New Cooking Skill

Tonight I thought I would try cooking something new! I'm making Chicken Cordon Bleu!! I am excited about this because I have never done it. I thought it would be harder, but to make it was really easy. I just hope it tastes as good as it looked going into the oven! I wanted a pict, but our camera is still in our hometown... next time (if it comes out good ^_^)
I really want to try cooking new things and to make out eating healthier. Since we've stopped eating out it's really been great health wise for us. Now we need to make more things so that we don't get bored by the things that we have been making. I just want to increases the amount of things that we like to make and eat.
On another healthy note, I got Hubby to join the gym with me!! This morning was his first time to set foot into the gym and he really liked it. He also will be getting a workout program so that he can reach the goals that he set. I'm so excited that we can workout together. It makes me really happy that we can do this as a team. I am losing my running buddy because she is pregnant, so it's nice to have Hubby to at least do the gym part with me. He won't run, but at least we can do something together. Maybe he will come to a race and cheer me on (he hasn't come to one yet due to his work schedule.)
Anyway here's to a happy and healthy summer! ^_^

Weather

Today we had the most amazing thunder storm! It hailed, it flooded, and it is still over coming! The thunder shook the house pretty good. I did go out when it stopped a while ago, and the roads were flooded on the side streets that I was on. It was kind of nuts! We are in for more later tonight! I love a good storm!!!
However, tomorrow is my airport race. I really hope that the weather is nice for at least the race! It should be a cool race. They are shutting down one runway so that we can run it. I'm so excited about it! My cousin will be running it with me, and I'm excited to go!
I hope the storms tonight don't effect the race tomorrow morning!!!!!!

Getting Ready

I seem to have many things to get ready for this week. Last night my husband said that he wants to have a party Saturday night but, he is worried about it because it is race day. I laughed at him and said that my race is at 9 a.m. and the party would be later in the day. It's not like I'm running the half-marathon that day! So, we are going to have a party with all his coworkers. I have a lot to do. Since it will be nice out, I need to weed my garden..... I haven't touched it since we came home from vacation. It's pretty bad! That is a major to-do.

My other major to-do is to get back on the half-marathon training!! I really want to go trough with it as it is for a good cause. All the money raised will go to the Arthritis Foundation. My mom has started to develop it really badly in her feet and hands. She is struggling to write things down because it hurts her so much. She is seeing a doctor, but they can't do anything for her until her testing results come back. It is so hard to see her like this. So, I want to do this. Today I'm off to the gym to do 7 miles. The most I've ever done at one time is 6, so I'll have to push myself today. I think I can do it.

Other than that, it's my normal stuff to take care of! When we get out camera back I'll post my knitting updates! :)

Running Around The Airport

Yesterday I signed up for another 5K. This one is at the airport and it is on one of the runways! I am so excited about this race and it will be this Saturday. It should be fun! I even got my cousin to sign up too. We have never run together, but we keep saying that we want to. She keeps saying that I can run ahead of her as she thinks I'm faster.... ha ha ha! I'm older, and heavier than her. She has run for years. I just started doing this last September!! We can hold down the end of the race. It should be a good time!! ^_^

Lost In The Shuffle

Over vacation I worked on a new knitting pattern that I bought at a yarn tasting. I made slippers! They were so easy and each one only took me a day. That was a super easy and fast project. Yesterday along with other laundry that I was working on, I felted them up. They are so cute and so I went to take a picture of them to show them off and....
my camera is gone.
I asked my husband about this. Has he seen it? We had to bring it at least to our hometown since we loaded all the picts from vacation on the computer.
He had seen it. He even knew were it was! "Well, where is it?" I asked.
"In our hometown, at my parent's house, on their computer desk." was his response.
Oh.
So, there will be no picture updates for a while. Too bad, because I think my new slippers are way cute! ^_^

Welcome Back!

We arrived home from our vacation last night. It was a great trip despite all the rain we encountered. Every night except one it rained on us. However the days were dry! Hubby and I both caught a cold, and we hiked around and saw some beautiful waterfalls. We also went to Mammoth Cave National Park to do some cave exploring. Here is some of what we saw: The deer here are very brave. They have no natural enemies so they feel that they can go where they like.

The one night it didn't rain... we saw the sunset. Entering Mammoth Cave. There are no more picts from the cave because they all came out weird, so I stopped taking the camera on the cave tours. We made a stop at Lincoln's birth place. This was a cabin that they thought he was born and lived in for a little while.

My favorite site was a pink Mary Kay Caddie! I've never seen a real one!! That was so funny to me.

We had so much fun and we saw a lot of really cool stuff. I'll try to post more picts after I get them all organized!

I-cords Of Doom

Oh, the i-cord. Such a useful tool, and yet, such a pain in the @#%$ to knit up!! My goal of finishing that second market squares bag is coming up quick! I wanted it off my project list by the time we went on vacation. Well, since that date is the end of the week, I have a lot of i-cord to knit.

I started it the other day, and then abandoned it for the Mystyer Stole. I am almost finished with clue #2 (again!) and really want to get on to clue #3. However, standing between me and clue #3 is, you guessed it, the i-cord!

Of the 34 inches that I need to knit, I'm at a whopping 9 inches. I have a LONG way to go. T_T Well, slow and stedy wins the race, as long as I can stick to my i-cord and not get distracted by Mystery Stole. Here is my amazing i-cord progress so far:Oh, happy i-cord.
