June 5th…could be the death of me

I’m planning on running a 20K June 5. It might consist of a walk, jog, run, be carried across the finish line by a co-worker or have an ambulance drive me.

The 12 week program officially started on Monday, so far so good!

One step closer to becoming a runner :)

I’m a crochet class drop out…

Yes, I attempted to learn how to crochet. I believe I put forth a good effort, but I failed. I guess the biggest thing is trial and error. When you crochet you have to get into a rhythm. Well, picking it up every couple of days didn’t work out so well for me. I understand the basics, but I was unable to get two granny squares done. It’s one of those projects you have to be in the right state of mind and I guess I just couldn’t get into. I shall try again soon.

 Now to the reason why I’m a crochet class drop-out. So the class consisted of two classes. YES – only two. I went to the first class.  I didn’t feel like going to the second two hour class where I was unable to accomplish what I originally wanted to get done. I originally planned to go, but when my roommate said hey do you want to grab sushi tonight. I was all about that idea. I think the next time I go home I’m going to sit down with my aunt and have her teach me.

Now to the bright side of things…failing at crocheting made me realize that the sewing machine is calling my name. Sewing is so much easier and mindless. Hmmm what type of sewing project will I come up with.
