Brrr! It’s Cold in Here!

…..there must be some Toros in the atmosphere!

My house is.so.cold.  I “cranked it up” to 71 (normally I  keep it at 68/69 – I have gas heat and my $300 January bill last year makes me nervous!) and my fingers are STILL ice.  I did ask for a Snuggie for Christmas.

Just for around the house.

And thanks to Emily’s suggestion, I copied her idea and got some cute booties! 

006 But my fingers are STILL like icicles.

Ahhhh, well…such is life.  :-)

Thanks for all of your comments/kind words about my news from the doctor.  So frustrating!  I need this guy:

Call me crazy, but I do find him sexy.

While I’d love to get a second opinion, I have to pay off the almost $1,000 of medical bills I owe right now. :-(   I’m going to give PT a shot – fingers crossed!

I think I might go with Michelle’s advice, actually, and look into swimming more.  I go once a week, but I hate it because I have to go at 9 p.m.!  So I think I’m going to try going in the morning next week a couple times, before work. 

Also, I’m going to challenge myself to find something I love in 2010 – to take the place of running.  I am going to see if pilates, yoga, zumba, or spinning will do the trick.  I have done all of those things, but have never really been consistent.  Any workout ideas out there?  What’s your workout of choice?  I do better if it’s a program or something I can do consistently.  We’ll see…I”m not giving up hope that something is out there for me.

Okay, I must stop procrastinating blogging and get back to studying.  :-)

Friday’s song of the day:

“Cathedrals” by Jump Little Children.  (Couldn’t find the album version – SO much better!)  Such a beautiful song – I listen to it whenever I’m a little sad or blue.  It’s a good “wallowing” song, ya know?!  ;-)

Happy Friday!
