trying to think of something to say

I like to read blogs, even ones that don't have "deep" or "exciting" entries. So why am I having trouble writing blog entries these days?

I'm trying something new with my laundry. I don't think I told you. But if I did ... um ... I'm sorry for the redundancy.

I'm trying to fold each load the same day. Okay, that's not all that novel. But I'm trying to fold it on our bed. Also not so exciting. But wait! I'm trying to listen to upbeat music and *walk* and *dance* in place while I fold, and add little steps - be inefficient - while I fold. So, for example, instead of making a little stack of socks to put in The Grand Lunar's sock drawer, I'll put them away as I fold them, so I have to take a few extra steps to the dresser and back.

The bummer part is if I really DO do it every day, it takes me 10-15 minutes per load (maybe more if there's a lot of socks to match ... maybe not) which makes me wonder why I save it all up until I have 8 loads to fold.

My old method was to save it up and then sit on the floor folding and sorting while watching videos. Which was good for getting videos watched. But not so good on the activity.

I'm trying to add little steps to my day - not necessarily long aerobic lengths, although it's always nice to find that I walked/danced long enough to trigger the aerobic minutes on my pedometer.

Today I was (again) way behind on the baskets to fold, so I stood and danced/walked to some aerobic-tempo playlists and got an extra bonus 45 minutes in, on top of my "real" walking this morning! Now my legs are tired. It's not as intense a workout as "real" walking with Leslie, but every not-sitting-around minute counts, right?

Oh, and Daisy - my pedometer claims all my walking adds up to 553 calories burned! Woot!
