Wannabe alert

People, there was a guy wearing sunglasses and a gold chain in my gym today. Seriosly. It's and internal work gym with no window. I couldn't believe it.

On a good note GWB says he can feel some muscles. I'm doing pretty well so far. Twice a week at least 30 minutes. More like 45 ususally. I do two 15 minutes stint on cardio and then split the weight machines. I am weird (no surprise there) by having a strong ab set but a weaker back. I can sit on a balance ball no problem but can hardly do 8 full reverse sit ups on the contraption. Yeah, bugger.

Oh, I never put up pics of the spoils from Estes. Side effect, I now need a new wheel. I did some spinning on the Schacht Ladybug and fell in love. Now I need to sell Helga and scrape together some more money.

No theme today

Sometimes it's just a hodge podge from things that are going on. For example Genius and I are getting bags made. We want some lovely messenger bags capable of toting things to work. Because quite frankly I hate having stuff in my hands for my 10 minute parking to office walk.

GWB has been talking to me about how much teal I am collecting. But it's SOOOO pretty! The tan one is paisley and will be the inside.

Genius chose these

And then GWB and I had a brief encounter with the Highlands festival. We felt like salmon swimming up stream. These pictures were taken with Lyda in mind.

Ha, booty. Yes I'm 12 inside.

What is Denver's obsession with Possessed Horses?

Irreverent from the weekend

Here's a random selection of pictures from the weekend

GWB bought me a necklace. My first jewelry from him! It's one of those butterfly wing necklaces. It' has two sides.

So we went to this restaurant and these are the lollipops.

So we were in the shop and there was this big shaggy black rug. I was walking down the case and suddenly the rug "Harumphed" at me. I went "OH MY GOD IT'S A DOG!" I thought it was a rug.

Tell me that didn't look like a rug. The gal at the counter was like (east euro accent)"Oh ya, goofy newfie. He's so laid back. Newfoundland." Seriously scared a year off of me!

The dangers of working out

Yeah me, I joined the work gym. It's a steal and you get 3 free personal training sessions. The bad part, the evaluation. They used the fat pincher, kinda like this:

I'm glad it was in a private room. I felt REALLY chubby after that. Then there was as many pushups and then crunches as I can do in a minute. And then the bike.

20 minutes with the tension going up every 3 minutes. My tuccus is so sore. I think I might have little bruises. I've been sitting funny since yesterday morning. Seriously.

Festival Weekend

In the great city of Denver there was the People's Fair (not communist, but the Capital Hill People's Neighborhood Association, or something) and the Italian Chalk art festival. So here's some shots.

Do you think I'd look good in the pink one?

Fun with the Sun

Remember my party? Here's the chalk art festival entry from the party coordinator

Maxfund, reminds me of the simpsons

Andrew Hudson Joblist, yeah I don't get it either

Back from the dead

Yes, I know I have been bad. But I have been hired now and feel MUCH less guilty about blogging when I could be job searching.

SO first here's the baby hats for a woman having twins. Don't you find the baby pink and blue so boring?

And this is the yarn dyed with marigolds.

This is the Baudelaire Socks pattern

And GWB is getting some socks. I'm pretty far into pair one. Knitting right up the leg. I went from size 1 on the foot, 1.5 on the ankle and now to 2. I think it will give him more room.

Here's a sample of Basketweave rib.

The lace scarf feels like it will never end. I can't imagine the rediculous shawl I want to do.

although I was thinking of getting a book on CD to do while I was knitting. THat way I have something to keep my mind busy without distracting my eyes. Otherwise known as the Heroes phenominon. I learned I can't knit and watch engrossing shows at the same time. Unless it's a drunk knitting pattern. Even then it's a 50-50 chance.

And last but not least, what do you guys think of this pattern with this yarn? It's my handspun.

The next home stretch...

People, it might be here. I had a good interview and now I'm waiting to hear if it's me or someone else. THE SUSPENSE!

In the meantime I'm going to knit like a fiend, change banks to a credit union (can I tell you about some FEES) and help the sister get ready for her MOVE OUT!

Yes people, you heard that right. The Sister will be buying her own place moving out as soon as July! Imagine, the whole condo to myself. The baths whenever I want without a scuzzy tub. The closet space!
