My current projects are:
Training- 3-4times a week, trying to get them muscles bigger!

Going great so far +10kg/22lbs since january, and i have actually lost alot of fat too. Lifting 2-3 times as much in the different exercises also

The bike- Always on the lookout for new cool mods, and trying to improve my driving skills. At the moment i have db windscreen and some new grips for the handlebars incoming. Also have plans on testing and improving different driving techniques on a track asap.

Computer games:
I have been playing WoW for 2-3 years, but quitted in november-december, but i will start again when Cataclysm comes. Meanwhile i'm now playing abit Torchlight (diablo-ish game), and i'm trying to convince a friend to join me buying Borderlands.

Series:
Most series seem to have a break now

(Two and a half men, The big bang theory, House, How i met your mother, Spartacus etc). I started watching all the old MASH 4077 episodes while waiting for them to start again, soon done with all 11 seasons and 256 episodes

LOL! No, but I only weight 120 lbs. :-)

I can squat and bench my body weight. As long as I have my straps to help hold onto the bar, I can deadlift my body weight too, but I do sets of 10-15. I've honestly never tested my max deadlift weight. Maybe I will...

Guess a superset is in order for my next lower body workout! :-)

Yes....well that one time I did.

I have these tiny, girly hands and deadlifting large amounts of weight is more about luck and catching myself on an upswing of strength....yup...that totally makes sense.

We made it, and are now a 501C3 Non Profit Corp. We did a massive media blitz--check out freepressonline.com. They did a great article about our efforts. Contributions came in from all over and we are again solvent. We are still running on an austerity budget and have not cut back our services in the least. Networking is a good thing. The majority of our workers are now folks doing community service through the probation department. It is a good project and they feel good about doing it. One of the guys had to do 30 hrs service---he has done 110 and plans to stay on as a volunteer cook. All in all, things are good. Now we are concentrating on long term financing through foundation grants.

Blackwidow · August 24th, 2010, 01:16 PM

don't know if you'd consider this a project, but i've been trying to get my citizenship for the last 10 years. I had my interview last week and passed my test, now i'm waiting for the letter to go get sworn in. I'm so excited.

Paulette, That's great. Congrats. on the test. I guess all that's left is the swearing in. Went through that many years ago. That test can be a bitch.

Thank you, Alex!

yup, i'm anxiously waiting for the date...
The test was super easy, i was actually a bit disappointed on how easy it was. After studying for months on those 100 questions and getting the questions like "why does the flag have 13 stripes" and "who is our current president" I was a bit insulted. I learned that stuff in kindergarden...they could have at least challenged me more. Anyway, i'm still happy.

Well, I was born in a country that doesn't exist anymore U.S.S.R, but my background is Armenian. I've been in the U.S for 30 years, i had issues getting my citizenship because of the fact that I was born in a country that doesn't exist anymore. Long story....but i'm glad its over! lol

Well congrats again. And I guess since your birthplace is gone it wouldn't be possible to be like the song "Back in the USSR".

Congrats Paulette!!

Anyways I don't have too much free time since I keep stressing out over graduate school and finances. Lately I've picked up my counted cross stitch project that I'm convinced will never be finished to keep my mind off of things. Finished it should be 16"x20"
Where this never ending project stands...

It should look like this finished

Lee, My hubby (who goes by Lee) opted to get a CBR600 after he started on the 250 and hasn't looked back. He LOVES it!

Yikes. Super congrats Darrell.

I'm working on getting learning how to dive. Getting my PADI cert this weekend, hopefully working towards a commercial diving ticket. Maybe learn how to weld. Underwater welders make pretty good coin and I love the idea of being underwater with no cell phone.

Lol, too funny. Put some hot pink rim stripes and couple of hot pink 'ninja' decals on the bottom fairing of Renee's bike. Doesn't bother me too much, actually rode hers into work a couple of nights last week. Even got away from there a couple of hours and rode down by the Vortex for bike night. Of I do catch some ribbin', but I can handle it
