I Have Tools, Now What?

Workout: 25 minutes crossramp, 20 minutes strength, 35 minutes treadmill.

I usually do an hour of cardio in one go but today I just felt like mixing it up a bit. I put the strength circuit in the middle. Variation is always good but I think I will start with treadmill next time because that is where I really want to see improvement. The trainer left me a note... I was expecting it but it still sucked. She noted that I have been falling short of my goals lately and asked if I was logging all of my workouts. Oh well, I am back and focused again and ready to make up for the 2 week break.

I am trying to put Ara's trike together today. She has been asking about it everyday, the poor poor deprived child lol. It's harder than I thought it would be. The instructions and the way they label the different sizes of screws sort of boggles my brain. I am frustrated trying to hammer an end piece that will hold the wheel onto the shaft. There is nothing to hold the other side in place, so when I hammer it just slips out of place. Punk instructions.

I have been working on a wedding invitation for A's sister. They want something similar to the invitations I make for Ara's parties. I thought that would be no problem until they emailed me the picture they wanted to use. It's a black lab wearing a bridal veil. I was a little discouraged because the picture wasn't great quality. It was taken indoors with flash so the lighting is harsh and the eyes are little reflective white circles. I have been working on it for the past two nights and I am pleasantly surprised. Instead of being super weird it looks cute and once I put some more time into repainting eyes I think I will be happy with it.

Yummy
