Finished:
Teacher's Gift Calm Cowl
In Progress: The OHM Shawl by Michelle Miller. It bit me. In time out.
Tutorial for the After-Thought Heel is here.

Dizzy Blondes:
Nothing here this week. Nope. No spinning...
Gourmet Stash. Holy spit! Look at her shop! Go spin a puni on your drop spindle. Someone who really gets drop spindling!
Bourbon Barrel Cake Sock Yarn:
Strategy:
Mindful eating: Track your intake.
1. Counting calories is the easiest way.
2. Keeo measuring cups and spoons next to your cooking area and use them to track how much you use to cook.
Eat small forkfuls and finish one forkful and swallow before you put the next in your mouth. It's that easy!
Harvard Study on Effects of 8 Weeks of Meditation on the Human Brain.
Study of Oxygen Efficiency in Older Adults Who Jog.
Put a Lid On It:
Whenever you roast a bird, chop extra onion and celery while you are making your stuffing. Set the extra aside in the fridge.
After you finish enjoying your meal, strip the large bits of meat off your carcass. Don't strip it too clean; small bits left on will be flavoring.
Place carcass into crock pot on high with the extra onion and celery you previously set aside.
Add bay leaf as well.
Fill with water and let cook at least overnight; 24 hours max.
Strain through cheesecloth and you have lovely broth!
Aw Shoot!
A bit more about the Hero's Challenge Run for Troop 139 of the local Boy Scouts.
Lunging Roxy and voice training her.

Additionally, K8erpillar has offered the winner's choice of a set of stitch markers from her lovely Etsy shop.
Something I Really Like:
The Pebble Basic watch.
This baby REALLY shines when you use it with a Run tracker, such as Runtastic or RunKeeper, and with its built-in alarms for meditation timing.
Blather:
Pretty much covered in the other segments!
A bit on how to work on your running distance and speed.

Gemma, I sincerely hope Camp Cog NC becomes a reality. Got tons of fibers and supplies, even a barely broken in wheel - just need some community to get moving forward...
