Exercise

My Sunday started off a little early for me on a Sunday. I had to set my alarm to make sure I would get up on time for my soccer game. Yes, it is another season of indoor soccer. Sunday was our first game of the season. I am not very good, but hey it is a different form of exercise. This session started off better already too. We actually tied our game, 4 to 4. The last couple of sessions we only won 1 or 2 games and tied 1 or 2. I am quite happy with a tie in our first game.

After soccer I came home and finished watching the Xavier Basketball game. They tried to give the game away in the final minutes, but I guess the other team didn't want the "W" either. X ended up winning in the end by a larger final score than it really was. The game was much closer than the score would have you believe.

Jenster and I then went running at Sharon Woods for a bit of outside exercise. The park was more crowded than I thought it would be since the temperature was only in the 30's. Our run was good; we did about 4 miles with the added back trail loop. The waterfall was mostly frozen and quite pretty. I should start bringing my camera everywhere so you can see what I am talking about all the time.

After our run Jenster dropped me off and I started a new knitting project. I am trying to knit a bag that I could either use out or just put all of my knitting supplies in. I was getting quite frustrated and even asked Ando how to do extra cast-on's after you had already knit a row. I just couldn't figure it out even with instructions sitting in front of me. He tried a half-hearted attempt and then gave up. I finally had a break through and figure out how to cast-on more stitches after already knitting. The bag is supposed to be a striped pattern with a different color yarn every six rows. I am not a good enough knitter to do such a thing so I had to start over after my feeble attempt. I couldn't figure out how to use the first color yarn again since it was on the wrong side of the needle. If anyone knows what I am doing wrong I am open to advice and instructions.

Ando and I ate an early dinner because he had to go to band practice in Indiana. I spent the rest of the night on the couch knitting with bad TV in the background.

Ando made dinner for me, no vino or ring.
