Dear So and So

[Eden]

I never buy expensive umbrellas as I usually lose them.... If you are like me, two umbrellas (or 5 or 6...) aren't really a bad thing...

[Owlie]

I've got two umbrellas, both were free, and most of the time I have no idea where they are. I like my yellow rain coat.

Yeah, I'm returning one, but which I don't know. I much prefer the color of one, but the other is rather more practical. (Off-white versus blue.)

Dear Body,

What is wrong with you? I can't even eat a normal healthy diet anymore, without gaining weight? No whole wheat bread? No bread, ever? And I can't even look at any type of Asian food apparently. Sure, I am not riding 100-150 miles a week now, but I am doing winter training, running, hiking, yoga... more than 98% of the country does.
Well, at least there's snow, so maybe the x country skiing and snow shoeing will help. Frustrated.

x-country skiing and snowshoeing are HUGE calorie burners, as you probably already know.
(me, i spent a lot of time snow shoveling today- with our approx. 22" we got last night) My car is still buried...you can only do so much in one day. So I've been hiking into town this morning and tomorrow morning to work at the food pantry.
All I can say is thank goodness for wool.

We only got around a foot, although some towns close to here got 18 inches. I did an interval snow shoe today. Two climbs up the 20% grade hill in our neighborhood conservation land. That, plus a little snow shoveling, to get the stuff that the snow blower can't get. Tomorrow I am going x country skiing.
