" I just couldn't quite see the reasoning behind everything"--personally I think that that is not you, it is the teacher. I used to feel the same way when I first started working in the NICU. Then I realized that the reason I couldn't understand was that the people who were explaining the equipment to me didn't actually understand HOW it worked, they were just telling me WHAT to do with it. You sound like me, its important to understand the reason to retain information. well, that probably doesn't make sense...<br /><br />I really like the running store shirt. And I'm glad you got a white shirt to go with your outfit. Creamcicle sounds so much better than Halloween to me.debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-29190673132648315812012-03-09T07:21:57.601-06:002012-03-09T07:21:57.601-06:00I've seen the circular needles now you've ...I've seen the circular needles now you've shown them but never used them myself. What is funny is that we're working with almost the same yellow color :) <br /><br />I have tried the coconut water but it wasn't that spectacular for me. Runs up to 45 minutes I don't even bring water, around an hour I only bring water and runs longer than an hour I use water and sports drink (the ones you mix yourself with water).<br /><br />We don't have a running store either but there are 2 good ones about a 15 minute drive away, so not too far away for me. But I only go there for shoes, I buy my clothes online because it's much cheaper that way. <br /><br />Have fun at your run tomorrow.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-11850248569622019842012-03-09T07:17:34.718-06:002012-03-09T07:17:34.718-06:00I teared up seeing you cross the finish line.

A combo of such joy for you and some of my own complicated feelings about me, but you know those.<br />As for the knitting, you are just so funny 'offensive'. I had a 16 yr. old client yesterday talking about knitting, doing it in the car, nonetheless, said she did get a headache after a while, I can't even look at a map in the car, she said she wanted to learn to knit and her mom got her one of those Klutz book/kits. I don't know if you know those, they are very "girly" and are marketed to tween girls for crafty things. I so thought about you and pictured you in the little girl aisle looking for a Klutz book. Knitting is on my bucket list one day, I am SURE I wont' do it with Shelley gusto, but I don't do anything with Shelley gusto!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-2321098966568380172012-03-09T07:10:40.086-06:002012-03-09T07:10:40.086-06:00I wish it would rain here here in the desert.
