Break at 5:30am

I am so glad I found out that the Olympus Masters are practicing at Granite.  It is a lot of fun and so much easier to get up for when you don't have to work afterwards.  Too bad the guy I was swimming with wasn't very pleasant.  But the coach is nice and he was talking about trying to host a master's swim meet!

Now for the rest of the day.
Matt sanded the back room and mudded the closet.  He is designing a built in corner cabinet this evening.  We are planning to do corner shelves above it.  It will look really amazing with the waines coting (not sure on the spelling).  I will try to get a picture of the room in progress. 

I found this really cool cube in my toy box (which will be repainted to fit the baby room decor).  It flips open to show different faces.  I want to add some pictures and am trying to decide what to do.  I thought about animals but I am already planning a floor quilt with that in mind.  I might go with a combination of numbers, shapes, and colors. 

That is all for now.

Swimming--even on Christmas Break!

I got up to swim this morning.  Practice was at 5:45 am.  Not too early since I am used to getting up for practice at Kearns.  I swam with the Olympus Masters.  They were nice.  There were only about 7 swimmers there. The coach had his beautiful German Shepherd on deck.  He was gorgeous!  And very well behaved.  

The workout went as follows:

Warm-up:

200 free

200 choice

2nd set:

6x100's @ 10 sec. rest (body rotation drills)

Main set:

~40x50's  the interval dropped 1 second per fifty.  I got to the 34th and stayed on the time.  I probably could have done more.  Not too shabby for an old, pregnant lady!

Cool-down:

100 choice

3,000 yds. total

I really enjoyed working out at the Granite High pool.  It is such a classic pool and the locker rooms are big.  Unfortunately the showers were freezing!  But then I conserve water and take a very short shower.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and merry Christmas!

Just about to quilt

I finally pinned the top of that quilt together.  I have not really found the time for any good crafting or sewing.  I guess I was a little to lazy (or sometimes busy).  I made a really awesome changing pad with my friend!  We had so much fun doing it.  I hope to get to sew with her again soon.

No pictures today.  I need to find a new place to do my sewing.  Matt is in there right now mudding and the room is no longer mine to use.  I will have a better use soon.
