Assorted Anecdotes

I'm not really sure if you'd call these anecdotes, but I was going for alliteration in the title and I couldn't think of a better word. (If you think of one, by all means share.)

1. John and I went to New York City this past weekend. Wheee!!! It was a great little getaway. We need to go there more often. I will definitely devote a blog post specifically to the trip and share. I'm so thankful that it was in the 40's for most of the weekend (it's all relative I guess...) and it was really pleasant to be able to walk around and not have to be bundled up.

2. We bought a zoo. OK, we didn't buy a zoo, but that movie title sounds a lot catchier than "we bought a treadmill." We bought a treadmill! (Yeah, just doesn't have the same ring to it.) I've only used it once, but watched a TV show on my iPhone while walking/jogging and it made the time go by really fast. I need to make a schedule of what nights I plan to use it and then stick to it.

3. My name is KT and I'm a Downton-a-holic. Yes, I've joined the masses and started watching. If you're not familiar with Downton Abbey, you can read about this PBS series here. I usually avoid TV shows and books that are all the rage, but decided to give this a whirl. I watched Season 1 in one week and Season 2 in less time than that. I've watched the episodes of Season 3 that have aired and I am now officially caught up. Now I'm spending my time trying to figure out which Crawley sister I'm most like (l to r: Edith, Sybil, Mary):

4. This coming weekend won't be quite as exciting as last, but I am getting my hair cut on Saturday and then taking my calligraphy class on Sunday! The latter has been a long time coming, so I'm looking forward to getting back into it (I took a class years and years ago.)

5. I bought a cake at the grocery store tonight. As I type this, I'm eating a rather large slice. So, if you were going to ask how the whole Weight Watchers thing is going, there's your answer.

6. The Superbowl is on my birthday. I hate football. Thankfully, the home team (Patriots) are not in it and I won't have to arrange my birthday activity around a place with a TV.

7. Speaking of sports, HOCKEY IS BACK! I still think they're all greedy, but I can't not watch the Bruins. I missed it.
