Pedometer Plan = Fail

Batteries are rusted and the fancy KP pedometer thusly won't work. Bummer.

Instead here are some pictures from yesterday's lost in the UCI wilderness hike.

A new day

Tomorrow, May 1st, I'm going to start a new project. I plan to use a pedometer and keep track of my daily walking and then average it out. I'm supposed to have at least 30 minutes if continuous walking but sometimes it is hard or too tiring to find the time.

So I want to number off the days and each blog entry where I'll be recording the daily numbers. Anyone have suggestions for what I should call the entries? Let's see, one I have is: Walk the Talk & Talk the Walk, Day 1. But that's kind of long. Post your ideas!

Many thanks to Ann and Arnoldo for contributing more furniture and things to my apartment (& then helping me get it all here)!

I shredded/grated zucchini and yellow squash with carrots. I sautéed onions and bell peppers and then added these to marinara sauce. Mixed ricotta cheese, milk, fancy grated cheeses and some nutmeg. Then it was layer time.

What is in Grammie's sleeve???

Something yummy!

Cuddled on my lap

Oliver and Dove. I hope they stay small sized.

Maggie, my new kitty friend???

She really knows how to make me feel special. I'll be cat-sitting her and her big sister, Sophie. Fun times ahead.

A lovely view

From my apartment complex pathway. I tried to send a video from my iPhone to post on the blog the other day but I guess it did not post. Boo.

I love movies!!!!

Why is that???

Netflix and all it's numerous streaming movies = very lazy Jeffra.

The Moon at 5:25pm or so

Using the fancy HDR feature of the iPhone, this is the best I could do.

A Tuckered Tucker

Bark in the Park was crazy busy this year, and seemed even more so because we volunteered in the Registration booth this time. I always wanted to volunteer in the registration but I gotta say it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. At least there is good friends and a yummy dinner after it all.

Why is it 'movie' and not 'movy' ???
Some people spell 'aunty' and others 'auntie' - why?

English is such a messy (or is it messie) language!

This is a photo from visiting cousins (Erik and Mikey), Uncle Brian, and Aunty Lora near Corpus Christi, Texas. I love them all dearly.

Batman Forever (or perhaps not?)

Moving down the line in soundtrack CDs, I come to Batman Forever. Now take a moment to remember what you thought the first time you saw this movie. Was it in the theaters? Or later, on VHS? Or perhaps only recently, on a NetFlix DVD? Very cartoony, in fact, not far away from the campy style of Batman from the 60s. Very much a contrast to Batman Begins.

Anyway, about the music. Not my favorite. I believe I received the CD with a VHS copy of the movie as part of the birthday gift. I'm going to try to do this review by what is memorable. Songs 1-7, I mostly like. After that, I tend to lose interest in listening. It begins with a U2 song that's fairly good. Next is "Where are you now?" by Brandy (do remember her? Whatever happened to her?). Of course, Seal croons the "A Kiss from a Rose," which was/is my favorite song on the album. Tracks 5-7 are sung by female artists and I can tell you that after listening to Track 5 "The Hunter Gets Captured By the Prey," I end up singing it for a bit. And that is all that I care for on this soundtrack CD. So while Amazon users gave it an average 4.5 stars, I can only give it 2 stars.
