We are enjoying the sunshine today. It's the first time we've seen it in about three weeks. I know--I'm just a spoiled California girl!
There's just one little problem with so much bright light. I can see all the dust bunnies and dog-hair tumbleweeds! I guess it's time to give in and do a spot of housework.

Enjoying El NiƱo
Winter came roaring in last night. The wind is howling and it's pouring rain. It's about time.
When the power went out this morning, and I had the house to myself, I was thrilled. Just me, a cup of coffee, and my knitting. I've been working on some new socks.
The yarn is BMFA mediumweight in River Rocked. It came in one of my Sock Club kits. I wasn't thrilled with the pattern, so I made up my own. I wanted something simple that would show off the gorgeous colors of the yarn. I think this works.
I am finished knitting the pieces of Cosima (yes, it's really taken me 11 months). Now I need to sew them together and knit the neck band. I've been procrastinating (surprise!!). I've never seamed any knitting before. It's kinda scary.

On the Road Again
Yep. And this time I'm training to run a full marathon. That's 26.2 miles.
I don't know. Just crazy I guess!
I'm training to run the San Diego Rock 'n Roll Marathon June 6th, again with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training. This season I'm going to be a mentor, helping along some first timers. I'm really excited to start with my new team in a couple of weeks.
I'd like you to meet my two friends who'll be training along with me.

The miracle is that I had the courage to start.”
