With three hours of sleep, I’m doing okay right now. Check back with me after work, when I have to do some cleaning before my friend Amani comes over for us to watch the first half of Sense and Sensibility<\/em> on PBS tonight:<\/p>\n

1. Sweetpea<\/a> and I have been social knitters this week. On Sunday we ventured north of the border to the Homespun Yarn Party<\/a> where we got to put a face with Mia<\/a>‘s blog (yay!), catch up with Lolly<\/a>, fondle and buy some yarn (wanna see my purchases?), and eat some delicious snacks to benefit Ravelry. Then last night we joined the Dupont Circle S&B’ers and spent several fun hours with some really talented folks.<\/p>\n

2. Sunday night, Rudi<\/a> and I were lucky enough to have tickets to the opening of the new Nationals ball park. After blowing a lead in the top of the ninth, we came back to win with a home run from third base phenom Ryan Zimmerman. It was particularly satisfying because his shot into center field went into the lower section and certainly would have been caught at RFK.<\/p>\n

3. Saturday dawned early and cold for Rudi and me as we got up to cheer on our friend Phillip<\/a> who was running his first marathon. We were positioned just before the first hill of the course and got to cheer on a lot of runners in the 45 minutes we were outside. A friend had mentioned at one point that a lot of runners write their name on their clothing to enable strangers to offer personalized encouragement, so I knew to look for that — and it was nice to see smiles cross people’s faces when I shouted out to them. And because we were up, we headed to Teaism for a delicious breakfast (before returning home to bed).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
