3,2,1

(I started this blog post in March...I figured I would publish it anyway)

I think my blogging days may be numbered. That, or I need to come to terms with the fact that the focus of my blog may change. It may not be so much about knitting anymore, and certainly not about riding public transit (my bus commute is now about 10 minutes each way; hardly time to witness any crazy antics). Am I okay with that? Do I want to blog just about random, everyday stuff? Sure, I already do that, but am I prepared to give up the knitting blog charade?

Life has been pretty busy lately. D and I have been getting up at 5:10 each morning and heading to the Rec Center to work out before we work. I love this arrangement. It gives me more flexibility with my evenings and I can fit it running, swimming, and biking better. We do still go to the Rec Center after work occasionally...in fact you can find us there this afternoon for spin class. Yay!

In addition, we are taking Total Immersion swim classes. I am bad. Very bad. I've got a long way to go before I feel comfortable doing freestyle. Sigh. I find it slightly depressing that my swimming just seems to get worse.

I've also been running more now that I can run outside after work. It stays light until about 7:30 now so I can get home, get in a good 3-4 miles, and be home well before dark. Oh happy day.

We've got a lot of fun stuff coming up as well. In April, we are taking advantage of a Groupon and heading to Cove Point Lodge in Beaver Bay, MN. In May, we are taking advantage of the Twins schedule to head to Phoenix to see them play the Diamondbacks and also visit my brother and his family. Then, it will be summer!

We don't have any big plans for the summer because we will be in Spain and Portugal for two weeks in October.

Well, after thinking about starting a blog for several years now, I've finally done it. Bear with me as I get the hang of it. This will mostly be a knitting blog...which I guess means I'll need to knit a lot. No problem there. Why the name, "Knitting in Transit"? Because "Knitting on the Bus" was taken. I'm sure this is only being read by family and friends, and you all know I don't own a car and get around to and fro on the bus. Where I do a lot of knitting. Expect that I may also regale you with my tales of riding the bus. Well, I can't very well have a knitting blog without a picture of something I knit, so here you go. My latest FO...Dad's Sweater. More about this later.

Report from the RNC

In the end, I couldn't resist the pull of thousands of suited Republicans in St. Paul and D and I headed downtown last night to check things out. Actually, that's a lie. What compelled me down there was my support of St. Paul business. The Pioneer Press reported yesterday on how dismal business was for some of the restaurants and shops around the convention. I figured, "Well, if the Republicans won't eat there, I WILL!" After work we headed to Cosetta's . As you can see...definite lack of Republicans. They were all outside on the street. I have to say, in my Ravelry t-shirt and Chacos, I felt a little out of place. This is as close as we could get to the Excel Energy Center. It looks like the city is on lockdown. While we were just standing around, Sean Hannity passed right by us. I've never watched a day of Fox News in my life, so I would not have known this if someone nearby had not pointed him out. Then I snapped pictures like a good blogger. We then ...

Anti-Valentine's Day

I'm not wild about Valentine's Day. Why designate one day of the year to show people you love them? Why not just do that everyday? D and I have never really done anything special for Valentine's Day. I can't even remember if we saw each other last year on Valentine's Day! This year, I want to do have an Anti-Valentine's Day. I want to spend the day with D, but do things that are the opposite of what you might do on Valentine's Day. So far, the only thing I have come up with is watching a horror movie. Since neither of us like horror movies, we probably won't do that, but I am looking for things in that spirit. Please help me. Leave any ideas you might have in comments. If you leave an idea and we do that, you'll get a special treat. Probably chocolate. Or Gummy Bears if you prefer that sort of thing.
