i think my sewing skills are improving. monday afternoon i came home and cut out some fabric, thinking i'd just get it started and slowly work it out. after a quick trip to gainesville and a surprise dinner with alex's parents, i came home and got started on an apron while alex watched tv. i'm happy to say i only had to rip about an inch of stitching out this time (vs. about 4 or 5 feet last weekend). it came together quickly, which was even more incredible since i sort of made it up and put different pieces together. i felt like a champ. now i just have to put a few decorative details on it and i'll be good to go.
last night was trivia. we were awesome as usual. more tornadoes came through, somehow missing denton. the sirens were going off in town, but we were stuck at the bar. several tornadoes touched down around the area before moving north and east. i'm grateful for getting skipped but sad for the destruction others faced.
i just finished kristin armstrong's book "mile markers," based on her blog. a lot of the chapters were repeats of the blog entries, but a nice reminder of how running and life come together and help each improve. now to begin "the hunger games." i'm not even started and i'm already excited about the cast of the movie.
today i'm hoping to get back on track with my nutrition and running and embroidery. we'll see how that actually happens. until then, reading time at work.
