My sister asked me what I wanted for my birthday and told me she’d pay for half of an iPad. I was going to wait for the second generation iPad, but why wait?

I’ve decided I’m pretty close to completely nuts, so I just need two more things: an accurate bathroom scale and bagpipes. The bathroom scale I’ve been using is older than I am. My mom doesn’t know how old it is since it was in the family since before she was married to my dad. It seems to give repeatable measurements, but I’m not sure how accurate it is. Now I can weigh myself all the time and make a graph, like all the weight obsessed weirdos that hang out at the gym.

Speaking of weight-obsessed, I was all set to do 60 push presses with a pair of 40lb dumbbells, but I ended up using 35lb dumbbells. Probably just as well. It would have taken even longer than it did with the heavier dumbbells.
