  • you and this kid would be goin' at it all day

  • I lost 9 pounds in January.
  • Not too shabby
  • For someone who conveniently forgets to count Tootsie Roll points
  • I am even more happy I was able to lose weight in a month with 2 birthday cake and ice cream events
  • And a book club meeting where we drink lots of wine
  • And the hostess is a fabulous cook who also loves to bake.
  • One of those birthdays was my youngest turning 2.
  • Two.
  • To.

  • So did I mention yet that I started Weight Watchers?
  • No, didn't think so.
  • Well, I did.
  • Two weeks ago.
  • I've lost 6 pounds so far.
  • About the weight of my foot.
  • The left, not the right.
  • I have been a Whale - I mean, Weight Watcher several times before.
  • Didn't stick.
  • It was the points.
  • Well, really it was having to count them.
  • Drove.Me.Crazy.
  • And it still kinda does.
  • But after you've done Fat Free,
  • Carb-Free
  • High Protein
  • Paleo
  • South Beach
  • Jenny "break-the-bank-each-week-on-the-frozen-food" Craig
  • Nutri "break-your-teeth-on-the-cardboard-food" System
  • Colon Cleanse
  • Liquid
  • LA Weightloss
  • Remember them?
  • ..and every other cockamamy diet there is
  • You have to decide when enough is enough.
  • Right?
  • You have to look at yourself in the mirror
  • (whether you want to or not)
  • And say,

  • Bringing back my Thursday Thoughts posts
  • What do you "think" about that?
  • Ha Ha
  • So Congress avoided the Fiscal Cliff
  • A day late
  • Really?
  • We make our kids turn their homework in on time
  • How come they couldn't?
  • I basically ignore most political back-and-forthness
  • Because it's just too tiring to listen to it
  • I'd much rather listen to audiobooks and podcasts to tune them out
  • A new sewing podcast I've been listening to is Enchanted By Sewing
  • It's very garment-making heavy, but she discusses the history of sewing too
  • She sings opera too
  • But she's inspired me

  • I think I broke my toe last weekend.
  • Walking around the house barefoot.
  • In a house with 2 little ones who stomp through life dropping everything in their path,
  • It was inevitable.
  • Sam was briefly concerned for my poor toe, but that concern quickly turned to excitement.
  • Finally, finally she had a real live "patient" on her hands and could practice her Doc McStuffins routine on me.
  • I think she was disgruntled that her live patient was so squeamish to have a

My 7 Dirty Quilting Secrets. What Are Yours?

Note: this post has a little bit of "off-color" language in it. Sorry if this offends anyone who regularly reads my blog, but this particular post is one where I just sat down, started typing the way I speak when I'm on an unfiltered roll about something, and a personal "dirty secret" is I curse. Mainly the word shit because it's my favorite...a curse word that's a verb, noun, and I think I've even used it as an adjective now and again. I love me a versatile curse word. In adult

  • I have been quilting every night this week.
  • I know, it's an honest-to-goodness Easter Miracle.
  • Including a big bunny hopping around my sewing room.
  • But that may have just been Sam dressed up in an old princess costume with some bunny ears her Nana gave her last weekend.
  • These things don't faze me anymore.
  • It's probably sacrilegious to say it but my favorite part of Easter is that it means you can buy Reese's Peanut Butter Cup eggs.
  • Forget those circle 2-packs, the egg is where it's at.
  • I may or may not have had 4 (OK five) of them so far.
  • Since Wednesday.
  • I stopped

  • It's been a tough week in the neighborhood.
  • Madeline started daycare on Monday.
  • When we dropped her off, I fought the urge to grab her and run for the door.
  • The temptation of all the toys was so strong, she could barely be bothered to say goodbye.
  • I called in the afternoon to see how she was doing.
  • Could hear her crying in the background.
  • It's true when they say a Mom can recognize her kids cry.
  • Was told she was "having a little trouble taking a nap."
  • Wanted to stab myself with a rusty butter knife, but knew she would fall asleep
