it's an update
well, it was a busy weekend but a fun one. friday night i went to a sextoy/fuckerware party that a friend hosted. it was pretty fun, the prices were good and it was entertaining to see the varying levels of ... exhuberence.
saturday i had a soccer game, in the rain, that we tied 4-4. unfortunately, the goal that tied us up was deflected off of my leg and got in despite a heroic dive into the mud by our keeper. did i mention it was pouring rain on saturday? whoo boy. then after a nap i went to a bar and met up with some friends for a pre-birthday party to have dinner, drinks and sing some karaoke. don't worry, video was captured of my renditions of "i'm too sexy" and "we are family". as soon as i get them from ex-roommate!k i'll post them for your pleasure.
sunday morning was my run and then i met up with a friend to go to a quilt show in north vancouver. it was incredible, some truly talented quilters had their pieces on display. there was a lot of beading which i hadn't seen much in quilting before as well as some really neat 3-D folding of fabrics and corners. my friend and i each got a felt christmas runner kit and we're going to get together once a week to have dinner and try to figure this out!! i envision many, many practice pieces before we start on our kits. :) we're also going to check out some the sewing classes offered by one of the shops that was in the merchandise corner of the quilt show. our first one is next tuesday to work on rotary cutting. i'm very excited because one of the things i've been most frustrated with as i got back into quilting was that i had lost a lot of my precision when cutting. and everyone knows how important seam allowances are!!
tonight i've got soccer practice, tomorrow i'm going out to dinner with another friend for my birthday at a restaurant that gives you a slice of amazing chocolate cake that is pretty much a whole cake. seriously, my friends have measured it and it's 8"x8"x8". and it's free on your birthday. booyah. running on wednesday, thank heavens as i'll be eating that cake all week, then a team meeting for H2H on thursday, a BBQ on friday, i'm hiking the Grind in the scandelous outfit of msC's choosing...and you better believe i will most likely hung over like there's no tomorrow, and then my running clinic again on sunday and a soccer game in the afternoon. whoops, and then soccer again on monday, a sewing course on tuesday, running on wednesday, a breather on thursday and then i drive down to portland on friday to race my marathon. hmmmm. i don't think i left much time for a taper in there....
