Oh, Crap!

It's Friday, my self-appointed weigh-in day, and I forgot to hop on the scale first thing this morning. Four hours later, I jumped on. The bad news is that the scale says the same thing it did last Friday. The good news is that this was after two mugs of coffee and a Transitions Shake. I vow that I'm going to stay off that scale until next Friday, so there will be no chubby updates until them. Notice I'm not as brave as my sister in declaring my weight for all the world to read! I'll just let you know when I've reached my goal, far away as it is. When I do, I think I'll get a wagon full of chicken fat, just like Oprah. Hopefully, I'll keep it off, unlike Oprah!

I've been busy sewing a Nappy Bag, complete with changing mat and mat bag for a friend. It's an Amy Butler pattern, and I was planning to use Amy fabric, but I fell for some coordinating Michael Miller prints.

I'm still working on the Hey, Teach sweater and will be starting a prayer shawl for a co-worker at the hospital. Sewing is currently a dress for Elder Dear Daughter in a black stretch twill with a dusty peach pinstripe.

We have a new friend here in Toledo - Goomba the Roomba. Goomba arrived on my doorstep yesterday, and I already don't know how I lived without him. The dogs wanted to eat poor Goomba up the minute he cycled on and started dirt sucking. The cat is just beginning to realize that there's some playmate potential in Goomba, unlike the dogs who just want to get crazy with poor old Natty-cat. Goomba is currently enjoying the upstairs hall and a bedroom. It's wonderful that I can now knit and vacuum the house at the same time. This is much safer than knitting and driving!
