Don't skip your exercise

The story below suggests keyboards, laptops and 9-5 jobs will be a thing of the past by 2012! I have at least one friend whose iphone seems to have taken over his life. He can do everything on it, Facebook, email, he has even set it up to display your picture when you phone him.

Well, I've been thinking how to make it to the gym for some exercise over the holidays in all hustle and bustle. Maybe the odd walk might be possible if the sidewalks aren't too icy. It seems there's a pending snowstorm or two over the next couple of days...joy. I made L an appointment for a manicure and eyebrow threading which she wanted to do before the holidays. I'm going for a haircut today.

K and his friend's hydraulic mango picker design was apparently a big hit yesterday, the teacher was pleased, especially as it actually worked.

I still can't get over the hydraulic mango picker. And now I am doubly impressed that it works! For some reason I had pictured a design or perhaps a mock up. WOW!

Hey Christine

Oh my gosh we are living each other's lives vy osmosis, it has been a few days since I have been to the gym, I got my hair cut today and I loved the article about WWJB
Spooky! LoL

Christine said...

Barbara, you're welcome! It's great when things finally work, isn't it?

Japra, I think I have a pic of the mango picker somewhere that I can post for you.

Mom, did you also make a 'classic fast lasagna' today? (-:

TBM said...

I would love to see it... is it patented? ;-)

Lilly said...

Actually Christine I have thought that you and Mom are similar in ways as well.....by the way is eyebrow threading just a way to trim your eyebrows...I know I did read about this but it doesnt seem to be done here that often.

Lilly, L says that with threading they take 2 strings and wrap them around 3 or 4 hairs at a time, twist, yank...painful but effective. It seems to last longer than waxing! Nothing I'll try anytime soon! Sounds like an art, that procedure.
