"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion, or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up you'd better be running." Author Unknown

Keeping my hands busy...

Obviously I did not make 4 hours the other day. I think it is impossible for me to workout out that much in one day. I physically, and mentally, could not get 'in the groove' for my second hour of working out and just gave up. I think one hour a day is just right for me!

Yesterday I spent the day knitting. ALL DAY knitting. Talk about addictive. Mostly because once I started the project I could not wait to see the finished product! I also made the mistake of telling the kids I was making a teddy bear... any time they saw me doing something other then knitting they yelled at me.

So, here is the first teddy bear I made:


The second one ( I have two kids, whether I wanted to, or not, I had to make TWO) I decided to make it a bunny rabbit. It came out a little bit more 'even' in places and was much cuter. I think if I kept making them they would eventually come out perfect... I just don't think my hands, back, butt and neck could handle another 14 hour knit session! LOL Maybe in another month.


If you have any easy knitting suggestions.. send them this way!!!
This weekend is full of more threatening dinners... family is coming into town and we are having yet ANOTHER Thanksgiving dinner to make up for them not being at the first one. Aye! Then we are celebrating TWO birthdays in the family on Saturday and on Sunday we are having an early Christmas with said family.
If I make it through the weekend without gaining a pound, I will be extremely happy!!
See you Monday
