So what's new??

Not a whole lot really. Weather is still doing it's thing - cold one day, mild the next. Had another storm pass right by us over the weekend and while other areas of the Maritimes got slammed with snow, we had heavy heavy rain. Not complaining. No shoveling that shit lol :)

In other news - back in December our new recreation/ice rink opened - Queen's Place Emera Centre  - it really is an amazing place - most people walk in, take a look around and promptly exclaim "it's like we're not even in Liverpool anymore!"  It's true really.  The new ice surface is NHL regulation. You can sit and watch a hockey game and NOT freeze your butt off because the place is heated :D  Great new fitness center. And a walking track.  Now.  When I first heard there was going to be an inside walking track I laughed..."why would anyone want to PAY to walk inside". 

Yea, not saying that anymore LOL A little over a week ago my friend Susan dragged me over to walk with her one day.  And I've been hooked ever since :)  Instead of paying $2 per walk, I paid the $20 for the month. I go twice a day, morning and evening.  I do usually 22-24 laps each walk which takes me approx 35-40 mins.  22 laps equals about 5 kms.  So I'm getting darn close to 10 kms in a day. Go me!!  I usually take Megs with me in the evening. We each pop in our Ipods, crank our tunes, zone out and boogey. It's awesome.  I'm hoping by the end of summer to be able to pay for a full years gym membership.  Please don't ask me what got into me. lol  No, actually it was more of a bit of a scare with my diabetes and blood sugar numbers, and finally deciding to do something about my health.  I've pretty much given up my Tim Horton's coffee addiction. (used to get 4-5 larges a day! - now I might get ONE every 2-3 days!) Still smoking, but not as much. One addiction at a time please :)  So far I think I'm doing pretty darn good if I do say so myself :)

So that's things in a nut shell. :)
