Dropping fat quarter in the mail tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Had a little health scare but I'm fine now. I have a blood disorder that causes me to develope blood clots. Haven't had one in 3 years (knock on wood). That one was my first and landed me in the hospital for 10 days. That's when they found out I had this blood disorder. Anyway, I know what to look for now and I had a pain in my lower left leg with redness and warmth and what I thought could be a lump. Ended up at the vascular doc and they checked me out. I'm fine. Apparently I hit it some how and it's just a bruise. That was GREAT news.

As for the weight loss, I'm battling it. I want to lose it so hubby will quit smoking. That's our deal now. If I lose 50lbs he'll quit smoking. It's hard, but I'm fighting it. My new thing is to get up on my days off, do my chores and head to the basement. It's the farthest room from food, and it's where I quilt. I'm actually getting some projects done. I take a huge bottle of water with me and since there's now bathroom down there I get to do stair climbing without a machine every time I have to go to the bathroom.

Anyway, I'm going back to the basement for a couple hours now. I work in the AM, and 4AM comes early. This is my weekend to work so I'll be there through Sunday. Then a couple days off, then back. Going to VA next weekend to visit a fellow quilter. Should be fun, I'm really looking forward to it......alright, gotta go!!!!
