Friday randomness, and a reminder

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

I got a FitBit last week. Have you ever heard of this gadget? It’s basically a pedometer on steroids and I’m really liking it. I will fill you in when I’ve played around it a bit more, but I just wanted to share this with you today:

I had started to type: “how long does it take to walk 10,000 steps” when this came up. It indicates top search terms for that phrase. Isn’t that funny? I guess a lot of people really want chiselled abs eh?

Two other things:

  • Thank you for filling out my ten-second questionnaire over at Capital Parent yesterday! You can do that here if you haven’t already. Your votes will be tallied and published in the March issue in pie-graph format. :)
  • I have a sweet little giveaway coming up tomorrow. So stay tuned for that!

Happy Friday everyone!

I got a FitBit for Christmas and I so, so love it. It’s cute and fun and gently encourages me to get up and walk around every so often – a must when you’re working from home. I can’t wait until it warms up a little more around here and I can go for more walks outside (I’m a total cold-weather wimp so there’s no way I’m going out there any more than I have to right now). Still – loving it!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
