Yesterday was a full day. I had a group training ride of about 20 miles with a brick thrown on the end–a 6 minute run immediately following a ride. Talk about weird sensations–jello-legs comes to mind. Lead feet too. Then a meeting in the middle of the day and an honored teammate social in the evening. Honored teammate socials give the Team in Training Team an opportunity to meet and interact with the “official” honored teammate. Several people have personal honored teammates as well that can be invited. Eric is our official honored teammate.
The honored teammate social was playing Demolition Ball. Bumper cars, two teams full of competitive people, a plastic ball and plastic scoops, with a play by play announcer has never been so fun. It was amazing. And yes, the round we did girls verses guys we scored the winning point with 8 seconds left. It was legendary!
Now to the procrastination. This week was also full. I was able to sew a futon cover for a friend last Sunday so it started off super-productive. Then hit training, catching up with friends which was awesome–and so needed, allergies hitting–but yay Spring is here, and school meetings for Eric. So sewing and writing were put on hold.
Since this is Eric’s last year of classes, we officially hear of our placement on April 22, but are pretty sure we know where we’re headed–it would involve some serious packing. We’re pleased as punch. That means the next goal is finishing the blue Vogue dress by April 22. You’ll laugh to know I started it a week before the 4th of July holiday 2007 in hopes of wearing it on our vacation. So here goes! It really wants to be worn, but any more than 2 buttonholes scares me.
Progress will be posted soon!
Peace,
^_^ Katy
