I should have spent the weekend working on my blue dress. Instead I frittered it all away. I was still productive.. but not at that thing which is most needed to be done. Saturday I rolled the top edge of the skirt (1/2″ hem) and attached the cheater strip. Then I decided to go out to the garage to see…

April Goals and Progress
2011 Goals: Sew one new thing a month – Hrm.. I totally fell down on the job on this this month. I’ve been busy busy busy and haven’t sewn a dang thing. The closest I got was doing some work to finish off the lapels and buttons on my wool coat. Read a book a month – Finished Tess of…

Blood of an Athlete!
I got a call this morning from the Blood Center. The guy asked if everything was all right since they hadn’t heard from me in a while. I told him that at some point last year they stopped calling me.. so I stopped coming in :D. He apologized and asked if I could come in to give blood. Today is…

“Finally decided”
I keep wanting to say “I finally decided I was tired of being fat” but that’s not totally true.. I decided I was tired of being fat a long time ago. When I was size 18 in college. When I couldn’t put the tray table down on the airplane flight. When I had to ask for a seat belt extender…
Daily Blahg
I think I have problems daily bogging here because I have so much to say and so many topics to talk about that I’m just stumped about where to start. I’m not a nutritianist or a doctor so I hate to start posting health facts that someone else might see and take as gospel.. but still.. I’m reading things that…
2010 Recap and January Goals
