Today was full of things ( Read more... )

GIP, because Steen and I finished playing through X-Men Legends on the Gamecube and I played Rogue, and her punching people across rooms and through walls was fantastic, and I miss her. I think I've found a new heroine to admire ( Read more... )

Finally did it! Although it was somewhat anti-climactic. But now I have a new lovely problem: what yarn will I get and what will I make with it?

Given that 1650 yards of yarn is A LOT, I'm probably going to end up getting something from KnitPicks, as that way I won't be spending $160 or so. :P Anybody knit with Swish DK?

1200 yards again! And this time I kept count by doing math problems in my head using the number of 50 yard increments I was on. Easy with number 6, very difficult with number 23. But it kept me on track, so yay! Also, made things slightly less boring.

This Saturday: 1650. I'm excited. I should start thinking about what yarn I'm going to get

1200 yards straight, bay-bee!

Next on the agenda: watching the New Yankee Workshop. I hope there are drawahs.

eta: so many drawahs! yay!

1000 yards straight! It can be done! By me! Total of 1650 yards today, most of which was front crawl.

Swam 1600 yards today. The pool was busier than it is during the week, and for once, the showers were warm, hurrah ( Read more... )

Managed 1600 yards again, in spite of wicked acid reflux. Ugh.

It was painful and nasty and I hate getting it out of nowhere. Finally got home and had a couple of super-duper antacids - the ones that taste like minty babypowder. Blech.

Swam 1600 yards today! 600 front crawl, 400 breaststroke, and then 4 x 100 and 4 x 50 in front crawl and breaststroke, alternating.

I am a swimming beast! Much like a sturgeon.

I think I need a swimming icon.

bonus: NO CRAMPS, YAY!

Swam 1100 yards today!! Not all in one go, though, and that's really what I'm trying to work on. Also, figured out something BRILLIANT for the swimming program:

Goal for swimming: 1650 yards.
Reward for reaching goal: 1650 yards of YARN! \o/
