March Madness

So it is half way through the month... How am I doing on meeting my goals? Not great. I am only about a third of the way there. You know what I would really love to do right now..... Go to our cabin on the lake and just watch movies that I loved as a kid while I knit. I would love to take a walk around the lake. I am feeling really reflective right now. I love history the world and in my own life. I like to be friends with people forever. I love having known a friend for a long time. Having shared memories of important times in our lives because we have known each other so long. That is where I feel safe. Feel I have some connection. Giving up an old friendship is hard for me. I will drive hours both ways just for a birthday party, baby shower, funeral, kid's soccer game, Christmas party. It doesn't matter. If my friend wants me there I will be there. Yet, I feel weird like I am the only person who does this. I go to the birthdays and everyone is from their church and I am the weird one who drove hours to come. People that I see several times a year, but it is always catching up. Everyone else knows what happened in there lives a couple of days ago I am finding out stuff from weeks sometimes even months. Yet, I can't give it up. I need that connection.... Someone who knew me when...

Birthday Month

Well, my birthday is coming soon and I am shifting this blog and my life! I would really like to use this blog to state where I am in terms of my goals for this year. Not as much personal stuff; okay well there will still be some announcements. So here goes...

Congrats Cortney on beautiful baby Isabella weighing in at just over 7 lbs. I am knitting up a ton of cute stuff for the shower on the 15th of this month.

February was one of the best months in recent history. Super fun times with friends going to see movies and hanging out. Some that I haven't seen awhile. Using up yarn. Devoting time to working out. Still some things were not as I would have wished and some things that were tragic the death of a good friend and her two babies.

So the goals for this month's knitting:
-Use 3,000 yards from stash
-Knit for Cortney's Shower
-Finish up things and start Will's sweater

Book goals:
-Finish three books this month
-Go to book club

Working out goals:
-Weights twice a week
-Running or kickboxing 5x week

Stash to this point:
Jan (-1,850)
Feb (-1,000) (+ 1,420)
Total of (-1,430)
