Okay so the Gym membership, I canceled that a year ago, the Y membership, I'm too lazy to drive there all the time though I have gone for Yoga and Pilates and despite the fact that they have child care I'm just not motivated. I like ridding horses, that's been my favorite form of exercise for years (besides roller skating and I don't know of any rinks near here). So I found the next best thing to a horse. A bike.

An electra Townie. It's "flat footed" and super comfortable for those with hip and knee issues. I know I'm not remotely in shape and anything too taxing would be a turn off, so I went for what would be good for my neck and back and cause the least amount of stress, letting me focus on just getting healthy. I may be tiny, but I'm not healthy, my body went to mush over the past 18 months and I'm ready to be in better shape.

I like my retro light, but we can't figure out how to open it to put the batteries in. Go figure.

On the knitting front, I knit 12 inches in 2 days. Half of which was knit durring a 3 hour stint at the air salon. My hair guy takes FOREVER but he does such a good job. I said, "I want MORE BLONDE!" and then when I told him I didn't care what he did for the cut, well he took off a LOT of hair! It needed it though and I'm very happy with it.

The new knitting:
"Pretty in Pink" tank aka Pretty in Silk (Rowan Natural Silk Aran, adore it)

Here is a cute photo of the husbeast and BG playing in our living room. This is how I have it set up so she can play. Sometimes when I am desperate I watch Oprah. Mostly I knit on the couch (while BG wants desperately to get at my yarn and will whine at me if I don't let her touch it) but mostly I will play on the floor with her. If I give her a cookie I can run around the rest of the house getting other stuff done. She is at the age where if I walk 2 feet away she is in agony (in particular when there is nothing exciting to entertain her).
