The Weekend

Wow, I can't believe the weekend is already over.  I feels like it just got here.  I got a bit of knitting done each day.  During band practice on Saturday afternoon and during the services on Sunday I worked on Preston's sock. Then some work on the KAL practice sock.  Amy cooked an awesome meal on Saturday. 

Sunday was a little crazy with both services of church then lunch with brother and parents. Then we actually got a little nap and then had a wonderful dinner. Mr80grit is just working one job right now so I actually got to see him quite a bit this weekend. Loved it!

Wow it's the weekend

How in the world did it get to be the weekend? Time is truly flying. Which now that I look at the clock today I can't believe the time. I got up around 7 am and now just at the computer? Wow! I have a pretty good to do list today, I need to go to the butcher's, the grocery store, see my friends, grab a green tea before band practice at 230pm.  Then do some week long meal prep. My dear friend Amy has changed how I think about eating so now I am actually eating good food at each meal so I have to prepare ahead of time or I forget to eat and then I feel yucky. I have to say that I am feeling better than I have in a long time and look forward to feel better and stronger each day.

Today is kind of chilly after temps in the mid to high 80's near 90's the temp today is around 70 and in the backyard this am it was 60.  Chilled my green tea quite quickly. Well now for some pictures then off to start the rest of my day!

Blackberry from last night! Yummmmmy!

Knit Night - Applied String Knot Theory Class

There is a small group of us that try to meet at the girls house once a week to do a knit night on Thursday as much as possible. Last week, Em had testing for her yellow belt so that we didn't get together.  Last night we got together for knitting and food.  Three of us are doing a KAL. We are doing baby booties and beret. We are going as slow as the slowest knitter.

The yarn cakes

Dinner!

My yarn

Our other friend is working on a scarf of her own design.  I cast on a 2nd yarn of the project so that I can knit ahead so that if we run into problems with the pattern, hopefully I have figured it out before we each it together.

On a side note, I have been knitting socks since 2006. Em was telling me I have probably knitted over a million stitches, I don't even want to think about it.

A little energy to start the morning!

Today after my wonderful cup of green tea, I enjoyed a little Root beer energy drink in a cheery glass.  It made my breakfast seem more like a celebration. It almost felt like having a mimosa.  It is Thursday, which means Knit Night!!! Or applied string knot theory class depending on the day. We are doing a KAL with a baby hat and booties.  I can't wait to see how this goes!!!

Mornings in the summer

Each morning since June 3rd, I have spent at least 15 minutes outside on the back patio enjoying either a hot cup of green tea or coffee.  I love that we have a small backyard and a nice view of the sky.  It puts me into a good mind set for the start of the day. With the days getting hotter, I am going to have to set my alarm earlier so that my walk is complete before it is too hot to enjoy outside!

A little update on Tuesday

First Corner

My Coffee

The weekend saw the finishing of the first square of the baby afghan and then today I was finally able to drink coffee again. I was so needed. I look forward to tomorrow's cup of coffee. I will be limiting the amount of coffee to just in the morning and then have green tea the rest of the time.  I also got a new phone and for some reason it won't upload picture posts to my blog but I did figure out how to get the photos from my phone without plugging it into my computer. I love technology!!!

New phone

I don't know what happens but I seem to kill a phone each year. This time I made it past student fest.no pictures today. But can't wait to try out this new phone camera
