Wow, I so did not want to get up this morning. I'm tired cause I've been busy and I've been working out hard and its tiring me out. That is a good thing though. Thanks to Thyra I got through my slightly boring work day and then it was on to the gym. I modified the work out so I wasn't blown on the pushups. I did good and increase my reps on some of the exercises and I got all of the pushups in for the mod'd sequence which was also good. Got done with everything and was dripping.

Got in the car and kept warm with the heater. The wind and the rain made it very cold. Got home to a home cooked hot split green pea and bacon soup and I had a big bowl, showered and then knit while watching hockey. I'm now half way done with my heel flap. Then it was on to scribal.

We did a lot of good work but still more to do tonight...its kinda in the ugly stages but soon will be much better. Almost all of the base painting is done and the two miniatures are almost complete. I got to paint plaid! That made me squee. All good. Had a new gal from Northshield and she seemed to fit in fine. The kids were in rare form too. Markers and Mason...not a good combo. I headed home and mel was just tucking into bed when I arrived. I got my protien shake and headed to bed and read High Whorling for quite a bit. Its a very, very easy read and the author is very opinionated about top whorl spinning. I'm gonna try it out and see but I can see pro's and cons to both methods and I watch my husband spin faster than most people do on top whorl with his bottom whorl. course Ivan is a bit of a fiber freak so dunno...we shall see. Its good reading though.

Today working is a bit busy I think. I'm at the old job, staying by the phone to make sure I am available when I our team in VA calls. It was freezing this AM. I had about 1/4" of ice on my car and I actually got my scraper out to deal with it. Got into work and its much warmer but I was also running pretty late. I was way to comfy in bed. Hope we can get some good progress on the scroll tonight, hand off to Sioux and get it back Thursday for pen work. That means I will have friday for my projects, I hope. I have a sock to finish. Which means work hard today, get my sock to the heel turn and scribe the night away. All good. I've got the bandwidth this week which is good.

Oh, the beer icon is shown cause I really want one...but I can't until friday (being good)..its just there to remind me of my goal...I know, its only Tuesday but still, ya gotta have a goal.

I'd also recommend this book that just came out - Respect the Spindle (http://www.interweavestore.com/Spinning/Books/Respect-the-Spindle.html). It's very easy to understand and has lots of photos, and makes using a spindle appear not intimidating at all. I read through it at Tempe Yarn and Fiber and plan to get my own copy.

sorry I got to that part in the post and tried to read on but kept coming back to Ivan is a bit of a fiber freak and giggling.
