It sucks having a weather defective limb at 30.My knees were more like the knees of a 70 year old because I spent the previous 25 years being over-weight / obese.After I had my right knee done it took awhile to heal, and now it is in fantastic shape! But my left leg is still "crunchy" and holding

One More To Go

I walked again last night while watching "Platoon." I had never seen it before and it was cool to see so many actors I recognized. They all looked so young!I walked for 1 hour for 4.45 miles, 4542 strides, and 456.7 calories.If I walk again to night, I reach my goal! Yea! :-D

Rest Day!

I walked last night just like I planned!I just need to walk 2 more times by Tuesday and I will get my reward!!!(I am buying myself some items from my amazon.com wishlist!!!)My soon-to-be-operated-on knee was not in a happy mood today, so I am taking a rest day. :)I think I might even go to bed early and try to get some really nice sleep!Cheers,Jessica

New Apartment!

Aaron and I have been apartment hunting the last few weeks.We looked at many places.I really wanted to find a place with a nice large open kitchen, that’s close to my work and with reasonable rent.Our current apartment has a tiny dark galley kitchen with no counter-space and no dishwasher.
