Happy Valentine’s Day! (plus more)
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! If you don’t have a Valentine sweetie, I hope you still have a great day being good to yourself and showing your friends how much you love them.
Kids were so excited to get their cards, jewelry, and candy this morning. I was surprised to find out that the CZ earrings I got at my friend’s jewelry party weren’t my present. Thing Two spilled the beans and told me I’m getting a necklace, “but I’m not going to tell you what color it is”. ;-> I just hope it fits; I have a rather large neck.
Thing One got a flower from a boy today for Valentine’s Day! YIKES! It’s not a real rose — it’s made of fabric — but still. Hubby was less than thrilled. I think it’s sweet. Actually, I feel a little guilty b/c this boy also gave her a cute stuffed animal for Christmas, and she didn’t get him anything for either occasion. Thing Two came home from class with a bunch of Valentines and goodies. I’m glad she’s having fun.
I posted some pics of finished baby/preemie hats. I’ll post more tonight or tomorrow, after hubby gets home and can retrieve the pics from his new digital camera for me. I’ll also post a
“work in progress” picture of the current baby blanket for the twins. I’m dreaming four or five projects ahead, which is kind of fun.
Feeling like a whale after gaining the last couple of weeks. No dessert for me tonight! Still no idea where we’re going; hubby’s surprising me, which is VERY difficult to do. Maybe if I’d knit more during the day, I’d eat less, get closer to my goal (at or below wedding weight by 10-year anniversary in November), and get to do more of my projects.
Having a hard time getting back “in the groove” of exercising, but I’m working on it. Walked 1 mile Wednesday, 1 mile Thursday, 2 miles Friday. Worked hard in the yard on Saturday (feeling it today!). Walked 2 miles today. On my way there…
Wishing I’d gotten to the cemetery to put some red flowers at Paul’s niche. It’s special that he’s next to his grandpa, but it’s REALLY hard for me that he’s 45 minutes away; I can’t just run over there whenever I feel like it. Then again, there are times that’s probably a good thing. I’m feeling guilty that there’s nothing for him today.
