...borrowing Mr. WhiMSy love's laptop & watching Project Runway on You Tube. I don't know who you are vi2mic, but I love you for organizing my all-time favorite show into easily watchable episodes. You pretty much rock.
...knitting. I'm working on a Christmas prezzie scarf right now in the raspberry stitch & it's really slow-going, but it's so much fun to work at it bit by bit & watch it transform before my eyes.
...breakfasts of tomato juice. And rice cakes. Or yogurt with granola.
...my Friday morning weigh-in's. Don't know if I've even shared this with my blog readers, but for the last 3 months, I've been working on achieving a more healthy lifestyle---as in eating more healthy & losing some weight. I'm not on a "diet" per se, but simply watching my portions & giving up more sweets (not ALL sweets) & carbs (not ALL carbs). Eating more veggies & fruits too. I'm not being so hard on my self. Just realistic. I facebook during the week with my mom & best friend Tia. We encourage each other, etc. & then weigh-in every Friday. I have lost 17 pounds thus far! I've got a long way to go, but couldn't be happier at my progress. Now if only I could get motivated to exercise, I'd be a rockstar in NO time...
...gearing up for a mini family vacay to Denver next week. (We need a break, & we've never been to Denver!) It's in correlation with Zoey's birthday. The girls will miss a day, maybe 2, of school. (*gasp!*) It's all part of our plan to do more family stuff together & create memories for birthdays, rather than spending money on parties & prezzies all the time. It'll be a bit of a shock to the party-planning part of my brain, but I think it'll be a wonderful change of pace & I CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO DENVER!!
...all the planning going on for September Crafty Night. I'll be making a big ole crockpot of corn chowder for Crafty Night dinner. And the craft we're making involves concocting a yummy drink mix, perfect for fall weather. The embellishments & materials I've got for packaging them up as gifts include autumn paper die-cuts & brown felt & ribbons striped in warm colors. I'm hoping to light yummy fall scented candles & decorate as much as I can-- with what little time I have!
...reading the Little House on the Prairie series to the girls. We finished book #2 last night.
...simplifying my life. It's a ponderous process, a necessary one. And I'm loving it.

Love the socks.
ReplyDeleteI think your realistic approach will be much more successful (and 17 pounds later, sounds like it's working well!)
Congrats on the weight loss!
