Raven on the road
Jul. 12th, 2010 10:32 amWell, the weekend was busy but most of that busy was time in a car. Friday night we gamed after I had a really good work out where I made it through 1234321 of the dips, chin ups pullups set and then did bench press followed by running 16 out of my 20 mins on the treadmill and getting almost 1.25 miles run which made me happy. Got back to home and I went grocery shopping. Got back mel made us dinner and we gamed. Very good game and I got more knitting done on the mitts. I've now learned to cable. I have not learned to not knit so tightly but eh, I still have lots to learn. oh, one thing about game night...mel had a sweet tooth on friday and I brought home kettle corn versus dounuts..he was okay with that but he luvs donuts. I thought about calling Ari to have her pick up some but forgot and well, Ari arrived with donuts...on a whim. Yeah, AI brain worked.
We got up on Saturday am and had breakfast at joes. Mind meld #2 of the weekend happened. Right before we arrived Mary was telling Stacy that she wondered if we were coming in saturday or sunday and wammo! We walk in the door. After breakfast we headed home to change and go to Sierra Vista for the A&S competition. They only had 6 entries...which is sad. Not sure what is going on with the arts communities of late..I keep trying to help where we can and teach but we just don't seem to be getting folks entering. Sighs. But the entries were all really well made and the kids entries were spectacular. Seriously, very cool small pin headed doll. Got done judging and I sat down and spun. I managed to fill my spindle and had failed to bring a knitty-noddy with me so I worked on my mitts some more. See...always bring multiple projects. Got done and we headed home.
Mel played some video games while I almost finished up my fiber. We then headed to meet Richard for a showing of Despicable Me where we got AI brain intercept #2. We got to the theater and Ari, Mark, Linnet and Mason were there for the show too. LOL. Ari had commented to mark that they should have called us since they were seeing a later show than they planned and Wammo! We walk in the door. How cool was that?
The movie was FABU!!!! Go see it! Minions! Mad Science! Sight Gags! Hilarity! Rollercoasters! FUZZY UNICORNS AND KITTENS!!! It was so Fuzzy, I COULD DIE!!!!
Ahem...sorry about that...way cool movie.. go see, k thanks.
Went to bed after finishing up my second spindle full of fiber and then kept hunting for my knitty-noddy. I could find mel's but not mine. Was kinda annoyed about that but went to bed any way. I had planned on biking when I got up but bed was comfy. We got up, failed to get folks for breakfast and had a nice quiet breakfast before I had to drive to phx. My drive was uneventful and I managed to make rather good time...like, I'm not sure how I warped space time but I think the Fit has its ways. The fit check went really well, the clothes look very nice and I know have to get them all finished. Left site and headed to Shanda's to see new place and have cake. Had a really nice time and then I managed to hit up rock bottom for beer for the way home. (filled up growlers..no driving and drinking!) Got home just a bit before 5pm. Not a bad day but tiring. I had not been by myself for that long in a car in a very long time. Usually I have at least one passenger. Relaxed at home which was nice and mel taught me to ply my yarn.
I got to use my spindle that shanda got for me for xmas. Its really nice and when you see the pictures you will see how its MY spindle. Then I found my knitty noddy YAY (it was packed in the demo box) and started in on spinning new fiber. I am also happy to report that I can now spin without park and draft and that is a major accomplishment for me. YAY!!! Mel was pretty impressed and I managed to fill another bobbin while we watched the re-runs of the Tour Stage. Poor Lance. That was a rough day. Wow.
So, here are pictures.( Read more... )
So this AM I managed to give blood out of my right arm. This is good cause next time I'm going to donate double reds and they need both of your arms. I've had issues with the right arm artery turning. The phlebotomist was good and I did just fine. And there were cookies. Now I really shouldn't be having cookies...they aren't good for you but just like dementors..I guess chocolate or in my case nutter butters makes things better. Snerk.
So, gonna not work out today and just get some more work on projects. I have sewing that needs to happen this week. The goal is to have all of the clothes to finish work by the end of the week so I can weave trim for two weeks straight. All good. I have a bit to finish on the scroll and I need to package it for display and finish the documentation but that is all doable this week as long as I don't get too distracted by spinning or video games. I accomplished my goal for TdF which was to spin the blue fiber and learn to not park and draft...but I'm getting the hang of it and it makes me happy. Now I need finish up the gummy worms fiber and then maybe move onto the silk stuff I picked up at the retreat from Ruth. All good. On to paperwork..bleah.
