MORE PROOF:

That I am such a girl!

I stayed up till 2 am Sunday morning to knit. Bear in mind that I am just learning to kint, and I only know how to cast on and the basic knit stich, but I was so excited to use up my "practice" skein of yarn that I knitted for about 5 hours straight. Sunday morning I got up and finished the long rectangle off and bound off the end (it will make a good child's scarf)... then I took my April to lunch and we went to the Yarn Garden to get my very first skein of real yarn to make my very first project, a very basic rolled-edge hat.

I started the hat last night and realized after about an hour that I was knitting a mobius strip and had to rip the whole thing out and start over. It was a little annoying, but I'm glad it happened when it did because I definitely learned from it.

The rest of the weekend was spent on other domesticities including laundry, dishes, the kitchen floor... etc... etc... ad nauseum. But for some reason I am STILL sore from Friday. My triceps and shoulders especially are hurting.

I feel like I am refocused on my diet this week (which is a good thing since I had pizza and mcdonalds last week and I HATE mcdonalds with a passion so I can't believe I even put that crap in my mouth to begin with). My new supply of chocolate protein powder should arrive today and I've become a MAD woman with the blender and frozen berries... seriously my peach vanilla smoothies are to DIE for! (and high protein with NO added sugar!!!).

So that's where I am, still just coasting until I figure out my next short term challenge, and continue to work toward my long term challenges as well... I think I might try to do a pullup this week... maybe Linn will have some tips for me. We'll see.

:D
