It's been an interesting welcome into the month of March. Icy cold winds, sleet, snow. Yesterday it warmed up so much it felt like spring and the wind gusted so hard that it sounded like the sheet metal was being ripped off the building at work. I love the extremes of weather we get here in the northwest. One day it's snowing. The next day you're mowing the lawn.
I'm fighting off a cold right now. I keep saying this even though my throat is sore and my chest tickles. But I'm not officially sick.....yet. I think if I refuse to acknowledge it, the cold will go away. Yes, I know it's silly but just humor me.
I've been running quite a bit lately. I'm still slow as hell but I feel stronger and I can run a little faster for longer periods of time. It helps that I have plenty of friends who are willing to run slow with me. I'm looking forward to this spring when Mark will meet me after work to go around Lake Padden on his bike while I run.
I've taken up yet another hobby. I accidentally got into embroidery after a friend asked me to embroider his girlfriends name on something he bought her. I have some books that show basic stitches but I hadn't really done much with it before. I looked up some videos online and found the coolest online shop for patterns. It's called Sublime Stitching (great name). The have the coolest patterns. I ordered Chihuahua's (of course), pin up babes and Day of the Dead. I went to my local quilt shop and invested in floss, hoops and needles. The fun thing about this is I can take it anywhere. I can sit in the local coffee shop or go camping with my little basket. I've taken my sewing projects camping but let me tell you that's a huge production with all the crap I have to pack. I'm so excited to start adding this to my repertoire of items on Etsy. Which I really need to get on because I'm way behind, but I need a new camera because the nice one I had broke finally from being dropped too many times (curses)!!!!! Ah the life of me.
Well gotta get ready for work. So off with you. Happy day.
