Ladies, hope you are well.

I've decided to start going to the gym before work. I'll report back and let you know if it was a bad idea. :-X
I used to go before work and preferred it. Unfortunately now that I'm on days I'd have to get up at 2am to do it and that just ain't happening.

My husband does that. It's nice cuz I get the bed to myself.

But he doesn't go to the gym. He plays games on his computer.

I bought the clear liquid capsules. I have an antibiotic too. One of them is upsetting my stomach. :(

It was the opposite with my wife and I. I've worked nights most of my life so we'd go to bed on her schedule when we'd visit, she'd sleep I'd nap for a bit, wake up and go play Diablo

I frequently go to bed with my husband (who the heck goes to bed at 9:30 by choice?) and get up to go study or surf the internet. I used to play Diablo too, but it lost it's appeal some time ago. Plus studying comes first! ;)

I like the game, just hit a dead wall in my ability to advance. I followed the advice to supposedly improve my character enough to continue on, but after a month, I had 0 progress and was done with it. Most people I know hate the new game because of the story... good thing I don't care about the story. I like to smash things xD

I play a male Barbarian. Named Kitten. 8)

I loved the first 2 games but really didn't like what I heard about the 3rd one and then the fact you had to be online to play it was a dealbreaker. I lose my internet several times per winter, that's when I really want to play to make up for not being able to surf :D

Yes, I didn't really like the online part. They also have removed all ability to make your own network and host your own games (without hacking). We used to do that back on the first StarCraft. (Well, my brothers and their friends did. I suck like a p0rn star at StarCraft.)

My husband really wanted to play D3, so I bought the game. It wasn't bad for what it was worth, but I don't see it being the next big thing. Chinese gold farmers had it ruined in days. :/

OMG ladies!

Michaels has knitting classes!

In Calgary they're $25 plus supplies.

Once I have some money, I shall go do this. For in the boringness of waiting for immigration, I can knit myself some socks.

Cool! There are a few Michaels in Toronto (I think), but I could have sworn they were all getting closed down nationally. I'm glad they aren't. I love Michaels!

Haha I told tony whenever I find out I'm pregnant, I will be starting to knit a blanket and he's like "... Half my pay is gonna go towards yarn for 9 months isn't it..." me: :D

I love that he totally understands me bahahaha

Yeah I find knitting classes horribly expensive! A friend of mine taught me how to knit, then I got a book called Stitch N' B**ch haha. It taught me more but I still haven't finished it of course

I hear ads for them on Canadian radio stations a lot, certainly doesn't seem like they're closing.
