Today we had a snow day, which, I kind of didn’t want, because i wanted to see my friends, but it’s really good because we have exams starting tomorrow, so this means we have a shorter week, which means I’ll probably do better on my exams.
Mom has been on a “knitting felted bags” kick. She’s made two already (one of which makes me laugh because of something she told me that I’m not going to tell you about), and she almost done with a bag for me. It’s pretty sweet. It’s black, with a bright pink Jolly Rodgers skull. If she does a lining it’s going to be lime green. I’ll post some pictures later.
It’s now 2007. It makes me kind of sad, just because I liked 2006 so much. Even though some stuff last year kind of sucked. Sigh. Oh well, I’ll get over it.
I was thinking about making some New Year’s resolutions, because I’ve never made any before, and I just felt like it. But I’ve yet to come up with any. I guess I could run more, but if my stress fracture isn’t completely healed, that could be a very bad think to do. I could say I will do situps and pushups every day. But I’ll never do that, so why lie? Maybe, draw on my legs less with sharpie, but I should probably stop doing that anyways, because I found out it’s actually bad for you if you do it enough. That’s a pretty lame one. Maybe I just won’t have ny new year’s resolutions.
On Monday (New Year’s Day), I participated in the “One One Run”. (It’s on the first of the first month at one o’ clock) I actually walked it, because I can’t run on account of my still-healing stress fracture, which could get worse if I run on it too soon. Also as a test to see if my new running shoes were comfortable, and if it didn’t hurt, I could run in a week or so. It didn’t, so next week some time I should be able to run short distances on soft surfaces. Assuming my foot still doesn’t hurt running, I should be able to do track this spring.
Later that day, I went to ride Guy. Rob wasn’t giving lessons that day, but I could still come out and ride with Katie and Emily. We worked on flying lead changes, which I have only done once before, last summer. They’re pretty fun, especially since Guy is young, he has to be going fast to get a full change.
Today I went to their house again, and we made necklaces and just hung out there. It was fun. I made two necklaces, and I like them a lot.
And my hair is purple! (not permanently) I went to Anna’s house on Saturday and I spent the night. We watched “Rent”, played poker, and dyed my hair, and just talked. We stopped halfway through the movie to dye my hair, and then let it sit while we watched the rest. Anna’s Mom video taped Anna dying my hair, and Anna video taped me blow drying it. The next morning she even video taped me waking up, which is now on youtube.com.
