small update


Well, it's almost been one week since our trip to CO. It was a great trip! Now just working hard to catch up but since the students are on spring break, it's pretty quiet around the Institute.

I've been running for 3 weeks now and it looks like I will be able to meet my goal of running 2 miles (consistently) by the end of March. It doesn't feel like very long but I guess I'm taking it slow. I get SOOOOOO bored when running but I've begun to count forward/backwards and it helps. My ipod saves me often. :)

Fingerless Gloves

Here are some pics of the fingerless gloves that I made... and one of me with my sweet, darling, kind, attractive, smart, goofy, cool, friend Mike. He's my favorite.This one is kinda blurry but you can see the cabling and the pink beads.

I gave them to Casey tonite so too bad if anyone else likes them.

Blistery days!!

So, snow in Chicago is so strange. I walk outside this morning and there is about an inch and a half of snow outside my door. I look across the street and there is NO SNOW accumulation on the sidewalk at all. The Wind here is amazing. At one time there were snow drifts a few feet high very near bare areas. Chicago is so fun.

I've begun taking Tai Chi and Kung Fu classes. They're very fun. Yesterday he made us do push-ups... I'm not very good at those... I'm pretty sore today.

Boring day. Fridays aren't very fun as they are very slow. We're having some friends over tonite for dinner. Ash and Tree Hodges. I'll cook pasta with chicken, broccoli and alfredo sauce. Yummmmm.

9 days until Colorado!
