Stitching
I did a little bit of stitching on the border of my RR. My theme is going to be snowmen. I'm starting out with the "Father Time" Vermillion Snowmen Series, and hope that the successive ones are just as cute. I've chosen a 14ct "gold" aida by DMC. It's a light tan color with flecks of gold in it. It's pretty, but very stiff. I'm hoping that during stitching, it will become more flexible. I've come to the realization with my neck and arm problems that I can't stitch for more than an hour at a time before my right arm starts to hurt REALLY bad. So much so that I have to lie down and relax in order for it to stop hurting. *sigh*


Get Fit Challenge
I didn't do quite as well this week as I did last week. I only managed to get aerobic exercise on 3 days, and strength training on 3 days. I always do well on the water drinking requirement. Lots of water on all 7 days. I need to get to the store so I can stock up on some more veggies.


Weather
Last week a ton of snow was dumped on us. Today, the temps are supposed to be 44F (right now it's 38F). Later, it's supposed to rain. Snow on Tues. Temps at 17F on Wed. What the...?!?


School
As I suspected, B-Law II is keeping me busy. There is a lot of reading and a lot cases that I need to be prepared for at the end of each chapter. Between reading, notetaking, and case studies, it takes me an average of 3 hours per chapter. Tonight, I plan on going to the college and finish up the semester in my Intro to Access class. The instructor hasn't graded all my work so far, but I'm not going to wait any longer. Over a week is long enough. LOL


Car (Again!)
Ah, ya gotta love it. NOT. I wanted to do some household shopping on Saturday afternoon, but guess what?! The battery in the car was dead again. So out came the charger. I worked on homework while it charged. By the time it was charged, I didn't feel like shopping. *sigh* This ONLY happens during the winter. I am SO ready for spring!
