i have a pilates appointment tonight
I have a pretty sweet deal regarding pilates. My Hubby's boss' girlfriend (see, I can network) has completed her pilates training, but before she gets her certificate she has to do 50 hours of teaching to finalise her course. Guess who she is doing these hours with? Me! For free! And it is machine pilates, not just mat! (Machine is usually 50-75 bucks an hour.)
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet her for pilates for the past two weeks (finals and papers) so tomorrow I am going to be a little sore. To put it mildly. The thing is though, it leaves you with this great stretched-out feeling.
I'll be sad when it is all over though. Do you think I could barter knitting lessons with pilates lessons..... ?

thoughts that have been rolling around in my head
... got Saturday Night Hat from ILL yesterday. Only took a month, but I get to keep it until June, so I guess it all evens out. The asymetrically feather cloche blows me away, as does the little barrette beret. The fedora looks dead sexy. Dead sexy.
... working on the cookbooks at work has made me think about cookbooks in general. I wonder if it would be neat to put together a book called "Knits and Bits" with knitting patterns and recipes for what to eat/drink while knitting. Robin's mint chocolate espresso would top the list. I don't know though; I have seen recipes in other knitting books and thought, "how stupid" but I guess I should re-adjust my opinion... unless I'm stupid? Hmmm.
... I'm working on the report for my group project. We are using OCLC's Condentdm, but because it is too expensive to actually use the real version, we are using the web-based demo version which is clunky and horrible. We've been informed in class Condentdm is used by anyone who is anyone in the library world, but I have yet to be convinced.
... a couple of weeks ago a co-worked "dragged" me to A Mano Yarn center on Venice for their big yarn blow out sale, and I was "tricked" into buying some Southwest Trading Company Bamboo for the Green Tea sweater in the Spring IK. I swatched it, and then my work really ramped up, so my poor little swatch is calling out to me, "Measure me, measure me!"
... I have jury duty next week and the VERY FIRST THING on the dangerous item list are knitting needles. I guess I'll have to crochet if I'm called up.
... I've been eyeing knitpicks to see which new dyes I want to buy. I'm torn between going really sunny, like gold and burnt orange, or all moody with burgandy and purple. Free shipping doesn't kick in until you hit 45.00, so if anyone looking to buy something for knitpicks soon? We could do a combo deal.

tired. *sigh*
I'm nearing the home stretch. I have two HUGE papers due next Friday, and then a group project due the Friday after that.
At work I am working on putting together a Gertrude Stein exhibit as well as digitizing our California Cookbook collection. I pulled some photographs of her from the collection today, including the famous Man Ray with her in a leopard skin hat. Pretty neat.
Hubby is going away tomorrow for the whole week, and then he is back for a week, and then he leaves again for four days to give a guest lecture at Carnegie Mellon (his alma mater) on in-game physics and the mechanics behind the clambering system he build from the ground up. He is a smartie pants... I guess it is good timing, since I'll be busy too, but I know I'll miss him. *sigh*
I worked some more on my Calorimetry but with the weather warming up my heart isn't in it.
I guess today is the day for blahs.
I opened my big mouth to my cataloguing teacher that I've studied a fair amount of Spanish (ie four years) so now she has me cataloguing in Spanish. *sigh* On the flip side, since she doesn't read Spanish, she'll have to take my word for it.
Off to do homework.
I think I need to carry my alpaca swatch around again.
