    Whoa! M&S have finally had their long awaited lighting upgrade: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/morris-and-sons-snb/1153189/1-25

    @SallyPompom I think you took over from me. I have this way of talking people into taking my unwanted burdens. 😛

    @chrisgander The Ars Technica review was good too: http://bit.ly/aCyxIS. Definitely thinking about getting it!

    Woohoo! Time for sewing class. http://twitpic.com/1rgsyl

    Sewing is happening! Hermione Granger is in the house! http://twitpic.com/1rh9jd

    1st sewing class finished. I made a bag. With butterflies! http://twitpic.com/1ric70

    Congrats to @Lauren_lolly_ , AK’s newest mod. Long may she reign! 😛

    @witty_knitter Ha. You’re really taking this “new Aussie” thing to heart. 🙂

    RT @Glebe2037: @DDsD “The BJ Apple Store is sexy.” <- I did not read that as Bondi Junction // HAHAHAHAHAHA! Me too.

  • RunningBlog: Fun Run Pink

    I just learned over at Other Kris’s site that the women-only Fun Run Pink will be happening a week after we get back from the States. Perfect! So even though I’m missing the Bay Run and City 2 Surf, I can still do a 5K on my trip and a 10K when I get home.

  • RunningBlog: Week 21

    A very light week for running! I’ve only done one short run since the DNF at the Half-Marathon: a slow and easy run/walk around the neighbourhood on Tuesday. I could tell that my foot was still sore, so I didn’t push it. I’ve done four classes at Spudds since the big race though, so I’m still keeping up my fitness level. (Oddly, running for a couple minutes during a gym interval is okay. The soreness only appears past a certain distance/time threshold.) I managed double-hundreds on the rower twice this week, which was very gratifying. It’s starting to happen more frequently than not. (I’m tearing up my hands though.)

    In terms of my running schedule for the winter, my Mom is registering us (her, me, and the Snook!) for the Elkhart County Fair 5K Road Run while we’re there visiting. That’ll be fun! I’m also thinking of training for the Blackmores Half Marathon in September. If I do Higdon’s 12 week program, I’ve still got a few more weeks before I have to start. That will give me more time to rest this blasted foot and hopefully start the program injury-free!

    May 25: 4.83km
    Total this week: 4.83km (3mi)
    Total in 2010: 427.12km (267mi)

    The rest week has eaten into my cushion a bit for my 1000km in 2010 challenge. I should be at 403.8km, so I’m still ahead a bit.

  • Sassy

    Sassy: Oh man. Someone took photos of a heap of Sassy magazines from ’92-’93. I think I had all of these. It’s like that scene in Amelie where the guy finds the box of all his childhood memories.

    Pulling the plug. Feels nice. Now to iron the fabric for my sewing class tomorrow. Yay for new hobbies and skills! (Such a school nerd.)

    @misswired @damana Thanks! I’ve done quilting and toys, but never really sewn garments. Skirts and shirts and frocks ahoy!

    Up half the night with acid reflux. No Tums in the house. Feel like I got about 4 hours sleep. 🙁

    Bus is broken down at Broadway. Other buses are going around and NOT picking people up at the actual stop. Great.

    @AirForceTed Really? I haven’t noticed it helping. We often get Chia bread but I’ve had this issue for years. 🙁

    @AirForceTed Ahhhh. Okay, will pick some up next time I’m at GNC and give it a try. Thanks for the tip!

  • Cher Ami

    The story of Cher Ami is fascinating. Poor little bird! And they gave him several medals. Why Disney hasn’t picked up this story is beyond me.
