1. My penguin is about to become famous.  ;D I have a little plastic penguin (Ken) that I take on adventures and photograph. Hubby wanted to submit a question to C.J. (from The Wildhearts) as part of the 10 questions he'd answer from fans who videotaped themselves asking him questions. Hubby took several pics of Ken in various poses and a friend edited 'South Park' type mouths onto his beak to ask the question and made it look as though he was wiggling a bit as he asked. Out of the however many hundreds of videos he got, Ken was chosen as #8 of 10. They are going to be featured on the new dvd Ginger (the Wildhearts) is putting together.  [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

2. Sunshine! The morning started out with a blowing drizzle but it looks rather springlike and wonderful at the moment. I've given up on snow and am now looking forward to spring.

1. We went on a friend's birthday pub crawl and had a grand time. Most of them are still going strong and will for hours.

2. Sunshine and a breeze meant we could put the bedding on the clothesline, even though it was cool out.

1. I've got the day off to spend all by myself at home. Total bliss.

2. I got to take my little monkeys to nursery today (it's usually Jon's job) and I love to watch them play, they love it there.

1. Finally getting back on track with diet and exercise today. It feels good.

2. I've come to the decision (today) that I am buying a new bathing suit this year. The one I have seems to be indestructible. It is about 13 years old and still showing no signs of fading or wear, but I am sick of the sight of it.  ::)

Good Luck TamaMoo with the diet & exercise routine. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] [smiley=clover2.gif]

TamaMoo what kind of swimsuit are you looking for a regular one piece or a tankini? I got a new tankini last summer My MIL bought for it me when we were out having lunch & doing some shopping at a outlet mall.

Thanks! I'm not really sure what to get just yet. I like both options and intend to try on some of each when I'm looking. A tankini seems like it would be easier to put on and take off so I will probably go with that option.
