Making Stuff

Congratulations to Emily for correctly guessing the last name that tune. She was correct with her guess of I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz. Good work Em!

For a long time I've intended to make a little quilted thing to put on the back of my toilet. A couple weeks ago I bought the material for it and tonight I finally sat my butt down and made it. I like how it turned out with the exception of never being able to quilt something flat. The star in the center is all bunchy, but since there are things sitting on a good portion of it, I don't care all that much...However this is a problem I should learn to fix for stuff I will care more about.

I also decided to make a ruffle scarf because they seem to be everywhere these days, and I found a pattern that looked super easy. It was pretty quick to make and looks really neat, but I think I look like a goon wearing it. I think I'll try to sell it to someone at work.

I also made the first key lime pie I've made in something like three years. I forgot how delicious they are. I made it with Daniel in remembrance of the good old days. He's moving to Florida, so we got together this weekend for one last hoorah before he takes off. It will be sad not to have him close enough to easily visit, but I think this move will be good for him. Good luck Dan!

 In other news, I signed up for the half marathon. However, I've been dealing with enough random injuries that I'm not all that confident in my ability to stay healthy and together enough to make that distance. It would be awesome to run the race, but I'm keeping the option to downgrade to the 10k in the back of my mind. I ran 8.4 miles the other day and since then have been having random leg pains and one horrible run that was barely 4 miles long. I guess I need to do more cross training to save my legs. I'll keep my fingers crossed and expect some of you to come cheer me on if it looks like I will be able to run the half marathon. (For those who are unfamiliar, it is 13.1 miles). I have until late October to get there.
