Languages

There are times when I wished I could read more languages. I'm limited to true understanding in English. I can read Spanish but my vocabulary is so limited I'd have to look up a lot of words- same with Italian which I can read only because it's pretty similar to Spanish.

Right now I'm wishing I could read Norwegian, Finish, and Swedish. There are several knitting blogs linked off of Ravelry that are in the Scandinavian languages- they are brought to my notice because we have similar taste in patterns. I know I could use a translation device but I just don't have the time to do that. *sigh* Wishes and horses, you know...

Exercise

I just spent 40 minutes on my Wii fit plus. I did some warm up yoga, strength training,and hula-hooped. Then I created a 20 minute fitness routine that combined yoga, strength training, step aerobics, skateboarding (oh I suck at that) and more step aerobics. I kinda like the step aerobics but I still kinda suck at it. Hopefully with practice it will all get easier. When I was done I did some balance exercises- Heading soccer balls rapidly shifting weight back and forth. I can do left and right but I have a hard time finding center. It felt good and it didn't feel like 40 minutes... I can do this!
