contingent upon my getting to sleep well before 5am)


  • Read four, no ,five chapters in my text book. If I am truly inspired, six chapters. Although it took me roughly two hours to get through one chapter, but I was beat. I have a giant project to work on as well. Reading first, though. Earlier, (e:ladycroft) and I met up to tackle some of our school work. Even with two sources of caffeine at my side, my face could have dropped into the book in my lap. Passing out would not have been delightful..I have a lovely vision of stabbing myself with the pen that I jot notes with in the book.

Staying up till 6-7 am these past few days is not conducive to successful use of mental energy. Friday was chill.,talked w/ pals.. dodged an Ex/stalker a few times. Not sure what that is about. But it has to stop.*shiver* . Saturday was another story. Ran all day, stayed up all night. Invited to do many things.. pulled in many different directions. Screwed up some plans by not paying attention to time, sorry (e:pyrcedgrrl), I will make it up to you! Good times though.. had a little gathering at my place with (e:pyrcedgrrl), (e:kangarooboi) and (e:ladycroft). Beers, Tequila Rose (evil stuff) and munchies.. and a large pile of Play Girl. haha.

Later still, waited for music files to transfer. Great stuff! Thank you thank you :)

Sunday..more running around, dinner w/ mom, step dad, niece in Wilson then I ended the night with an excursion to OPM lounge. Met up with (e:mrdt). Again, nice to have met you. BTW (e:Paul), I will show up at your door one night when we head out there.. you must go with us sometime! (e:ladycroft) and I had fun.. as always.

So yeh, I get home and it takes me a couple of hours to go to sleep.

  • Hiking. Three or four times a week I go to Fort Niagara or the gorge .. but after looking at the pictures in (e:ajay) post [inlink]ajay,438[/inlink], I am inclined to find somewhere else. A new view.. Suggestions???? Please !!

  • Laundry. I have a ton to wash and put away. Timika saw the giant mound of clean clothes. She also tried to steal my coin collection that is in the washer. HAHA. You know I am kidding! That was the strangest/confusing conversation.. I know I didn't know what I was talking about. I kept screwing up everything I was trying to say. I told (e:kangarooboi) to make himself at home, help himself to whatever, that I am not a great hostess and that "your house is my house"

  • Research/write on a topic that I have been thinking about.. but which one. Hmm..

  • pilates. Denise Austin is a bitch. She is kicking my ass. I have moved on to "pilates for dummies". seriously. Then in a few weeks.. I can kick hers :)

  • And then a bunch of other random stuff is on my list. I always find something amusing to do. .and sometimes amusing things keep me from getting things done.

On that note..

I really need to go to bed, so I can get up relatively early. The (e:chat) was a bit risque earlier. Myself, (e:paul), (e:ladycroft), (e:codypomeray), (e:mrdt), (e:jenks), (e:imk2), (e:Salvatore) and (e:decoyisryan).. jeez, did I forget anyone? Anyway, the chat got busy as it often does.. then we delved into the fun stuff. It certainly did not help in my pursuit to become sleepy.

I am going to watch sci fi channel till I fall asleep. Ooh, the X-Files are on, yay.

Sweet dreams, friends..

Carey

(e:pyrcedgrrl).. I borrowed one of Ashleys videos. I seriously moved on to "pilates for dummies". I will be fine with it shortly..for me, it is just getting to know what I have to do. I am not apt at looking at a screen and following it.

(e:mike).. I can't imagine trying it for the first time in public, omg..
mike - 02/21/06 23:16
OMG PILATES IS SO TOUGH! I took my first class of it at the BAC and am about to die...plus made a fool of myself numerous times
pyrcedgrrl - 02/21/06 23:00
It's cool, man. Can't go this week, though. I put security down on a house and will be a bit strapped for a while..unless my tax return comes in!!! >:D

Did you get that Denise Austin vid @ Sam's? I ran in for cat litter (sad that Tidy Cat is almost the same price as the generic one now!!) and I saw the vids @ the door. I was going to grab one to try out on my afternoons/midnights alone @ work, but I was in a rush and there were SOOO many to choose from!!
theecarey - 02/21/06 11:39
haha, I forgot about that! That is while we were still in the restaurant. I sooo did not tell him that he can kill himself.. but that was hilarious. That was "some fine feta". hehe.
ladycroft - 02/21/06 01:58
actually...you told kangarooboi he could go in your house and kill himself!!! that was a funny flub. i'm still not sure how we spent 5 minutes confusing ourselves about change in the washing machine. well...ok i DO know how it happened, but....
