I have a calendar on my wall, and I put a big X on every day that I exercise.  Either cardio or strength training, and then I write down what I did.  Some days it will says “60 tread”  or “45 elipt.”  The number is the time I spent.  I didn’t do cardio today, because after I got home from babysitting, I was so sleepy I took a nap on the couch. I did do 30 minutes of a pilates video, so for today, it will say “Pilates, 30, abs, arms.”  There are 4 different workouts, abs, arms, thighs, hips.  I do two a day, then switch.

But anyway, the reason I wanted to write today, is that I bought my new 2009 calendar!  I needed one, and although my dad offered me his from Bryan’s Auto Repair, I wanted my own super cool calendar that I’d enjoy looking at.  Twilight calendars are sold out, and going for $60 on eBay, so that was out of the question.  I stopped at Barnes and Noble on my way home from sitting on the baby, and decided that because I had a gift card, I would buy one there no matter what (because I’m trying not to spend money this month, and gift cards don’t count).  I’d settle for Ansel Adams, or even one about cats (2008 was Kittens Every Day that Steve got me.  It had a little kitten on each day of the calendar.  Every month we picked our favorite kitten.  Awww.)

At Barnes and Noble, I was searching the calendars, and saw a Lord of The Rings.  Not a huge fan, but it’s ok.  I knew I was close.  Right next to it, I saw a single Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 2009 calendar.  Last one!  I grabbed it.  $6.60.  Sweeeeeet.  Let 2009 and my obsessively keeping track of exercising BEGIN!

(Speaking of being obsessive, I have gone back and changed 2008 a Review about 12 times now.  You may want to check it out again… I added pictures of England, Niles, and other such things that I thought of later).  And another thing, it’s not really a review… it’s a synopsis.  Stupid Robin.  Here comes edit 13!
