It's not often that I can look back on a weekend and feel so accomplished. I suppose it would have been most productive if, say, I got more work done, but so it goes. I played some racquetball Friday night, in which I was beaten miserably by Tiff. But that's not what matters, right? It's all about the exercise:P Hopefully I can start practicing more. Saturday was rockin'. Got my butt out of bed early enough to go to walleyball (I know, surprising). Had a good turnout that morning. After walleyball, I went to crochet club and finally finished my scarf. Yippe! Black, blue, and purple stripes, closed ripple stitch. I know it's bold, but those colors just never get old for me.
Afterwards, I went to I Love Sushi for Kevin's birthday dinner. Sushi trumped the Winter Solstice Potluck this year. Split the good ol' tempura sushi roll and caterpillar roll with Kyle. Excellent, as always. Then we went to the Skate King for some birthday skating. Success! I actually did get to use my rollerblades before the year's end, haha. It's been quite some time since I've skated, but it all came back quickly. Once that was over, Jeff, Randy, and I headed over to Meg and Kyle's for some post-skating wine, pizza, and old-school video games. Good to see I haven't lost my touch with Dr. Mario. Sunday I slept in rather late (well, I usually do). Got a little bit of work done, and then headed over to Michael's place for an informal DDR meeting. I'd pretty much given up on the idea of getting together with folks to play DDR, but it looks like there's still hope. And he has metal pads:) Michael and his friend Sugi were cranking out the hard songs on heavy, and I was happily humbled in their presence. I really needed that; it's motivated me to continue practicing heavy-level songs. Then we finished the night off with some Thai food. So, needless to say, I woke up in quite a bit of pain this morning. But it's good pain. Ah, and here are some pics of my other short projects:
