Weekend in reviwe.
Sep. 14th, 2009 07:34 amWell, saturday was busy with biking and shopping and hanging out. The boys killed zombies for 4-5 hours. I got holly a Chatter Phone. It was a fav toy in my house when I was little and I still think I have mine somewhere in the old toy box. But we figure, miss holly would luv it.
Remember those?
Had a nice time at the party. Lots of kids having a really good time. I finished mel's hat with some extra single crochet rows. I think any time I do ribbed edging in crochet I just need to start and end with a single crochet row...it looks so much better and fits better. I'm having similar issues with a hat I've started for Momma Kemp...all the hats I've been doing have been top down..this one is bottom up and I'm not a fan of front chain, back chain single crochet...I don't think it is giving me the ribbed look at all. Hmmmm...it also give instructions for a knitted brim and I might have to try that...but we shall see. I PM'd the designer on ravelry and we shall see.
The rest of the day was kinda blah. I was working on crochet and got a bit...dunno, odd. The pressure was getting weird and my allergies went berserk. I was all lurgyish and yucky. I got a shower early and snuggled in to bed to read. I wasn't going to read long but the book got really good. I had finished Assassination Vacation (#21 for the year) on Saturday and it was great...makes me realize that after the civil war I don't know much about american history. Gonna pick up her other books cause she is a faboo writer who makes really neat connections that none of your history books ever talked about in school. I started reading Greywalker by Kat Richardson and its really interesting. The premise is cool, the characters are all interesting and the action doesn't stop. I was going to just read until mel came to bed but he got distracted by dinos on tv and was up late. I got up when I realized it was after 11pm and he hadn't come to bed. My body was hurting from my ride the day before and a sinus headache was starting. I took some ibuprofen and headed back to bed. Got snuggled which was good but I still had a very hard time falling asleep. I wasn't comfy for quite a while. The girls kept sleeping on my sore spots. I had odd dreams and took me a while to come out of dreamscape this morning.
Definitely taking the allergy meds this AM. Plus I need to make sure to stretch out good today...things are sore and they shouldn't be. I need to bike more and that is about all I can say on that. I'll get the bike back tommorrow, get a bit more fit on my current seat and probably go out for a long ride to try things out again. Need to start pushing mileage and hills now to prepare for the ride in November. I also need to get my registration in as well.
So, things are shaping into monday and now its time to really get things banged out on the engineering front.
