So I wanted to make John this super cool hat I found on Ravelry (it's a website for knitters. I am SUCH a nerd.)   It's reversible and you use two different colours and it looks funky with variegated yarns. I'm excited about it, I want to make it for him for Valentine's Day. I got a discount code from a podcast I was listening to about knitting (it ( Read more... )

I never seem to have time to do everything I want, even when I have three day weekends now.  But I'm trying.  I'm trying to run 3x a week, do yoga 3x a week, try a new recipe a week and keep up with all the normal stuff, laundry and dishes and cleaning and whatnot.  I never seem to get everything off my to-do list, though.

But, the running is going ( Read more... )

I haven't seen Dr. Who yet, so nobody talk to me. I probably won't have time until Friday!!  I'm in a sort of anticipation/dread mode right now. I don't want DT to be gone.

I went over to John's this afternoon so we could make cookies and while I was helping him tidy up a bit, I noticed that he had one of those log bins, the kind that have the attached tote with handles so you can load it up and carry the wood to the frame and attach it.  It looked like wrought iron, with scroll work.  I asked him where it came from ( Read more... )

I love Christmas, I really do.  I go a bit mad every year. But this year, I've been so busy, time has flown by and I'm not enjoying it as much as I normally do. Plus, there's lots of stuff going on, in my life and the lives of people I care about.  I'm tired. Really really tired, but I have to finish writing out Christmas cards for people at work.

Woah.

This was my first week working 4 days instead of 5.  Instead of working five 7hr days, I work 4 8:45 days.  It's a bit of an adjustment, but I think I'll like it. For one, I get a longer weekend.  But I was SO BUSY this week.  I'd get home at 5:15 and rush off to the gym, get home around 6:15 or 6:30, shower, dinner, stuff around the house BAM it's ( Read more... )

i hate it when my dad calls me princess.  I've asked him not to many many times, yet he still does it and it pisses me off.   I am SO not a princess.  grr, argh,

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been really busy with real life. Not nearly as exciting, but things haven't been bad.  I got over the pulled muscles in my leg after several bouts of physical therapy and started running again and then a week later twisted my ankle. I've been hobbling for a week now.  Work was insane for a few weeks, I ( Read more... )
