"Just Breathe"

Many thanks to Pearl Jam for giving me the title of today's blog AND turning out a fabulous love song in "Just Breathe". If you have not heard this yet - you MUST. It's wonderful - lyrically and musically.



But I digress. Business first. 2.87 miles. 30 minutes. RUNNING. It's a miracle. I finally got my lazy ass on the treadmill.



I was then blessed with a rather nasty footcramp in the middle of dinner. What a way to ruin my enjoyment of a tasty crockpot beef stew. Stupid foot. Stupid dehydration.



My knitting feels like it's been lax, especially in light of the fact that I was home all on my own (thank you school vacation program!) on Monday. But I realized I'm not giving myself enough credit. When we were out on Friday night - love girls' night out! - my friend Marnie asked me to knit her a scarf. She was on my list of recepients - I love making those scarves for friends - but I wasn't sure if she wanted black or pink. Confirmed - pink.



These are fun and easy scarves. You make them with 1 skein of Lion Brand yarn, knitting 2 strand together on huge (19) needles. When motivated, they take about 2 hours. When watching mindless daytime TV - more like 5 - with ample time allotted for chocolate breaks.



Not sure if I've mentioned my love of all things chocolate but yeah - I love it and will stop just about anything for chocolate. But you can take your white chocolate (NOT chocolate) and milk chocolate (lame) and stick it. Give me dark chocolate. Tonight I polished off a bar of 70% cacao organic chocolate that Hubby undoubtedly paid way too much for at the local health food store. It was YUM.

And while we're on food...since it's on the in background...


Man Vs. Food filmed in CT about 2 months ago, at a haunt that Hubby likes to go to regularly. He happened to be there the day of filming and has been a man on a mission (as our DVR will attest to) to record and view that episode since then....and it's on at 9:30. I admit, even I want to watch.

He's got the prior episode on right now and I am disgusted to watch Adam eat some sort of 55 burger cheeseburger. GROSS. Earlier in the episode he was chowing on Mexican, though, which reminds me - need to have Mexican food asap.

Wow, looking at the paragraphs above - I want to assure you all that I do not have Multiple Personality Disorder. Without getting into details, I have a lot going on right now - personally and professionally. This is leaving me extraordinarily disjointed, hence the all-over-the-place tone of this particular blog entry. My apologies - my next foray into rambling about my odd life will be more cohesive - or at least I'll try.

For now I'm off to watch Man Vs. Food and attempt to pare my 247 unread work emails down below the 200 mark. Cross your fingers for me - seems unlikely.
