Doing What Needed to Be Done

In the car home from my parents' house two days ago, The Gov. put his fingers together, moved them around a bit, and then made a motion where he circled his pointer finger on his left hand around the one on his right. What are you doing, pumpkin, I asked.

I'm knitting, mommy--he said and smiled.

I thought the exchange was very interesting because as of the past couple of weeks, I've been practicing my knitting. There are a couple of immemorable hats and scarves already knit, and on that car ride home, I finished a mobius shoulder wrap in brushed baby alpaca (which I wore to work today). They say she moved to Kansas and took up knitting, some will say. And that's pretty much exactly what happened.

The Thanksgiving holidays were great. I ran a 5-mile Turkey Trot on Thursday and made a decent pace. It ended up being a lot of fun. I loved the sound of everyone's feet hitting the pavement at the beginning when we began the race-it really was like rain. And I loved running the race with Conan, even though he had to briefly walk at around 100 yards from the finish line due to a side stitch.

This morning, I hung my number in my office as a small reminder that I did what I'd set out to do, which sometimes gets lost in the everyday.
