Misc. Thoughts

I just did something outrageously fun. I made reservations for manicures at the Grove Park Spa for my niece and myself. Paige will be 18 this year. She is coming to visit for part of her spring break. I wanted to do something fun that she would remember for years. This is a big year. One of the milestones. So I felt she deserved to be bathed (pun intended) in luxury. I am excited. Hot tubs, dry sauna, wet sauna, mineral bath, pounding massage pool, lap pool, and if we are lucky maybe even some time in the sun lounging on a hammock. My birthday is just week before hers so we really are making it a double celebration. Let the pampering begin, well in three weeks let the pampering begin.

I started biking again yesterday. I did not die. I really did enjoy getting back on the bike and moving my body. The mileage was not too high. I only rode for 1/2 hour there aren't too many miles you can go in that short of a time. I may have mentioned before that I am suspicious the bikes here at the studio are calibrated differently than the cheap one at home. The studio bikes are smoother and the seats are softer. Why would I want to go back?

I have a cardio-knit project here at the office now. It doesn't have a special home. It is just plopped down on top of a file box. I could bring a basket from home and put it up on a shelf. Kam wants me to have a special bulletin board set up with the current cardio-knit project posted. I'm not sure there are too many clients who are interested in seeing my knitting patterns and progress thereof. For anyone interested here I brought over the Lakeside knee socks. I turned the heel while biking last night. The sock is long. I will have to ball up the already knitted portion to keep knitting on the bike. I'm hoping the lace will be acceptable cardio-knitting once the heel gusset is picked up. The leg was a simple-ish 3 count. Yes, there will be a second sock! I have learned when it comes to knitting socks it is best not to speak in plurals until the second is cast on. Sometimes there is a delay of game. I don't have any single lonely socks. However, I do have a few that are caught up due to a delay of game.
