Cattle scale time with a scary picture


Yes, it is that time........now before "we" all go crazy....remember I missed last Wednesday....side tracked to see thee creative child hard at work! (Miss you my baby...lots....you bring such pleasure to our life.....yes you do!) Sorry, I digress.....OK... OK ...poundage off.... 3 pounds....but divided by 2 and yep...1.5 pounds each week. Sick puppy I am! So, I have lost 15 pounds and want to lose another 10 by the end of May....lets us all bow our head and pray now...pray real hard...yes sir....I'll need it!

No we did not...









Get our fatty poundage weight for this week! The reason....simple...we went to see #2 child and I took pictures of her art studio. She wants to be a illustrator for books and such....any one out in the blog land have any connections? The market is not so great right now!

The dawling cheated on this trip.....regarding food....I tried very hard....we even did a jog/walk for 2.5 miles......the dawling would jog around me and I wanted to slap him....... I think Tuesday night I went over my points by 2 and Wednesday by 1...for me that probably means a gain or the status....lets hold our collective breath for next cattle scale! So, maybe I'll do a colonic cleanse? (Hey, it might work?...or maybe not?) In the meantime I must clean said house and get ready for work...always fun to go back to work................................

Tweets and such


OK, this person just registered for the tweet thing. Let us pray as I have not a clue what the heck I'm doing!!!!! All to "win" some fabric.......like I don't have enough! Although I would like to win something other than a toilet! Yes, years ago I was putting self through college and this new supply store place was opening up.......so "they" were giving away a trip for two to Hawaii. Me being me filled out four thousand and one entries...got a phone call from "the store" I had won "something"......knew it was the trip...just knew it!!! Yep....won me a damn toilet!

Oh, must add...beat the dawling again in the weight loss! me thinks he cheats!

Road trip to see the daughter...picture of #2 and #4


This Sunday we (meaning self and the dawling) are going on a short road trip to visit #2 child. It will be bittersweet. This is her last year at Bard College. My little "merry go- go round girl" will hit the real world. Not a great job environment out there with the"English". I think she will do OK...she is a fighter like her MaMa. Her older brother is 33 and having a very hard time....he doesn't seem to do well with the "English" at all. He is home with us.....and with that tiny bit of insight the conversation ends......

We....meaning me....(as the dawling does not want to upset the wrath of the me).....as I may make him go down "memory lane" ...he hates going down that path....back to the story...we are going to take a side trip here.

I have a small worry.....PLEASE DON'T LET ME GAIN ANY WEIGHT!!!!! I feel better now.......................

Till Wednesday evening....next cattle scale weigh in...........

Update on the Depression quilt pattern for #2 child



I have 5 blocks in length and 5 across...lots of cutting and sewing but I am enjoying this! So far two strips of the 5 blocks are made..each block has 16 squares in them. I am thinking a piano border?

The big weight loss is...


OK, I lost...ready...no shocks...yes... another 1.2 pounds.......It is a loss and so far every week since the first week of January... (when I started down this road) I have lost....for that.... I am happy BUT at the rate I am going.....I will be dead in the ground...so to speak! I am at least back up to 2 miles per day in my waddle walk....got to get back to 6 miles per day.......On a side note...I beat the dawling this week.......he only lost .4 pounds!

pictures and memory lane


I found an old picture of my #2 and #3 child.....my #4 child was cooking in thee belly and #1 child was in school.....seems like years ago! I loved this picture....unfortunately the daughter was clenching her fist or holding something in her hand......I got the picture but kept it in my picture drawer.........until NOW....I cropped the hand out...but love looking at those sweet faces. They were 4 and 3 years old at the time.

Cattle scale time


Not a good number, depressing actually, still kept the jacket on...drum roll........a small loss of (.2pounds) Give me a break!!! Really, really, big peoples are knocking the pounds off....peoples slightly fluffy, are knocking the poundage off...3 and 4 pounds! What I find interesting...our fine leader...always tells me ".5 to 2 pounds is what one should lose" what I have picked up on.... nothing is said to the 3 and up poundage lost peoples.....our leader says to yours truly.... if the peoples lose more than 2 pounds per week "we talk to them".....OK.... lets kick these over the limit poundage loser peoples out!!!!! Amen! Damn, damn poundage loser people!
