Golden Girl?

Posted by Amanda:I finally caved. I've been travelling (admitedly sporatically) from the new apartment to 24 hour fitness for over a month now. It really hasn't been too bad. I even started going in the mornings (complete with showering and getting ready for work at the gym). However, the time had finally come to bid the 20 minute (40 round trip) drive to 24 hour fitness goodbye.I printed my 1-day trial pass to Gold's Gym and took the 4 block walk...

3 down...

Posted by Amanda: Well, three doctors later and I'm not feeling any better. In fact, Geoff was kind enough to share his most recent cold with me - so, if anything, I'm feeling worse. At least this time my illness has a name. I guess shingles had a name, too. Anyway, the dizziness (vertigo), nausea, blurred vision, and trouble speaking (at times - still rare) are all still present and accounted for in my life. My lastest doc has me on another 2-week...

iPhone - technology's gift to man

Posted by Geoff: I have been experimenting with some new software as of late and have been really enjoying this simple yet complex piece of work. Blogging from the iPhone may not be the quickest means of getting ideas accross but it is certainly the most mobile. I am trying to figure out what goes in my blog and what goes in twitter, it's a tough cookie, becuase everything feels long when you are typing it on a phone yet I am certain I have surpassed...

Long Weekend

Posted by Amanda: Oh, how I love a long weekend. Geoff and I had a fun one. Friday night Geoff's usual softball game was canceled because of the holiday, so he went to see Star Trek on the IMAX with his dad and brother. While they went to the movie, I decided I wanted to try my hand at cake decorating. I've been interested in it for quite awhile now, but had always wondered what the heck I'd do with the cakes. I decided that I didn't care what happened...

Family Photo

Posted by Geoff: Apparently I have some good ideas in my head. I have been asked by a few anonymous sources to blog about my ideals and interests. While I do have some interesting ideas floating up and around there, I often feel a bit confined about expressing them. My writing is fairly mediocre and my spelling is boardering upon ignorance (-ance, -ence, who knows... probably someone out there) but the masses may have what the masses want... I am...

Fashion or Function?

Well, I think I've finally discovered the real reason behind all the dizzyness, blurred vision, and headaches I've been having for the last month - my eyes! I've been wearing my glasses (a very old pair) for the last couple days, and the dizzyness has nearly stopped. Granted the prescription is old and therefore not going to fix everything 100%, but I'll be thrilled to find out it's something that simple.HOWEVER, glasses bring on a whole new set...

Thanks a lot, Al.

I helped Geoff with an essay last semester about whether or not technology would takeover the world. One futurist suggested that one day humans will become so relient and combined with technology that neither would really exist independently. I had an experience today that made me realize I'm almost there!Stephanie (an awesome co-worker of mine) was telling me a story. It was at this point that I glanced next to me and realized I had an open yogurt...

Ahoy, Matey.

Well, after a stress-filled day on the phone making and breaking doctor's appointments, I finally ended up at the doc's office yesterday to discuss my recent bout of symptoms - primarily the painful and ichy rash on the left side of my chest. The doc confirmed that it was, indeed shingles. Even better, he informed me that there is pretty much nothing they can do at this point. I just have to wait it out (a 6 week to 3 month waiting period). Fantastic....

Mother's Day Weekend

Well, I had a nice weekend. Friday night Geoff and I finally purchased a kitchen table. We've been living without one since we moved. We were having his parents over for dinner on Saturday night - so it was crunch time. We ended up buying a counter-height square table that opens up into a circle. It's beautiful and we got a killer deal on it. We then rushed over to Ikea and bought 4 stools which we put together and painted black before we head off...

Footloose and Hair Free

Well, color me surprised. When I came out of work yesterday, my phone informed me that I had a plethora of missed calls. Most were from the hub and my mom, but one number I didn't recognize. I listened to the voicemail and it said, "Hi Amanda, this is AJ from 97.1 ZHT. I need you to call me back as soon as possible on this direct line: xxx-xxx-xxxx." I remembered that I had entered a contest a few weeks ago, but had assumed the winner had already...

Bloggin', Snoggin', Joggin' and Belongin'

Bloggin': Well, I'm convinced that I must have the world's most boring blog. And, thus, the most boring life. Ha. But, at the same time, I'd rather be boring then having to deal with some crisis or another (i.e. dogs going blind). Nonetheless, I really enjoy the good ol' blog, so I'll continue to post. Hopefully at least and handful of readers find a little amusement from it. I think I'm funny. Snoggin': Last Wednesday was the two-year anniversary...
