About today...

Up and under, through

Lost in my yarn mandala

Problems slide away

I got a gift card for a fancy schmany running store & finally took time today to check out the place. I am a bit lost in places like that - so much of the gear is really really beyond my current fitness level. But it's nice to browse. And buy new shoes & crazy bright socks! Expect to see pictures of these on a sidewalk sometime in the near future. Or maybe not too near since it's still plenty cold here :)

Throwback Thursday

My handsome brother helping to paint my bedroom as a surprise. I don't remember exactly when he did it, but I think maybe it was a welcome home from Zambia gift?

If so, then it was 1988 this is what I was doing just before I got home & saw it :)

Squirrel Wednesday

I took a walk...

...and it was cold...and slushy...and icy... So it was more of a shuffle, stride, side step, shuffle kind of a business. I enjoyed the challenge, but until this stuff melts some more I think I'll keep my workouts inside!

Monday Miscellany

I almost forgot to post today! I was getting ready to go brush my teeth (despite the fact that some important game is in progress - Ducks, Bucks?) when I remembered that I hadn't written anything today.

Well, actually, I was playing Hearts (badly) on my phone. It's my latest obsession. I am really not very good at it. I think playing is a way to punish myself for something. I wish I'd send myself to bed without dinner instead!

I'm somewhat determined to try to walk outside tomorrow. It's a bit drier now & shouldn't be THAT slippery. If I do, I'll take some pictures. Right now it's a balmy 25 degrees, so we'll see.

My latest crochet project. I'm going to participate in an Afghan Crochet Along this year - we'll get a new square every two weeks. When I first started teaching myself to crochet, in my inexperience, I bought skeins of alpaca yarn (pricey!) & started making granny squares. I don't really know why - a vague idea of a blanket in the future? Anyway, I decided to use this same yarn for this project. That way I can incorporate the simple squares I've already made and make a bigger blanket. Eventually. This square was quite worky - but fun too. I enjoyed the challenge. This one is 12 inches square.

Still in progress

2015 Project 365 – Week Two

I’m definitely going to have to up my photo game next week – Dr. M took some great pictures, but I was a slacko. On the other hand, that makes this post shorter than it might have been (& it’s not very short). Ha!

Sunday, January 4^th

Thank goodness Dr. M took this selfie showing off his new cap – otherwise the only picture today might have been my screen shot of my daily walk stats. Ha!

Monday, January 5^th

I took a picture of one of the gifts I gave Dr. M for Christmas. It made me laugh when I saw it so I had to get it for him.

Otis is ready for the winter storm!

It’s started!

Tuesday, January 6^th

Dr. M got up at 3:00 a.m. to see how things were looking – they were looking snowy!

I took this picture when I got up – glad I had the option of working from home!

Snowy back yard.

Our neighbor called us to tell us to check out the sunset – it was fabulous!

Back yardigans.

I laughed when I saw this in the parking lot at choir practice. In Ohio, in addition to the back license plates, cars have them in the front. I totally forget about it & pull up too far on a routine basis – thought it was funny to see evidence of someone else doing that.
