I really, really, really wanted to run this morning... My alarm went off early cause I wanted to bike to the gym and do a spin class... but I didn't get up. I kept thinking I could just go for a short run and it'd be ok... but I knew I should'nt run every day... so I just biked to work and back home. The bike ride at night is a bit scary, but hey, I fell during the day and on an empty trail, so what's up with that, right?

A beautiful day in DC. Check out the view from my office window:

From Rachel's blog: When I'm typing a blog, there is an icon to insert pictures. (upper right/middle-ish area) I click on that. Then I enter the url of the photo (from photobucket or flickr or myspace- I use all three!), and click preview. If it looks good, I just hit "enter" and voila!

I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to work with Picasa... maybe next time I'll try them from myspace... Thank you!
