A Few Final Things in 2011

2011....the year in review, coming soon. Next post. I can say, though, that I think I have almost completed my transition from soccer player to triathlete. Not that I won't always think soccer is the greatest game in the world, because it is. But just that my spirit is LOVING triathlon. 2011 was a great year for me in this sport. I am no longer a transitioning soccer player, or even a transitioning runner. I am a triathlete. And that rocks.

In 2008, I started a quilt with all of my old soccer jerseys and t-shirts (at least the ones I could still find). And, those of you that know me know I am not even remotely crafty or domesticated. I never did finish that dern thing. But, here we come, 2012, and I am now truly a has-been soccer player, and the quilt has to be finished so I can snuggle up under it and dream about great games, killer tackles, and good goals. In my memory, I always killing it. ;)

One piece at a time....this stuff takes forever. I couldn't just do a small quilt, I had to design a huge queen sized quilt. Go big or go home, that is what I say. Must. stay. motivated.

And, I might have knocked off weight lifting today to bring an addition into our already full house. (Sorry coach! Remind me of this when I complain about not having enough muscle). This kitten has been sitting at Dave's office and meowing through the door. I told him that the cat had come to him for a reason and he better help her.

So, now we have a new kitty: ear mites, fleas, and all. She is maybe 5-6 months old is my guess. There goes all of my fun money to the vet. No name yet.
I have decided that I am not a crazy animal person. I am a super awesome person that thinks it is a good thing to help animals when I can, because I care about life, and I think this world is bigger than just myself.
Now it is time for that cosmopolitan...to prepare me for my ride tomorrow. It has been a goooooooood day.
