The Big DumpTruck

When I got home last night, Junior had a new boo-boo to show me. Now I wouldn’t have thought this possible, but then again, maybe I don’t like potato chips as much as he does. The boy…bit his own finger while eating chips, enough to make it bleed and maybe remove a little piece of skin. I cannot fathom doing this, but he did. So then we have to make sure it’s VERY clean and has some good ointment on it because I’m guessing a human bite is just asking for trouble.

I think they put the chips away after that.

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!
