Entering Spring Life

Wow! It's been awhile since I've been on here (she says with a hint of sarcasm). Life sure moves quickly when you're not paying attention. I've just finished up the MAY DAY TUSSIE MUSSIE SWAP put on by Linda at A SWAP FOR ALL SEASONS. My partner was Wendy in MD and my package was too awesome :) Starbucks coffee, a new notebook, candles, necklace...oh I was spoiled indeed. Just look at that lovely tussie mussie she made!

Thank you SSSOOOOO much Wendy, you were a fantastic partner! Here is a peek at what I sent her:


Today, I am going to take Naomi to her first theater movie! We will be seeing "How to Train Your Dragon" since she enjoys a good dragon as much as I do. She doesn't exactly get what "going to a movie" is since she's never done it before, but I'm sure she'll be even more excited once we get there.

I've entered into a contest at work called FAT KILLERS. Basically there are 12 of us that are in a contest to see who can loose the greatest % of body weight in 3 months. It began April 1, but since I was out of town I weighed in on the 28th of March. So far I've lost 4.6 lbs. I'm not sure how I rank along my contenders since the guy running the thing hasn't posted the first weigh-in results, but I feel good. There was a $15 entry fee & the winner takes all. That's $180, I sure could use that to help get a sewing machine. I've been interested in learning to make little project bags for myself and friends, but without a sewing machine, its just a fantasy. Anyway, Naomi saw me doing sit ups one day and wanted to try too. Look at her go!


Well, that's about all. Most of my classes only have a few weeks left and I'm NOT taking summer classes this year. I'm planning on relaxing and knitting the next few months away at home, Yellowstone, OBX and wherever else I happen to land :)
