I did a pullup, I did a pullup! I did a chinup too, actually. Yes.. one of each. Whatever though, I’m all proud of myself ^_^

Also, my awesome and sexy husband bought me a heart rate monitor (and yes, I do always post with some kind of praise for him when he lets me spend lots of money). It is a Polar F6, and I also ordered a spiffy sports bra and transmitter from NuMetrex so that I don’t have to wear a chest strap. I wonder how long it will take before he decides that he wants one, too. I suppose he probably won’t, since he never likes to spend money on himself.

Sosleepy. Honestly, I’ve been sleepy for like two weeks now. Dan and I started P90X on January 10th and I’ve been tired since then. The problem, I think, is more staying up too late than the working out. It feels like we have no time anymore. By the time we workout, cool down, eat dinner.. the day is almost over! We generally stay up fairly late anyway, but we’ve been staying up later lately (yes, I know saying later lately sounds stupid) and I’m.. so.. sleepy!

I should just take a nap, but once again it just feels like a waste of day. Not that I am really doing anything at the moment (aside from posting this blog and staring at my monitor), so I’m not sure what the opposition to napping is, exactly. I do have things that I could be doing..

I have a dress that I want to sew for Anya, but I need to go to JoAnn’s to get a zipper and some ribbon or edging. I could be painting some Warhammer figures, but I’ve decided that I’m only going to paint when Dan is home (I don’t want to keep hobby swapping.. so daytime is for sewing and Dantime is for painting).

Speaking of painting — I’m in the mood to paint some Sisters of Battle models. I stripped down my old ones (well, Dan did actually.. he says I am too delicate to touch paint thinner ^_-) and they’re just kind of.. staring.. at me right now. I have absolutely no idea how I want to paint them. Everyone and their mother paints red / black / white for SoBs and I don’t really feel like going with any of the color schemes in the book. I’d kind of like to do red and gold, but gold power armor (and gold tanks QQ) would just be AHHHH. I could paint red power armor (and, thusly, tanks) but then where does the gold fit in? I don’t want to give them cloth of gold habits or anything. I suppose they could have red armor, white habits and gold accents (gold inferno pistol? LOL).

Sigh.. hopefully something will come to me when I break out the paints. Maybe I’ll just paint them pink -.- And use a fluffy bunny as their Order symbol. Ordo Lepus or something.

I seem to say this quite often, but it has been a long time since I blogged here! Rattributes and Sewpbox have been more active, but Exquisite Turmoil has been down-right neglected! Spring is in the air (not really, but hey — we’ve got the air conditioner blowing) so looks like it is time for a change!

I’ve got a new theme up (I’ve been taken with this style of drawing lately, as seen by Sewpbox’s theme) and I’ll be starting up the blog again! Not sure why, exactly, I need three blogs.. but I have them anyway. Rattributes is obviously for all things rat. Sewpbox is for my sewing projects and will soon also be housing knitted items as well. I may just make Sewpbox my “domestic” blog (sewing, knitting, embroidery, possibly cooking) and keep Exquisite Turmoil as a personal blog.

Only time shall tell.
