The idea is that…starting at the opening ceremonies, and ending with the closing ceremonies, I will cast on, knit, then cast off….something.

My team: Team Colorado (of course!)
My event: Baby Dressage
My goal: Miss Muffett for Grandbebe Girl
My yarn: Linie 12 Clip, an Egyptian cotton in a lovely shade of royal-ish blue.

Now the rules say no casting on before opening ceremonies, Beijing time, which was 6AM today, in the Rockies. It is safe to say that Miss Muffett wasn't on the Needles of Iron at that time! I did start the casting on shortly after 7AM, just because I thought, I can cast on a few with my coffee and Matt Lauer!

(You know what? Meredith Viera had on the same dress as she did yesterday! I think they must have taped today's Today yesterday! Yes I do, and that would make Today actually Yesterday, and that just might breach the space time continuum and then where would we be and just what were they thinking? Like I would be the only one to notice that lovely dress of bright aqua-turquoise....because I am thinking that was the color.)

I must cast off by 10AM on the 24th. That is Saturday morning, so that will help.

In other news...

I picked, and we ate, on a salad my little zukes last night, along with a garden grown tomato. Ymmy!

Another week of teetering on the brink at work. It's scary that I am getting so good at this, and that normal for me is now so very very weird! I sure hope I am learning what I need to be learning in all this.

I fully intend to start riding the bike to work next week. Again. July was a very off month with all the trips, vacation planning, and visitors. Feeling a desperate need for more regular exercise, both mentally, physically, and emotionally. Where I am feeling a need, nothing for it but doing something about it!

And, everybody? Thanks for checking in and reading this little effort of mine. I appreciate it. Really, I do!
