The problems with my PC #1 are causing me to make some changes. I went to CompUSA today and purchased a new HP w1907 19″ Flat Screen Monitor for the PC #2. I love the bigger screen (easier for my eyes to see) and the space saved on the desk. I pulled out PC #1 and moved it downstairs.

CompUSA was having an inventory sale so I got 10 percent off. Cost about $209.00. Also picked up a new cheap keyboard just to give things kind of a “new” feel.

I spent about an hour just trying to untangle the rat’s nest of electrical cords under my desk. When you have 3 PC’s, 3 printers, a fax and 2 telephone lines all under one desk, things can get messy. All these cords are like varicose veins on my network.

I have PC #1 working and I can connect to the internet, however, I cannot get any browsers to work. I may just continue working with it and just using it for my Video work. I am thinking about an HP All In One as a possible replacement. I am having trouble wading into the world of Vista. I am fine with XP. There are places that still sell pc’s with XP. Maybe I should do that. Every time I read a review of one PC it leads me to looking at yet another PC. I am in no hurry, I will just wait until the right opportunity comes along.

No workout today, although I thought of going several times. The gym does not open until 1P on Saturday so many times I have already got messed into other things by the time afternoon comes along. The gym opens at 7 in the morning so I will go then. My Sunday workout is just for fun, trying new things.

Received my notice to renew my gym membership yesterday. It’s $691.00 for the year. That includes the large locker and towel service for the year. Already sent my money in. This will start my third year at the gym.

Several ladies are now talking about kettlebells in the Gut to Cut group. Thanks to littlesherree for getting the ball rolling. If I could just get some guys to get involved it would be great. Kettlebells have changed my life and I know it can work for other people as well. I think having a woman doing the kettlebells make them more acceptable for the other women. Maybe I am too intimidating and they think they need to be throwing around 50 and 60 pounds at a time. It’s not about the weight, it’s about the movement.

I am trying to figure out why people make comments about kettlebells such as “Just be careful”. They also say this about other forms of exercise but I am sensitive to kettlebell talk.
They say this to people that have survived all these years without any advice from them but suddenly need the advice to be careful. Are the people saying this really representing their own fears of something new and challenging? Or are they looking for the opportunity to say “I told you so”. Why can’t we just encourage people to try something new. We are not talking about taking drugs or jumping out of planes or diving down to the Titanic, we are talking about exercise.

It’s surprising how people, when they take the chance, will figure out on their own if something is for them or not.
