Okay, I’m going to do it. I decided on my New Year’s Resolution, and it only took me two months. Maybe I can declare March 1st as Dumpy New Year. The Chinese have their own Calendar, maybe I can have one too!

So I read an article on the web about how if you take 10,000 steps a day, you’ll be healthier and lose weight. As someone who just cannot join a gym and actually use it, this sounds like it’s right up my alley. When I used to belong to a gym I would set the treadmill for twenty minutes but then switch to the calories burned view. After twenty minutes I often stayed on trying to round up the calorie numbers. And then do the “well, I can do another 10 calories” or whatever. Time didn’t work for me – but mileage and calories burned did.

So I ordered a pedometer from Amazon – doing research into the ones recommended by other people, etc., and I decided on the Omron HJ112 Premium. I’ll let you know what I think.

Okay, 700 different weather sources tell me that Leominster is going to get 11-15 inches of snow in the next 24 hours. (See: Weather.com)

I went to Accuweather on my phone (to their wireless site, pda.accuweather.com) and punched in the Zip code for Leominster (01453).

Their report?
Today – Snow early, then more snow late in the day, accumulating a coating to an inch.
Tuesday – Snow with little or no accumulation in the morning.

So am I missing something? And which one do you trust?

As a wrap-up to the liveblogging I did last night, the new Daily Probe is dedicated to photos from last night’s festivities. At least one of them made me burst out laughing right here at work. Oopsie!

I have a perfectly lovely book to read, and I stayed up to watch the Oscars? Granted, I was doing that live blogging thing with the other TopFivers and Daily Probe contributors, but even that got old pretty quickly as the show was so blah that we all ran out of steam. I went to bed before it was over, leaving the funny up to the west coast writers.

I feel the need to at least tell everyone how I’m completely fed up with this winter. Another storm tonight. Yea. Depending on the weatherguy source, anywhere from 5 inches to 18 inches expected in our neighborhood. The full report I saw said 6-12, which is quite a range, actually. Could we please just have spring? Is that too much to ask? We survived January and February, can March just be completely pleasant?
