Update on Spaz

So I think I've successfully managed to save my rabbit from fly strike which usually kills a rabbit within 24 hours. I caught it quick enough, treated it, and have been treating her wounds for 4-5 days now, and she's back her her normal spaz self! Woo hoo....I knew I shoulda been a vet. ;)

So my friend wants me to train for a 5K...

Ok is this what I need to push me over the edge?? I finally bought a wii fit the other day, and yesterday I "exercised" (aka had fun unlocking new activities) for 2 hours! Had a great time, muscles are sore this morning. It has a jogging thing on there where you put the wii-mote in your pocket and jog in place in your living room (or jog in short circles, figure 8s, whatever, just jogging). The "short" is 3 minutes....I thought I was going to DIE!!! The "long distance" is 5 minutes which I still managed to do.... once. I have a fear of running. I hate running. To me running is extremely borrrring. Which is why I opted to play softball when I was growing up and not basketball or soccer, or cross country....I was in track, but I was smart, I was a thrower, not a runner. Softball, max is 240 ft around the bases if you hit a homerun, that's it! I don't own a Zune or iPod....I DO have a Walkman that I can play cassette tapes on....oh, those were the days. LOL

But I look at the Cool Runnings page (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml)
and I'm like "Wow, 9 weeks? That's it? 9 Weeks and I could lose a LOT of weight doing this, and be in shape and healthier by the time I'm done!" But omg, I was sweating and panting just reading it!

Ok so here's where I stand. Can I really go from my fat, couch potatoed, always hated running self to running a 5K by November? Sure I COULD if I WANTED to......but do I want to? It seriously scares me. But like I said, it might just be what I need to push me over the edge and get me commmitted to a good workout/weight loss program. I think I need psychotherapy. Where's the chocolate?! :)

Spaz the rabbit

I'm feeling like such a bad rabbit owner. :( I went to check on my rabbits this morning and Spaz has fly strike (ie, open wound near her tail with flies, etc). I went ahead and took her out of her cage, bathed her with baby shampoo and cleaned her up as good as I could, treated her with antibiotic ointment, scrubbed her cage down, then sprayed her with insect repellant before putting her back in. From what I've read it's not a good situation. I'm just feeling sick to my stomach....

Addicted to YouTube...and Webkinz...fun combo

Hi, I'm addicted to YouTube....and Webkinz. And what do you get when you mix the two? Well, a bunch of fun Webkinz videos! I've posted a few "movies" of screen shots from my Webkinz addiction and have been loving the comments and the friend requests and the subscribers and the......the list goes on. I never knew YouTube could be so affirming. What do these people expect from me now? A video a week? Tempting....very, very tempting
