Time

I was blessed this week to have 3 whole nights off! In a row! And while I've really enjoyed (and needed) the time off, it has flown by, and tomorrow I have to go back! So what have I been up to?
Well, I've completed 2 days of the "Couch-to-5K" workout program. It's basically a training program on a podcast (thing you listen to on the Ipod), that consists of intervals of walking and running. It's a nine week program that builds from week one, where you alternate walking for 90 seconds and running for 60 seconds for a total of 30 minutes, to week 9, where you run the whole 30 minutes (approximately 5k). Those of you who know me well know how much I despise exercise, and while I still do, this seems fairly manageable. We'll see if I stick with it. I have seen all different (and interesting) parts of our new neighborhood, and my body feels a little bit stronger already.
I also have been doing a little gardening. I bought some fall pansies and mums, and our front porch is bursting with greenery! (Pictures to come) I did get two bug bites on my foot- one on my big toe that ITCH, but that's ok! Hopefully I can keep all the plants alive until winter!
Last night I did some major quilt work. I still haven't gotten to any actual sewing yet, but we're getting close! I have completed the whole front half (by completed I mean cut out, ironed, and backed the squares), and tonight I'm gonna start on the back half:

Two weeks from today and I'm off to Seattle again! Yay!
