My Big Weekend 'o' Nuthin'

Wow.  I feel like a big blob of lethargy.  But slightly relaxed at least.  I swear I did a whole lotta nothing this weekend.

Yesterday I did get up and go to my nephew's flag football game, so that was fun.  I love watching him play he has so much fun!  He got some more stickers for his flag belt, too!  They get stickers when they do something, I guess.  Kinda like merit badges.  They are a great group too, they're all about fun and not about winning or losing.  They rotate all the players so everyone gets to play in every game and they're so supportive and nice to the kids.  No yelling!!  It's refreshing to see a positive environment for kids in sports.

Anyway after that I came home and changed for another long bike ride!  I went about 16 miles this time.  I wanted to go further but I got to a part on the trail where it's closed for construction and got a little turned around trying to find a way around it.  My knee was starting to bother me so I just decided to head back.  All said and done I was out about 2 hours, too.  But there's a ton of stopping and starting before I get to the trail in town, and the trail section downtown went directly through the big Arts Festival that was going on this weekend.  D'OH!  So that whole part, I had to get off and walk my bike.  So I'm guessing I could have done it in less time with less crowds.  Had a minor spill when I got off the trail coming home, though.  Thankfully it was just a little ways from home and on my way back.  But I got some nasty road-rash on my knee and tore up my favorite workout pants.  Grrrr.  Cab driver was running a red light (huge shocker, I know) and I had to swerve to avoid him and kinda tipped over.  Jerk.  Could have been a LOT worse though.  (Yes mom I was wearing my helmet!!)

Then I came home and showered and just kinda laid around the house all afternoon.  Got some cleaning done but for the most part, just crocheted, read, and lazed about.

Then theonlyboyfriend and I went with our neighbors to see the most awesome drag show downtown.  Oh my goodness it was SOOOO much fun!  We saw Nina and Virginia West.  They are a blast.  If you ever can check out one of their shows, do!!

Sadly, we got home really late and I soon realized they poured the 2 drinks I had a bit stronger than I'm used to.  I think they forgot to add soda to the vodka.  I was not well at all this morning.  Heh.  Well and I think I've had a touch of a bug recently too because I felt kinda yucky yesterday during the day.  So I think it all hit me bad this morning.  So I did NOTHING all day today.  I didn't even get dressed until like 3.  That's not like me at all.  I feel all lethargic and cruddy now a bit.

But now it's evening and we're hanging out back with a little fire going.  It's a lovely evening!  All in all a lazy but kind of refreshing weekend.

Much love, I hope you are all well and had a fantastic weekend!!

Friday Five!

The short week is nearing it's end.  Thanks goodness. Now if I can stay awake long enough to enjoy this evening...


Now for today's fenced in Friday Five!

1) What’s something you were unreasonably forbidden from doing when you were a kid?

Hm.  I can't think of much.  I mean everything you're not allowed to do as a kid seems unreasonable, until you're an adult.  I can think of lots of things I was not allowed to do and was just baffled as a kid, and now I'm like "Oh my god, that would have killed me!"

2) In what area of your life would you say you have especially conservative boundaries?

Talking about emotions.  I cannot stand talking about my feelings.  Well unless I'm angry about something.  I'm definitely not shy about sharing anger.  But who is?  I guess I'm just not good at verbalizing that stuff.

3)  In what area of your life would you say you have especially permissive boundaries?

I am too helpful.  Way more than is good for me.  I seriously get myself screwed so much by trying to help everyone around me.  I've been getting better with this recently though.  

4)  In what area of your life do you routinely go over the line?

Sense of humor, without a doubt.  I'm constantly cracking inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times.  For some folks, it's what they love about it.  For others, it's why I don't have a lot of friends.  Heh.

5)  How many keys do you have on your key ring?

3.  My apartment, parents' house and my car.  That's it.  I see no need to carry around a ton of keys.  Those are really the only ones I'd ever need.  And even the one for my folks' place is mostly unused.  

Well that was kinda boring.  Sorry about that.  hopefully I'll have something a little more exciting to post about next time.  If not, I'll make something up.  :)  Have a fantastic weekend!  Much love and happy hooking!

Wednesday? I Thought it Was Tuesday?

These short weeks always get my screwed up.  But I am NOT complaining by any means!  Wow, so I'd totally meant to write bigger posts with more photos and maybe write some tutorials over the weekend, sorry about that.  First off it was so hot we didn't feel like doing ANYTHING besides lay around during the day.  And by night we were so tired we fell asleep kinda early.  And I was having a really good time just spending time with my parents that I didn't want to have my nose buried in my laptop all weekend.  Hot as it was it was a really nice weekend, and I think we had a really good time.

Ok well on to the Wednesday WIPs.  I'm posting this a little late int he day because I'd promised a photo of the Tunisian Scarf and I forgot to take on last night, so I did that after I got home.  Ta-da!

And the desk runner is coming along too.  I'm done with the main section and starting on the ends.  Then I need to pick a fun edging for the sides!

The flower chain deal only has maybe 2 more flowers on it so I didn't take a photo of that.

So there they are!  I hope everyone is having a lovely week!

It's hot

And I've eaten all weekend.  I feel like one of those dead raccoons on the side of the road in the middle of summer tight before they explode.

But outside of that it's been a relaxing weekend.  We've all napped a lot and lazed about in between visits to the town.  I've read quite a bit of my book and got some hooky time in as well.  As always kicking myself for not taking more pictures, but I have taken some at least.

We're getting things packed and ready so we can blow outta here first thing in the morning and head back home.  Another day would be awesome, but I'm glad we'll be getting home by early afternoon.  I'll still have some time at home before I have to go back to work.  And I really miss thoenlyboyfriend.  So it will be good to get some "us time" in too.  We've barely seen each other this month since he's been working at the park so much.  But now the show is open so I might get to see him for more than a few seconds at a time.

I definitely think he and I will come here some time.  It's a fun little town and perfect for a weekend getaway.  There are the cutest inns and bed and breakfast type places here in town.

Well not much else to say since we haven't been doing much.  (which is awesome!)  So I guess that's it for now.  I'll leave you with a photo from this cute little area in town.

Much love!!

Relaxing. Sort of.

Well.  We're here.  Camping that is.  We got in yesterday afternoon, so we've been here a full day already.  The campground is pretty disappointing, but the town nearby is a lot of fun.  We're just east of Nashville, Indiana.  It's a quaint little touristy town with little fun shops and restaurants.  We walked around the town a bit today and enjoyed the little gift shops.

There are a lot of leather shops in town.  Makes me wonder..... anyway, mom and I leathered up.

Now we're back at the campground all kinda laying around trying not to die from heatstroke.  And it's gonna be hotter tomorrow.

Well at least we have wifi and my parents' RV has AC, so if nothing else we'll "rough it" inside and watch some movies.  

I hope everyone is having a wonderful long weekend!!  Stay cool out there!
