Alo,
Salut,
sunt eu, un haiduc,
Si te rog,
iubirea mea,
primeste fericirea.
Alo, alo,
sunt eu Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep,
si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii
nu-ti cer nimic.
Vrei sa pleci dar
nu ma,
nu ma iei,
Nu ma,
nu ma iei,
nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.
Vrei sa pleci dar
nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei,
nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.
Te sun,
sa-ti spun,
ce simt acum,
Alo,
iubirea mea,
sunt eu,
fericirea.
Alo, alo,
sunt iarasi eu, Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep,
si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.
Vrei sa pleci dar
nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei,
nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.
Vrei sa pleci dar
nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei,
nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Hello [on a cellphone],
greetings,
it's me, an outlaw,
I ask you, my love,
to accept happiness.
Hello,
hello,
it's me, Picasso,
I sent you a beep [cellphone signal],
and I'm brave [or strong],
But you should know that I'm not asking for anything from you.
You want to leave but you don't want don't want to take me,
don't want don't want to take me,
don't want don't want don't want to take me.
Your face and the love from the linden trees,
And I remember your eyes.
You want to leave but you don't want don't want to take me,
don't want don't want to take me, don't want don't want don't want to take me.
Your face and the love from the linden trees,
And I remember your eyes.
I call you [over the phone],
to tell you what I feel right now,
Hello, my love, it's me,
your happiness.
Hello,
hello,
it's me again, Picasso,
I sent you a beep [cellphone signal]
and I'm brave [or strong],
But you should know that I'm not asking for anything from you.
You want to leave but you don't want don't want to take me,
don't want don't want to take me,

The Mi-ai's again are only sounds

You want to leave but you don't want don't want to take me,

Current Knitting and Running log

Okay, so I finally got around to getting pictures of some current works in progress. They are in this order: A blanket that I ripped out and started again last night; A sock (obviously only one, as the other is on the needles); two photos of an Irish Hiking Scarf. I'm not sure how the cables look, but I'm happy with the way the scarf is coming along!

And, here is my running log for today:

Running, Knitting, everything else

Hi all... This running accountability thing is working out great, because now I update my blog every other day!

I got a new mp3 player today. I'm SO excited! It's so much nicer to have a little mp3 player strapped to my wrist than have to carry a diskman with me. I downloaded all of the C25K stuff onto it, and since I'm repeating week 1, I'll just take that off when I finish it up. Then I'll have week 2 and 3 on there, and so on. I feel like I'm doing so well with it, I can already notice a difference in the fact that I can last a lot longer when I'm out.

As far as knitting goes, everything was on hiatus while I banged out three dishcloths for Johns mom this week. Today we took her out for lunch because her birthday was last week, and I wanted to give her something. Dishcloths were the fastest thing I could do! So I made a white one with a cross on it, a pink one with "shells" on it, and a red one with an M&M on it. She loved them! Now it's back to work on socks. I will take a picture of the sock I've finished and the scarf I am working on so I can be sure to get them up here by my next update on Friday.

I take my PRAXIS I on Saturday, so I've got to head off and study for it. I'm getting a little nervous, though, which isn't good. I was excited about the idea at first, but now I'm not so sure anymore. PRAXIS II is in June.

I am debating becoming a consultant for Premier Designs now. I've been told twice that I should do it. I e-mailed Janelles sister to see what she thinks of it, but I haven't heard back from her. She's probably busy, with being VERY pregnant and all. But I hope she gets back to me soon. I would think I would enjoy it, since I've been thinking about how much I've missed doing Pampered Chef lately. I don't miss the money I lost doing it, but I do miss doing the shows and everything.

Okay, here's the running log for today:

Running (and various other) updates for today

Wahoo! I broke 1/2 a mile today! I'm redoing week 1 of the Couch to 5K program (C25K) because I started in the middle of the week. I ordered an MP3 player online yesterday, and should have it for Wednesday, so if I postpone my run until later in the day, I should be able to bring my music with me. I think that will help significantly!

John and I completely missed his mothers birthday on Thursday! I feel terrible! Fortunately, she was understanding, and I'll be able to knit her up a few dishcloths as a birthday gift. We're going to take her out for lunch, too, probably on Wednesday.

I am loving being on vacation this week! Unfortunately, I think the yard cleanup trash day is tomorrow, so we've got a lot of work ahead of us for the day today! I'm going to work on the back yard first, while it's still shady out there. Plus, that's the worst of the two. The front yard has been raked already, but during the last couple of storms, we lost some branches on some trees, so we've got to get the little ones that are left all picked up.

Anyway, that's all the news from here, so without further ado, here is my running log for today:

Running and a new scarf

I don't have any photos of the scarf I'm working on right now, and it's definitely not scarf weather at the moment, but I just learned how to do cables, and I am loving this scarf I'm working on! It's called the Irish Hiking Scarf. I can't remember where the pattern came from at the moment, but it is a free pattern that someone sent me. I'll try to get a picture of it up later today.

Also, I went for a run again yesterday. Here's the log:

Friday, 20 Apr, 2007 Temp: 59.6	Running Training run	Opposite Beginning Route 0.16 miles 20:02 (2:05:12/mile)	Weight: 233 Saucony Grid Aura TR5 (0.3 miles)

First Run!

Hi all! I'm almost done with my first ever sock! It's very exciting. I will be excited to post a photo of it here when I finish it. I should be learning to do the toe tonight. We're also learning intarsia tonight, though, so hopefully I'll get the time to work on it! I've got to make sure I am to the point where I can just get there and get right to work on them.

Also, I went for my first run today! Here are the stats from my trip:
