Monday Micro: Back on track

My running is back on track! After the last two weeks of physical therapy (for pain in my IT band), I went out for my 11-mile training run Saturday.

And it went great! My legs are feeling so much better, and they really came through for me on this run. It makes me so much more confident for the half marathon on December 5!

I just wish I'd gone to physical therapy earlier! Sometimes I can't be a do-it-yourself type, and this is one of those times I wasn't able to fix myself. Thankfully I ended up at a place that is helping my body to become strong and loose again.

Pac-Man and iron-on

When we visited The Engineer's parents a few months ago, his mom pulled out a shirt that my husband must have worn when he was a pre-teen. The front had his name ironed on, and the back expressed his affection for a particular video game.



I was enchanted by this well-worn t-shirt! It just screams "1980s"...from the Pac-Man reference, to the iron-on letters (which are, of course, fuzzy!), to the fitted style of the shirt, to the spelling of "LUV." Check out the ultra-soft texture of our favorite yellow video game character:



I love it (or should I say "luv" it?) so much that I've adopted it as one of my sleep shirts.

It's totally awesome. (To the max.)

Monday Micro: Kitty cat hat!

I made this hat for a friend's daughter...and it's too small! It should fit babies ages 2-6 months, approximately (and would probably be most comfy for little ones on the smaller end of that range.)
