Museum, Mindy, and Sore Muscles

[abka]

Sunday Denis and I drove down to Hartford to visit the Wadsworth Atheneum. I'm working on it for my museum's paper, plus they have a great Marsden Hartley show that I wanted to see. Denis was very patient and we got to spend 3 hours there (and then go out for lunch/dinner/a meal at 3:30pm). The museum has a lot of wonderful things, but is a little wierd, they just kept adding on buildings, so it's easy to get disoriented and hard to figure out exactly how to get from one place to another. They're planning a massive reconstruction project, the plans look a little odd.

Mindy called last night! Yay! It was so good to talk to her and hear about her post-grad. plans and how the house is doing. It's been a long time since I've talked to anyone on the phone who hasn't been a parent or a telemarketer.

I also decided to start exercising again this weekend. I'm trying to follow one of my magazine programs which is 3 30 min. cardio sessions and two 20 min. strength sessions (plus streching) a week. It seems reasonable. So far I've done 2 cardio sessions (both exercise tapes) and one strength. I hurt all over, especially abs, hips, and butt. I'm hoping to make it through the sore period this week without quitting.

My parents are coming to stay the night tonight on their way from Ohio back to Maine. I think they're bringing us a bedframe, moving it into the house should be interesting. It started snowing again, so the ground that was so recently browish green is again white. Blech, I thought winter was over, what happened to "out like a lamb"? Have to be off, Denis forgot his lunch so I have to bring it to him, good little wife that I am.

Yeah, I feel your pain. =) The day that we did the walkthrough for our new apartment, we brought a telephone because we had called the phone company already and wanted to make sure the telephone lines were working.

We plugged the phone in and checked that the line was working. It was. And then literally not even 1 minute later the phone rang, and it was our first telemarketing call. During our walkthrough! Argh!

Telemarketing bastards.

I agree, we feel your pain. I should also add another category of calls-we-get-that-we-don't-like, though, and that is wrong numbers. In particular, there's a woman who previously had our phone number who we receive a ridiculous number of calls for. The amazing part is that despite the fact that we've had this phone number for nearly seven months, we still get calls for her. It's like she's still out there giving out the wrong number or something. In fact, this very morning I fielded 2 calls to her over the course of maybe 20 minutes while I was getting ready to go to work. And they're almost all from different people, so it's difficult to chastise any one person except the elusive original owner of our phone number, and since I obviously don't know her current phone number, it's hard for me to harass her about it. ;-)
