Busy

It seems like this week I am so busy. I have had a lot of meetings this week for different things as well as a few days of subbing. It's so nice to be busy and have a plan for the day!

Tomorrow night is the intermediate tarot class! It should be a good time. Journal Writer can't go with me, since she hasn't finished the first class yet. I am a bit nervous since I don't know anyone in the class, but I excited to do readings with other people and get their feedback since they will all have completed the beginner class too! I want to see how they interpret different things. It will be nice to talk about what I have seen and noticed with my decks.

This weekend I am looking forward to get to a spinning guild meeting! I haven't been in months!! It always seems like something has come up when it is a meeting weekend. This weekend I have made sure to set aside time so that I can go!!!!! I am still meeting with my running partner in the morning before the meeting, but we are only strength training, so I will have time to get do that and then make it to the meeting. Unless something major comes up, I will get there this weekend!!!!! I miss going so much!

54 Minutes and Curry Stew

We ran a good race yesterday! My running buddy and I planned to run the race in an hour and we completed it in 54 minutes! Yeah us! We finished strong by sprinting to the end. It was amazing.

We were shocked at how many people were running it! In fact there were so many that we didn't get our promised tee-shirt to show that we ran it, nor did we get water at the end. That's how many people there were!!! It was crazy. We started at the end of the race so all we saw when it started was a mass of humanity running forward. It looked like Giza Cross Walk... only all going the same way! Crazy.

Today I went out to lunch with Journal Writer. We met at this fantastic little cafe and just sat and talked for a while. It was so nice to have a chance to catch up!

Tonight for dinner I made something new. I made a Potato Curry stew:It's a bit heavy on the coconut milk, but other than that it is pretty good. Since my hubby is not home from work yet. I am enjoying it while watching one of my favorite zombie movies: Resident Evil. Classic!

Race Day Is Almost Here!

Tomorrow is race day! I am excited about it. I will be running with my friend and we are going to the race together. We have to run it in under an hour as she needs to get home, shower, and then drive to her hometown for her sister's wedding dress fitting. I think we can do it! It should be a good time. We are getting a lovely green tee-shirts ( yeah, also for St. Patty's Day) for our efforts. I think we are ready! Weeks of training and running every kind of weather have prepped us for this! I hope that the weather is nice tomorrow!!! ^_^

Lunch and a Table

Yesterday, Goth Girl and I got together for lunch! I feel like I haven't seen in forever, so it was very nice to catch up. We are trying to plan another night out, but we are not sure if we should try some place new, or follow our little goth hearts back to our favorite place all dressed in black. This is a hard choice for us!

Anyway, we went out for sushi and had a great meal. I had a gift certificate so most of our meal was free!! I order a "red dragon" roll... I have never seen this in Japan so I took a pict of it. It was really cute and it tasted great:

Today, my parents came to visit. They came baring gifts! I like when they come with presents!! Not this past Christmas, but the one before that they told us that they would get us a kitchen table. It has taken us that long to find one that 1.) we both like, and 2.) that fits our very small space. My kitchen is small... we're talking like on a very small boat small. So finding a table that fit has been a challenge. When they brought it in today they both said "oh, it looks too small for that space... maybe you want a bigger table." I did hum and haw over it, but I decided to keep the table. I am so glad I did!!! It looks perfect and it will be nice to at dinners at. Here is my new table:

I don't think we could really fit 4 people at it for dinner, but since it is only hubby and I, it will do just fine! ^_^

Craft Time!

Today while I was out and about I found this great magazine:

I am so excited about all the cool things in it! There are things to sew, make and use my wonderful creative side for!!!! I love the dress on the cover. The best part of it is that most of these projects use stuff that you can get at a second hand (recycle) store!!! Yeah!! I love second hand stores. I always find a great treasure. I admit that I stop at one to see if they had the shirts to make that dress, but sadly I couldn't find two that were close.... but, I found a great long black skirt that was $3. Love it!

Cooking and Stuff

Today is super warm! It's going to be a great day to run. My race is getting closer!!! Next weekend will be the race. I only have a few more days to train. My running buddy is out of town today, so I am on my own to run today. That's ok, I can do it!

Yesterday I made a pot roast. I love to make this dish since it is so easy and it cooks by itself all day. Here are my veggies all cut up and in the pot:Then I throw the roast on top of that (after I season it!):Then, 6-7 hours later, we have dinner:
Tomorrow night I am making something new! The best thing about being home is that I have time to try new recipes and time to clean my house up!
I do hope I find another job soon!

Changes

So, I had to change the bog name from Black Rabbit Knits to Black Rabbit Hobbies. I recently been talking about all my hobbies, but not my knitting. So, with that in mind, now I don't feel so guilty talking about my other hobbies and not just my knitting. Don't worry, there will still be knitting up dates from time to time! ^_^
Another big change has been that running started as a goal for something big to do before my 30th birthday. I never expected to like it or it to become one of my new favorite healthy hobbies. It was just another thing that I could say I have done. However, the more I run, the more I like it. My race day is coming up fast and this time it is 5 miles, not just a 5k. I am very excited about that. My running partner and I ran 6 miles yesterday which was a personal best for both of us. We might be Team Turtle (we are the slowest runners), but we are out there doing it! That's our mantra anyway. Go Team Turtle!
