There is nothing exciting going on this week. Well, let me clarify - nothing exciting at home. David got to enjoy San Antonio for a conference. He also placed 3rd in a national award on mechanisms (Carl C. Smith award) for his research. I am very proud of him. I spent my days at home, working on the pink baby blanket for my friend and started another blanket for another friend. The new blanket is going to be granny square based with a flower center (this blanket is also for a little girl). I want this blanket to look more lacy and to be slightly larger.
Besides the two blankets, I have not been working on any other projects since I have to get these blankets finished as soon as possible. Both ladies are moving in May and I would prefer to give the gifts in person instead of mailing them out. Hopefully I can make that goal.
Tucson has gotten hot this week - it was in the 80's today. If the temperatures stay high like this, I will be able to start swimming again. The pool is not the greatest - it is a simple neighborhood pool that is definitely not 25 yards long. But I miss being in the water. I also want to start running again. I may have found a running partner (not David) to start doing 5k training with soon. I have also started looking into new yoga and pilates work-out DVDs. I am feeling rather unflexible and would love to get some flexibility back. It would also help my joints out since the more I strengthen the muscles around the joints, the more stable the joints themselves will become. It would also work well with the running to help stretch out all the muscles and help with any soreness.
The job hunt is not going well but I refuse to let it upset me. I figure if I can't get work, then I will just focus on being the best housewife I can be. Who knows, there could be great opportunities waiting for me in the next few months. Plus, if I am not working, I can focus on the baby blankets for my friends and on getting myself into better shape. It's a win-win situation for me.
