I would definitely vote for batiks again!!!

Batiks again for sure - it certainly generated a lot of interest and in my case, was a good motivator whether I won or not.

I am in again.

Im In for August. I love batiks and they are a great motivator.

I'm in again. You have my FQ. Looking forward to a better month. I was only down 2 lbs. in July. At least I was down.

I'm in again. This month I'm looking for onderland (under that 200# mark). I'm excited! I've done very well since joining all of you. You have been a great encourager to me.

Woohoo countrymaid! I'm on track to reach onderland before my birthday in Oct...wouldn't that just be the greatest gift to myself?... Well, except for fabric maybe

Yeah, I'm back in. My computer has been on and off and on again. We were struck by lightning last week - took out the phone (it's still not back up), the TV (a new expensive one is in the house, now - on its own surge protector, thank you) and the wireless router for the computer. The company has been having some troubles with the poles and transcievers themselves, so that's the on/off again nonsense here. I'm ready to demand a free month from them. Just got back from the grocery - company tonight, but it's roast with au jus gravy and veggies. I did buy an apple pie for dessert, but won't eat a big piece - apple pie is not my favorite, so no real problem. I did lose in July, but probably not enough for the batiks (sob, sob).
This week, I am going to spend one or two days doing nothing but cutting. I'll have the projects in boxes ready to go when I'm ready to go. Have one or two that are really on the top of my list, these new ones will be sitting for a bit, I'm afraid, but they'll be cut. GOtta go. Since the computer is up, need to check my bank account - bill pay and the like before I lose the internet again. Eat healthy everyone and I've got a great one for Tuesday's tip.

I am hoping to hit wonderland soon myself. Hope to be there by my birthday in September. I should be there by now but I can't behave myself. I am going to Myrtle beach later this month. Hopefully I won't be as bad as I was in Hilton head.
