    @Justacogitating Hahaha… Tell him it’s a special type called a Hoop Pine. It’s meant to look like that. 🙂 And Merry Christmas!!

    @devvyleys Mine all mistakenly thought Oz was 8 hours *ahead*, so I had a lot of missed messages at 2 in the morning. 🙂

    Just completed a 6.44 km run with RunKeeper – Sunny Christmas Day run w/ Snook. Beautiful out there!


    Apparently my whole family were trying to Skype me in the middle of the night. (Nearly ten years and still nobody grasps time zones.) We’re awake now, folks!


  • Day 2 of Christmas Vacation

    The Snook and I went for a 6.44km run around Newtown and Sydney Uni this morning. The Snook baked a bread, which made for a lovely lunch. I worked on the crochet granny square blanket I’m making for my new niece Olivia. I wove in all the ends on the 7 existing squares and then crocheted 3 more. (I’m aiming for 12 in total.) The Snook and I finished decorating our gingerbread house. Dinner was pork fillet with mustard sauce, roast beetroot, and mashed potatoes. *yawn* Good day!

    How’s this for a holiday tableau?

    Christmas Tableau

    Our tree is a native hoop pine that Ma and Pa Snook gave us this year. We decorated it with tinsel, glass balls, and yarn bows. The gingerbread house was bought at IKEA and assembled and decorated by us today with Chocolate Buttons, Allens Freckles, sour fruit tape, Smarties (the Australian kind), and Cadbury Snow Bites. Putting it together was fun!

  • RunningBlog: Week 51

    Well, this is it, folks. One week left to go and we are coming right down to the wire. I ran three times this week, including a stint on the treadmill at Spudds on Wednesday. The legs are holding up okay. I’ve been doing 3:1 run/walk every single time and slathering on Nurofen gel. That seems to help.

    Dec. 19: 10.12km
    Dec. 21: 8.29km
    Dec. 22: 5.00km
    Total this week: 23.41km (14.6mi)
    Total in 2010: 975.4km (609.6mi)

    Today the Snook and I went for a Christmas run together and knocked off another 6.44km. That means to meet my goal of running 1000km in 2010, I still need to do 18.16km in the next 6 days. Totally achievable! I AM GOING TO DO THIS.

    Survived our trip to Broadway for groceries and booze. With any luck, we won’t need to leave the house for 5 days…


    @AusVintageGrrl The lady at the bottle shop told me the parking was all gone by 9am. Our street’s pretty empty though!


    Sudden inspiration has turned Easter Show project in a new direction. Hint: not using the Shelter on it anymore…


    I sewed another skirt. It’s green with robots on it. Dr. Amy obviously likes it. http://twitpic.com/3ize7e
