While I was in the shower this morning I wrote an entire weblog post inside my head. Of course, I can't remember a word of it, or even the theme which I thought I might highlight. Let us assume that shower-induced weblog post was witty, pithy, and wise.
Instead I will write something else to put an end to the slogging around here. Spring has decided to, well, spring on us here in the Treasure Valley, and I am love-love-lovin' it. I rode my bike to work this morning wearing short pants and a jacket and didn't freeze (instead of the long-johns, coat, hat, gloves, etc. I've had to wear on other recent bike-to-work jaunts). Hooray! Good weather always makes me feel like getting off the sofa, and I've been skiing, putting in the hours at the YMCA and planning early-spring backpacking trips. Yes my friends, the Knee of Doom is no longer holding me back. I'm off to have fun, and it better come along with me--kicking and all.
If'n you are local(ish) and would enjoy doing some activities in the outdoors (as varied as an evening stroll through the Liberal Containment Zone to a weekend camping trip), gimme a holla (my new phone works in the house!* or shoot me an email).
And just in case you thought I'd forgotten, I have photos of completed knits to share. These two (my brother and sister-in-law) are sporting their Christmas presents before heading out to dinner with the 'rents in SF a few weeks ago. She's got on Intolerable Cruelty in Knitpicks Merino Style color Storm, and he's showcasing Avast in Brown Sheep Co. Lamb's Pride Worsted color Olive. These are the first clothing knits I'd ever actually completed (Tempting still doesn't have a ribbon), and I'm very proud of myself. Hello, they fit! I'm hoping to someday get those two crazy kids to do an actual photoshoot for me, but until then this will have to suffice. (Also, in the background, Afghan of Love.)
Now if only I would take some other finish projects outside into the sunshine, I could show you that my hours of Not Blogging and sitting on the sofa actually do lead to more than me knowing way too much about pop culture. Yeah, whatever, camera.
*Trust me, you don't want to hear the story about how my REPLACEMENT phone went kaflooey and I had an aneurism and hit up ebay and now all is well in the world.
Wow! Great knitted items: they look fabulous.
And I'm so excited for you about your knee! I wish I could go on an early spring backpacking trip, but oh well. Have fun!
Thanks sweetie. You know, if you happen to be in Idaho, I know someone who would love to go on a late spring/early summer backpacking trip ...
Ohh! I love the skirt. I knew it would be cute, but the real thing has far surpassed even my wildest (or wyldest?) expectations.
And once I get this "I want a new bicycle" situation under control, I would love to travel around the many fun spots of boise's liberal bastion with you.
