Welcome to Wisconsin, Purl! I love it here. I hope you enjoy your stay. Just don't get carried away by the mosquitos!
I am doing better with my food today. I'm going to go for a walk this evening if it's not raining. How's everyone else doing? Cindy, how is your day going?

Pam, much better day for me. I started out with oatmeal for breakfast, that often helps me have a better day. Maybe I can get some momentum going here. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.
Helps that I'm giving myself a quilt day, too!

You have to read today's blog by Bonnie Hunter: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2014/...-dogs-day.html. She's talking about the mystery quilt - last year's Celtic Solstice and this coming year's which she promises will be easier.
This is such a coincidence since we were just talking about the mystery quilt.

Oh that Bonnie! She really gets me motivated. I think I will jump in and do her mystery this winter. I went through my stash plus bought several pieces to be ready for Easy Street and even printed out the instructions but I just never got it started. Last winter I couldn't even think about it. This winter I will do it! If it's easy enough for a beginner I should be able to handle it! LOL

Ok, here's how my evening went. I went out for dinner with a group of friends. One woman was buying for everyone because she doesn't like to host a meeting at her house. I ordered a fish sandwich. I would have preferred to order the shrimp because it is a healthier choice but it cost a lot more so I didn't want to do that to my friend. The sandwich was delicious and huge! I really, really wish I had shared the sandwich with my daughter but I didn't realize it would be 2 filets on a big bun. I knew it would not be good leftover so I ate the whole thing (plus some sweet potato fries). I came home full and satisfied. My hubby went in the kitchen and got a big bowl of ice cream and sat in front of me to eat it. This is my favorite kind of ice cream and he doesn't even really like it. So then I have to have a bowl of it even though I am not hungry at all. At least I do use a very small berry bowl as my ice cream bowl. I don't know if it comes from growing up in a large family that I feel like I have to have my share or what. Does anyone else act like this?

I most definitely have, Pam. More times than I'd like to think about, especially with any sweets but most of all ice cream!! I hope I'm back on track now, though. Yesterday was a good start, beginning with the oatmeal. During the day yesterday when I was going to eat I asked myself, do I need this? Am I really hungry (and stopped to think about that a minute)? Smaller portions, don't eat too much, don't eat too much, don't eat too much. I have terrible indigestion and even just one or two days of eating better helps so already today I'm feeling better. My goal today is a repeat of yesterday and hopefully I'll get some momentum going here. We can do this!!!

I didn't realize those houses were so tiny. They are so cute. You made 100 of them? Wow!
This little girl frustrates me so much! She is 17 mo old now. It is so difficult to get her to take a nap. She can make herself vomit so I can't just lay her down and let her cry. She won't even let me rock her anymore. When she realizes I want her to take a nap she starts gagging. If my car wasn't blocked in by constructions workers I would take her for a drive. Have you ever heard of a bulimic baby? I sure hadn't.

I thought this was going to be a nice calm week. My last week off before school starts. I was going to get tons of sewing accomplished. HA was I ever wrong. It has turned into a crazy week. I have an elderly uncle who has peripherial neuroprathy. (can't spell it) He lives alone and has no business doing it. We and his dr convinced him to do some PT. He is so slow to decide to do anything. Makes me want to scream. We convinced him to get life alert. I set it up for him yesterday and discussed and practice using it. We discussed when and where to carry it. He said OK. As I was getting ready to leave he put it back in the box and closed it. So stubborn and resistant to change.
Also had to do some things with my mom and DH. I had a dr appt today, haircut, went to the grocery made 12 qts of salsa and took my uncle to PT. She kinda told him he needs to start doing some things if he wants to stay independant. He was in tears. SOmething he needed to hear. So we had to go out for ice cream afterwards. I just ate dinner and I want ice cream again. GRRRRR! this has got to stop.
