Good morning! Another pathetic week for me. I have my list of excuses, as usual, but to say it outright, this week was a bust. Now, in my defense, I made efforts to eat healthy. Like, on the drive down to Oregon and back, I made sure to pack healthy food and snacks as opposed to fast-food-gut-bombing-it. I was so glad I did. No exercise occurred, however. And I am menstruating, which has to count for something! (I told you all I wasn’t pregnant).

This week! This week will be better! I’m going to do mahhhhhhvelous THIS week! I swear. I realize I’m going to have to prove it to you, because you’ve heard this before, and I will.

I’m still 218.5, which can only mean I’m losing muscle mass. But I can fix this.

How was your week?

And thank you all for the info on the parsnip yesterday! I had no idea it would be such a popular topic. I enjoyed reading all of your emails and comments. Thanks!

A friend of mine gets a box of Organic produce every week, and since she’s been out of town, she gave her week’s allotment to me. I have two bags of these, and I have no idea what they are. I thought they might be pale carrots, but I don’t think so. I’ve bitten the tip off of one, and it tasted sort of like a carrot. If anyone could help me, and while you’re at it, tell me what in the heck I’m supposed to do with them, I’d appreciate it.

(As I’m looking at the picture, it looks like a stubby carrot. In person, it’s incredibly pale. I’d say it’s tan. and they’re really short and stubby).

Today is Hayden-along day. Anyone have anything? Vampy has made a really nice swatch. As for other knit-along news… I don’t know what in the world I’m going to knit Cable-Eight with. I think I’m going to surf for Aspen right now.

Oh, and one more thing… I was going to post a picture of my sock progress, but I can’t for the life of me get Photoshop to save the file for web. I cropped, resized, (adjusted contrast), and the dumb thing won’t save to a .gif. I’ll keep trying.
