Random Thoughts Thursday 79
- I’m especially excited for my Friday 5:00 am strength class this week! I have a Halloween playlist and am encouraging students to wear costumes. I can’t wait to see what people come as! My costume last year (below) was pretty tame – I’ll do better this year (as in, I will actually be wearing something other than on my head).
- I’ve been working on some other knitting projects besides Steven’s tie. I have a lot of cotton yarn leftover from making so many washcloths, so I started to use the leftover bits for some random color cloths. I also made a hat for my mom (same pattern as this). Sigh. I wish the hat yarn wasn’t so frizzy. It looked so nice when I picked the skein out in the store, but all the handling of it made it frizz out. And gah, the last four rows took me the longest on that hat! I really need to go down to DPNs for the last few rows.
Yes – I am wearing my Royals 2014 ALC shirt a lot! When I see my snister this weekend, she’ll have 2015 Royals gear for me!
- Steven and I started watching Game of Thrones during lunch break (we like to have a TV show to watch while we eat – we just finished Entourage). Mica loaned me the first book from the series some time ago, but I hadn’t started reading it because I was worried about remembering who the characters were. I actually think watching the show may help me with that. I’ll see if I like reading it, while watching it. I’ve heard the show plot diverges from the book plot a bit in later seasons… but I doubt that would bother me. Or that I would get that far in the books, anyway! I just want a little something to read at night to help me fall asleep!
- We’ve wanted a bench seat for the window in our office for quite some time, and finally got one! I think Data approves!
- It’s hard to believe the holidays are around the corner (even though I am stoked to start playing holiday music on Sunday!). It’s starting to feel more real to me though, because we’ve finalized our plans for Christmas (each year is different for us – we alternate one year with my family and one with Steven’s (and sometimes they come here and sometimes we go there))!
- Gina is running the New York City Marathon (NYCM) on Sunday! I am so stoked for her and can’t wait to hear about her race experience. To date, NYCM is still my favorite marathon! Go, Gina!

I love that you’re encouraging people to wear costumes for the Friday class! It sounds like it will be fun 🙂
Last year I totally wore a costume to the gym…and no one said anything! Sad.
The bench is the perfect spot for Data to sunbath like the King he is!!
Data tested and approved. I love my Halloween mix and I keep it around throughout the year.
I love that hat, it really looks great on you! I also love the new bench. It has a very classy look to it!
Definitely great idea on the costume. I did a fun run with Brooks and Fleet Feet on Thursday and some of the runners wore costumes.
So do you start listening to holiday music after Halloween? I “have to” (thanks, Harrison, geez) wait until after Thanksgiving. I wish we could get together and listen to music together and then knit and watch “Game of Thrones” and ask Steve to make us delicious pizza dough.
I typically do! I haven’t put the playlist on my phone yet. Thanks for the reminder – I am going to do that, now! I wish there was a way to tell my phone to skip holiday music when I am using it for music during a run (I like listening to it at home or in the car). I think you should start a little earlier than Thanksgiving this year, then earlier next year… the eventually, it will be Nov 1! Ha!
That sounds like a super fun night!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 I am on season 2 of GoT now and already like “who the eff is that?!”
