Age Setting In

I’m old. Okay really I’m only 28, but I feel old. Last Sunday I tried to play soccer again. I don’t know why I thought I could run like that again without some sort of training. But I tried it anyways. Bet you didn’t know one 30min half could last 1hr, did ya? (and btw, there are two 30min halves) Oh, and I did the most amazing thing in the first 5 mins. I attempted to run backwards. Backwards I tell you. You most certainly can guess what happened next. I feel flat on my a**. It was rather funny though, and a bit embarrassing too! I am glad to tell you I didn’t pass out or lose my lunch. But I felt horrible after. My poor ankle still hurts today (4 days later). I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m a bit afraid of this Sunday’s game.

But I did have my most wonderful knitting class on Saturday!!!! I love it very much. But I did find I took a class that is a bit slower then I had wished.

All we did on Saturday was learn to cast on and the knit stitch. I was hoping to learn purl (really I have already taught myself that), changing colors, maybe a bit about different yarn types, etc. I did pick out my yarn for my beginner scarf. I have gotten bored with it though. I remembered today that I have only until Saturday to finish it. And here’s the kicker, I am going to FROG the entire thing so far and start over. I have gotten DH to agree to let me take some sort of class, be it knitting or sewing or whatever, once a month. I call it my sanity therapy.

Also I see the Knitting World Cup starts tomorrow. I am doing the present (hat) for DH for it. I figure it’s a great project for me. Having little kids severely limits my time.
