I got nothing...

"I got nothing" -- that's what my sister always says when she calls. Nothing. No news. Nothing exciting.

That's me too. I got nothing. I've been hermiting (new word) since going back to work. Jes & JB gave me the Wii and WiiFit for Christmas. It's so wonderful! I have done at least 30 minutes a day EVERY day since I hooked it up Christmas. It takes my mind off the fact that I'm "exercising" - I'm playing. I love the Island Cycling - If the parks & rec department would put up neato "GOALS" to go through on the bike trail, I would SO be there. It's the sense of accomplishment - the effort to top my last personal best. The sweatpants in my house where nobody can make comments about the fat lady huffing and puffing. I love it. It's the first thing I do when I get home in the afternoon after work, and it's the first thing I do on weekend mornings.

I haven't been reading, because the book I'm currently trudging through is a somewhat interesting non-fiction about the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold - which supposedly belonged to Thomas Jefferson - or may have been a fake - or not. It's not compelling at all - lots of wine history - lots of Jefferson history - lots of auction house history.... and it's heading to no conclusion at all. Why am I still reading it? To get to the end. It's probably time to skim.

I have been crocheting. And loving it. I've started the "Jewel" sweater. The pattern works downward from the shoulders, and I'm as far as joining under the armhole openings. It takes quite a bit of concentration, so I don't pull it out unless I have at least an hour to work on. I've also started a "Stone Path Hat" - which is undoubtedly the most difficult pattern I've ever crocheted. I had to write down the row-by-row instructions so I could visually see how the pattern got to Row 12 from Row 1. And it's with really thin yarn and a tiny hook. It's a good lunch-time project for work. And there's always a washcloth to work on while I watch TV or movies.

Watched "Big Fan" with Patton Oswalt last night. Loved it. Thought provoking regular guy story. It's marketed as a comedy - but it's not. More like "drama-lite."

And my home computer has an "anti-virus" virus where it won't let me do anything for constant "You've got a virus - buy our software (or else)" popups. I hate to even think about trying to fix it.

Like I said. I got nothing.
