I'm trying to re-establish my writing/journaling habit. So, sans anything of any depth- a moment from yesterday that I found worthy of recording.

H and I started an exercise routine at the beginning of last week, as I was feeling like I was gaining a little weight/some of my weight was converting towards fat and away from muscle and he was feeling a little out of shape, and because it's a good thing to be doing. So, we've taken up a 15 minutes a day sort of workout, focused fairly significantly on abdominals. Yesterday, we decided to include a minute long wall-sit, as a change of pace. So we hunker down, and H starts singing- "Row, Row, Row Your Boat". Wall-sits are a lot easier when you're focusing on singing a round instead of thinking about how much your thighs are hurting... Also, more fun.

Otherwise, it was a productive sort of day in terms of errands and lots of outdoor walking, winding up with watching a movie on the computer and working on cloth flowers for the wedding... (The pile is getting to a point that I think I can call respectable.)

Today is the beginning of a week of lots of work- finals are basically upon me, plus I have two teachings to prepare for one of my internships, one for Shabbat and the other for a week from this evening. Wish me luck!

How about J, K, L, and the rest of the alphabet? ;-)

Cloth flowers... interesting. Do you have a pattern? We were thinking of doing tissue paper flowers..

This is the basic pattern we're using (it calls for ribbon, we've been using both ribbon and folded cloth)- http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/valentines-bouquet/instructions/5

I've made a few modifications to make it simpler- basically, just keep folding over, rather than what looks like a series of over and under folds in an unclear order, in the pattern.

It's working well, but does take a little while- a few minutes per flower. But they come out quite cheerily.

Tissue paper sounds nice, and festive.
