Well, I missed 4 days and had another 30 posts to read. I tried but will have to try again later. I'm going to finish handquilting a queen size quilt this week. And I already started piecing another for when I'm done. Giving the queen to my mom for her birthday. Keeping the next one. Then I have to start quilts for three of the grandsons. All requested one for Christmas with an animal theme, a deer, a bear, and a wolf. Found fabric for all three online. I love ebay.

Didn't post my weight Monday but I did weigh and I was up 1.3 pounds. I bet it was the fish fry on Friday night at church. I ate like a pig. Catfish, slaw, fries, fried okra, hushpuppies, and chocolate pie. I probably got enough fat grams for the whole month in that one meal. It's not fair that you have to be good for 40 meals to lose a pound but one meal will put it all back on.

I read where some of you were sick and some were doing the happy dance and some lost and some gained and the world goes round and round. Hope everyone is over whatever plagued them and the losers keep losing and the gainers stop gaining. Including me. I am so mad. But I won't deny it was great fun having a meal with friends.

My BFF is getting ready for lapband. She has started the pre-diet and the counseling. She weighs 469 pounds. Pray for her. I fear that if she doesn't get some of that off she will die. And BFF's are so hard to find.

I am sick of working and want to quit. Working really cuts into my quilting time, my online time, my shopping for fabric time... Just as soon as my ship comes in I'm outta there...

Soda update! Read an article in one of my nursing mags about the relationship between diet soda increased risks of stroke and heart attack. Rates go up like 50%. It is the aspartame that causes it. So another reason for stopping the diet soda. And diabetes stops me drinking the full sugar kind. So no more soda... (crying) I have to watch those water thingies too. Most of the crystal lights and the other brands have aspartame. Although I noticed a few crystal light flavors are using something else now, thank goodness.

I think this catches me up. lol And thanks to all who have sent me FQs. I have already cut up all but two for the new quilt I'm making for me. It's scrappy...I'll post a pic when I get it together.

hugs and kisses
