Chota mota

Hey, I'm getting better at this not posting stuff -- last time I didn't post for two weeks, now I've managed three weeks!  If I practice, maybe I can manage to not post for a whole month...

/tongue in cheek

All is well, in spite of that.  I'm not sure where the time goes, nor am I quite sure why I can come here daily and read everyone's posts and reply to some of them and not actually get around to updating my own journal.  *oops*

Here is some chota mota from the life of Lin:

• A week ago, we had the best weather ever here in Chitown -- 65 degrees and sunny, it might as well have been spring, it was that nice.  Now, of course, we're back to the colder weather again, yet it doesn't really seem as cold as it did before.  Anyway, I'm sure we'll see more snow before long, which will be nice, too -- but I have to admit, I really enjoyed walking outside without my coat on for a day!
• I've discovered I really like riding the bus and the subway/elevated train to get places.  It's such a novel thing for me, being from a smallish town where the only buses were school buses (and I never got to ride on one of those because I was a townie) and the only train was my dad's model railroad stuff in the basement.
• I really like living in the "Little India" section of Chicago, but it hasn't been good for my weight -- I've gained 10 lbs. since moving here!  The food is just way too tasty here...
• We actually got our digital tuner coupons not long ago and were able to buy the digital contraption needed to make our rabbit ears work.  Of course, now they've postponed the date, but we are still (mostly) benefiting.  We get more channels now than we did before!  So many DH doesn't know what to watch and so surfs even more than he used to!  I can't even imagine what it would be like to have cable -- or worse, digital cable.  Too many choices is not always a good thing.  ;-)
• I am horrified to realize that in the last year, I have only updated my Boromir serial tale with one chapter.  Lots of things happened in this past year to derail me, of course, so it's not like I don't have some good excuses to fall back on, but really... One chapter in a year?  What must Boromir think of me?  =:-o  Needless to say, I'm shuffling notes like crazy here and trying to get back into the Boromir groove.

Guess that's all for chota mota from me.  If you can find any real news in here, I'll give you a cookie!
