Phil and Me redux

Inside the tag reads:

Another Punxsy Phil is here

But will he say that spring is near

Or will he see the sun ablaze

And let us know that winter stays ! This came in the Box with the most beautiful wonderful Plate I have ever owned - I will take some photos of it too, probably tomorrow. Thank you Kate for the wonderful gifts-

I got the gift of music from S my clock radio dreams have come true- it is a great water proof radio, and the frosting best gift ever was a Sansa Lil Monsta e200 series 4 gig Mp3 player with video - it is soooo cool

Punxsutawney Phil Sees His Shadow, Predicts More Winter in U.S.
By Dan Hart
Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- The groundhog called Phil emerged from his burrow this morning in central Pennsylvania and saw his shadow, which according to legend signals there will be six more weeks of winter in the U.S.
Phil's handlers removed him from his stump-shaped shelter on a stage in Punxsutawney at 7:27 a.m. local time. They then said Phil saw his shadow. The forecast elicited some boos from the crowd gathered to await the 122nd annual weather prediction.
Punxsutawney Phil and his predecessors have seen their shadows 97 times, or about 80 percent of the time, since 1887, according to the Groundhog Club, which conducts the annual event atop Gobbler's Knob. Only 15 times has the Punxsutawney groundhog not seen his shadow, including last year, while another nine results weren't recorded, the club said.
If he sees his shadow, there'll be six more weeks of winter weather, and if he doesn't, there will be an early spring, according to superstition.

trouble with a big T

well for christmas S got me a cool new gadget as you can see it is a Sportline pedometer watch!

Well I really am not to hard to please and I would say I have some good intuitveness with most electronic type of things. I am being challenged by this big time.

It seems like it would be great if I could just understand what I need to do to get it to work?? It looks really pretty on and it beeps on command and off when I least expect it. like in the ladies room at work ( my neighbor in the next stall thought it might be a bomb) yikes!!

Today I think I actually got it to countsteps, buit I am not sure if it really was doing it. Apparently it does things like count calories and time spent and steps taken, though I have no idea how to get it to actaully DO all this stuff.

I have read the above pictured manual three times already, but as I told S it is just not that intuitve. hmmmnnn well Love it anyway maybe someone who has one will help me out?? you never know in the blog world.
