I woke up this morning with the hope that I would have a more productive day than I did yesterday, which really wasn't a tall order by any means. As long as I managed to shower before 7pm, it was going to be a far more productive day than Saturday was. Since I missed my Zumba class yesterday morning, I was determined to make it to at least one Cardio Funk class today. And I did! It wasn't until 1pm, so I wasn't asking a lot of myself to manage to get up and make it to class on time. I did, however, actually have a partner in crime this morning. One of our camera guys Chris ended up meeting me there. It was his first time ever going to the class, so not only did I get a good workout but I had a good laugh at Chris trying to master the moves. He was a good sport about it all though and promises me he will attend another class with me. When I first started Zumba I was told to give it three classes before you give up on it, and I have to agree with that. It takes about three classes before you start to get the hang of it and learn some of the moves. Until then you just feel like you are bouncing wildly around not making any rhythmic sense.
Afterwards, I showered and went over to my friend Jen's house. Jen had invited me and some other girls from work over for a Stitch and Bitch session. Yes, the idea was to knit or crochet and gossip and/or bitch about whatever. We did a little stitching (some more than others), very little bitching, but a whole lot of eating. There ended up being six of us girls total although they all ended up coming at different times. To begin with it was just Jen, Tiffany, Lucy and myself. Tiffany proved to be the expert of the group. She rolled out her pouch of knitting needles as a chef would his knives and quickly went to work. Tiffany decided she would knit something easy like a swiffer cover so she could help teach whoever needed her help. Jen and I just looked curiously at her and asked, "a swiffer cover?" Yep. Tiffany makes her own reusable swiffer covers for the ever popular Swiffer mop. Who would have thought of such a thing? Makes total sense to me now. Simply knit, hook on, sweep and then throw in the washer. Brilliant. Before today I didn't know Tiffany very well as she works in the art department office doing graphics and is never on set. But I have since realized that not only is she pretty darn cool, she is very crafty and talented. Not only was she teaching everyone to knit and crochet, but she also came prepared with food she had made for the event - sausage balls and crab dip.
In addition to Tiffany's fares, Jen also supplied us with Cheeze Kurls straight from Michigan and cupcakes. After partaking in it all, I was certainly glad I made it to Cardio Funk class beforehand. I had intended on going to the 5:30pm class of Cardio Funk as well, but I ended up at Jen's until nearly 7pm. It was well worth missing class for though as I had some really good laughs, good food, good company and I did some knitting. While I was pregnant with Nolan, I had started knitting a blue baby blanket. I had managed to do quite a good bit of it before Nolan passed away, but I never could bring myself to pick it up and finish it. Ironically, I had brought the blanket and the knitting with me to Charlotte. I don't know why exactly, but I guess I was hoping that eventually I would feel like knitting again and take it back up. Until today, I never felt like picking the baby blanket back up. I was really glad Jen invited me over to her Stitch and Bitch for it got me knitting again. If this pregnancy goes well, maybe by the end of it I will have a baby blue blanket knitted for our baby - boy or girl. If it ends up being a girl, hopefully I can figure out how to add a pink edge to the blanket.
