Despite how much I curse Chicago winter but it’s time I do something
about the 25 lbs I need to lose. I actually started my walks yesterday
but forgot to take a picture to show you the Chicago scenery that I
get to enjoy when I go for a walk.

The first 10 or so minutes is a killer when you step outside of the
warm building, a blast of icey wind blowing on your face brrrrrrr. I
must have said every curse word I know and asked why I live in
Chicago. Toughing it out and I walked for 45 minutes today.

It’s not so bad after you warmed up, along the way I find really
interesting people/buildings/animals. I will try to take a picture
everyday and post it here on my blog.

Today I bring you a picture of pigeons warming up by the fire pit at
the Daley Center, filthy little things hehee.

After drooling and wanting an iPhone for what seems like years, I finally gave up on my beloved Treo phones that I’ve been using.

I  love all the different applications I can download, most of them are free and others are reasonably priced.

Here are the applications I have on it so far:

• Pdanet
• GrandDialer
• Dots
• beamME
• eReader
• Lose it

On my built-in ipod:

• My music library: 192 songs
• Audio book - Dean Koontz: Black River
• 12 full length books:
  • Jack London: The Call of the Wild
  • Charlie Huston: Caught Stealing
  • Charlie Huston: A Dangerous Man
  • Alan Furst: The Foreign Correspondent
  • James Fenimore Cooper: The Last of the Mohicans
  • Louisa May Alcott: Little Women
  • Julie Garwood: Murder List
  • Arthur Phillips: Prague
  • Charlie Huston: Six Bad Things (started reading this book yesterday, I’m already on page 229 of 958)
  • Edgar Rice Burroughs: Tarzan of the Apes
  • David Liss: The Whiskey Rebels
  • Ed Howdershelt: 4th Wish

I need to work out how to put movies in my iPhone! Are you an iPhoner? what applications would you recommend?

See that pretty calico cat? she is about 1 year old and friendly to adults but not so much with other cats and kids. We’ve been looking for another cat to adopt, tried the Chicago Anti-Cruelty already with no luck.

Will try again real soon….

It’s not often that I see such a beautiful sunrise!! Now that it’s cold here, I don’t get to see the sun at all. When I leave the house the sun is just rising and when I leave work it will be completely dark..

Look what greeted me this morning it’s moments like these that I lug around my camera everywhere I go LOL.
