Wednesday is completed...
May. 21st, 2009 07:01 amWell, work went well, my project got accepted and things are good there. I even got a head on a few things but that won't last due to the travel next week. Eh. Got home and cleaned up the kitchen and then made dinner. We had fajitas with onions from the CSA. I also cooked up, separately, the cactus pad they gave us since I wasn't quite sure how to use it. All of my recipe searched basically said just use it but I wasn't sure if I was supposed to peel it or not. It produced kinda sticky liquid when it was chopped but I pan cooked it with a little olive oil and salt and it was interesting. Very green in taste...went well in the fajitas though so that was good. Mel stuffed himself silly, I was pretty good. Then I read the web for a while and it was time to head to kung fu.
I was a bit nervous about it but it all worked well. The jumping jacks hurt a bit but I endured and then it was into stuff that I new I could do and the knee was find until we ended the night with first form and I turned a bit too fast and it screamed at me. Mel did all of his forms after class and I stretched and did some light weights. I did tricep pulls, bicep curls and dumbbell flies. I'm a bit sore this morning but my calves weren't trying to cramp up on me like they have been. Things are finally stretching out.
After class we got home and mel played some dead rising. I read more internets and then picked up a smaller crochet hook and I think I got the hang of single crochet but I think I'm confused about exactly where to put the hook but I was being consistent and it looked like crochet.+ I'm going to dig more into mel's stash and not use crappy acrylic and see if that helps but I think I'm getting it and that is cool. I think the first of the small projects will be coasters and then I'll actually go buy yarn to make neato pot holders I found on Lion Brand's website. Should be fun but a bit more practice first.
I slept well and here we are at Virtual friday. I'm gonna relax this afternoon, make some dinner andget ready for the hall. Work on crochet and embroidery.
+ after watching a video on youtube...I was only getting half of the pass into the crochet each time. I was going through the stitch. Yup. figured it out...btw, good videos on you tube for crochet. Wow!
