Entries from March 2007
Cranking on the hat… almost done, I’ll finish it for sure this weekend, maybe even tonight but that might be pushing it.
John’s heading to DC for the track meet with Dale, so it’s me and the Littles at home. We’ve got a few things on the books planned… a trip to the goat farm to see the babies is high on the list.. but I seriously want to get a bunch of unpacking finished!
John’s birthday yesterday was fun… took the day off from running… needed the break… I wish I could just get over this cold though.. the congestion is killing me.. and the sore throat isn’t much better! Wahhhh call the Wahhhmbulance as my littles would say!
Planning a gym trip today… cycle class and then lifting with Stacy…. Maybe with any luck TODAY I’ll find that computer cord for the camera! I’ve been taking pics of my completed knitting projects and want to get them posted finally!

I had a great and speedy run yesterday… 4 miles… 32 minutes… pretty good clip, but not really a speed workout.. I included a song that Stan my spin instructor friend of mine gave me.. ‘Where’s Jack the Ripper’ by Grooverider. It’s a drums and bass song, lasts for 8 minutes and Stan gave it to me because I loved it from his spin class. I’ll probably include it in one of my cycle classes at some point, but for now, I love it for my running… I just set my pace to the beat and go… it’s a hard 8 minutes… I played it 3 times back to back for my run yesterday…
Today I hit the gym since John’s been leaving for work earlier than usual… so I couldn’t get my morning run in… Chelsea wasn’t as cooperative about the gym nursery as I’d hoped she’d be.. so it was a bit hard at first (I always live the Mommy Guilt for a few minutes)… but I got into a groove on the treadmill and then met Stacy to lift for a half hour.. man will I be sore tomorrow.
I hope I won’t be too sore to finish my JY Joyner baby hat for Rebecca’s baby shower… I really wanted it to be done tomorrow as the other faculty are throwing a school shower for her… but since I’m not a teacher and won’t be at the shower, I can really give it to her anytime.. It’s coming out nicely… an intarsia JY Jaguar Yellow Pawprint on a baby blue hat (couldn’t find royal blue in the cotton yarn I’m using… which is really the JYJ colors, but at the same time the baby blue is really more ‘newborn’ appropriate anyway!)
Speaking of knitting, I picked up a knitting magazine at the grocery store today… I don’t normally do that, but they had the cutest tank with twisted icord straps on the cover that I had to get the pattern for… I think that for once I’ll finally knit something for myself! There were also a number of cute baby hats to add to my list of things to knit..

Well, going out of town and then having John work in PA for a week definitely had a big impact on my ‘online time’… oh well. I did get a fairly large amount of knitting doen in that time… finished DFILs washcloths, and got one done for DSIL, and DMIL, I’ve finished my Feb Mid month KAL and have started the March one.. I’m already a day behind (oh well)… and have been working on a few hats… there’s a baby shower I want them done for, but probably won’t be… fortunately it’s a work-related shower and I won’t be attending, so no biggie if I can’t get it there…
My kiddos are really tired today.. throwing LOTs of tantrums… and I have so much to do with this house… I’ll be happy if I get a few things done and a run in…
