Gearing up

Hi there!  How are you today?

 

I feel very busy –  I’m probably not nearly as so as many people, but it feels like it.

I have picked up a new workout – of sorts.  I am trying Freeletics.  I will tell you more once I have gotten into it.

I tend to have workout ADHD.  I want to try EVERYTHING! but only like twice.

So, in looking at this, being free if you don’t buy the coach feature, there are a number of different workouts, and it being an app (as well as the website) – it’s convenient, simple (my first workout was a series of three exercises.  Not hard to remember.) and HARD (said first workout – do each exercise 30 times, rest a few seconds, repeat for 20 repeats, rest, 10 repeats – stretch).  I feel this will be enough to keep my attention for now.    Time will tell!

As I had mentioned, I am part of the Harry Potter House Cup on Ravelry, the next ‘term’ starts on May 1st.  So, in trying to craft more, I have set up some plans for the new month.  I may have chosen too much, but we shall see.  I am also going to try scheduling out my progress, it’ll be good experience for the next time I decide to knit sweaters for all my nephews. (maybe…)  So I have picked my projects, balled the yarn, swatched…  and now I wait.  I don’t like waiting…  It’s only a few more days.

Speaking of crafty stuff – Mommy and I made some mother’s day gifts for my sisters.  I don’t think they read this, but just in case,  I won’t say more.  Pix will be forthcoming.  (Hi Chrissy!  Hi Kate!)

Also coming up very soon is Hubby and I’s anniversary!  Yay!  We are going to take a few days “away” nearby playing tourist.  It should be fun.  I plan to take a bunch of photos.

So there’s where I am now.    A bunch of plans, not much to show.

How about you, what are your plans for May?

Busy weekend

Had another busy weekend – fun though! Friday I had to say “So Long” to a work friend.  She is going on to something a little different.  In her honor – cake! Saturday I headed to the Fresh Market in …

Knitting plans

So, we are getting toward the end of a new month –  my yarn has arrived from finishing the toe of this month’s socks – and I ma receiving reminders to “sort” and questions on my plans for crafting in …

Out and about

This weekend was a bit busy.

Saturday morning, as always – went to Knit group – we sat, chatted and crafted.  It was a great morning.

Noon, headed home for Game Day – once a month or so we have some friends descend on my house and we play games for some hours.  This time, we were cleaning up around 6:30 pm.  The rest of the night was TV and blah.

Then Sunday, after cleaning my house like a dervish, and hubby doing a bunch of yard stuff, we headed to Mom’s for lunch.

She had visited Milan earlier this year and shared what she learned in her cooking class.

There was also wine and Limoncello.

Yum

We headed to the grocer after – for fruit and yogurt, nothing special – then home to veg.

So yum!

What I’m Reading

OK, so I read a lot.

Like, a lot.  Usually three or four at a time, one next to the bed, one in my purse, one in the living room….

So, its a bit odd that I am currently reading one book.

One. Book.

A Different Kind of Normal

Its good – got my attention, but not a stay-up-all-night-to-finish-the-book kind of story.

I have two books waiting for me at the library, which I will be getting tonight – so I can catch up with my book club, as I reenter my life and get back involved with the groups I have chosen to.

I also just went to my latest Women’s Club meeting.  Getting back into life. For real now!
