Back To The Grind...

Hello Faithful Ones!

Oh, how I have missed you all!!! The season and Lent has passed and now that Easter Sunday has passed I will have much more time to spend with you all.

So to update you:

  • I did some knitting on my mom's shawl during our holiday...I'm STILL not finished. I thought I'd make it to at least the last ball of ribbon yarn. Sadly...no.
  • The weather during our holiday was abysmal. It was soooooo windy. And the wind was soooo cold! On a good note, we had a fun time at the waterpark where it was warm all the time.
  • I have been quite the little shutterbug lately. I have always loved photography! And I have been updating my Flickr account almost daily. Check me out at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/knitgirl/ There you can view my photos, my favourites, contacts, and groups that I belong to.
  • I am currently decluttering my home. It is a mess and I have so much crap I just keep moving it from one pile to the next and I clean around the piles and stacks of crap I have. And need I remind you all just how much I love housecleaning? So, I've decided we need to do a Clean Sweep and get organized! I'm getting rather tired of living in my untidy, messy, cluttered house.
  • I haven't been spinning lately. I have been trying to finish my mom's shawl before I tackle any other fibre related projects.
  • Note: I have deleted my weight loss blog. Why? Well, I figured I have been putting a lot of pressure on myself to lose so much every week rather than focusing on just being healthy. Making healthy food choices and moving my body more. So, rather than having that pressure hanging over my head, I'm deleting that blog. But for those keeping track, I've lost about 8 lbs since February.

Well, that's about it for now. I have to go finish washing dishes before CSI starts. Then tomorrow, it's back to decluttering...

Welcome back! Glad you had a nice holiday. I've been planning on decluttering for years now. At this point it might be easier to just detonate the place...

And congrats on the weight loss!! Being healthy is really the way to go. You'll be surprised at how quickly you see results once you let go of the whole "diet" thing.

Of course, I'm probably not one to talk after the black and white cookie weight gain of '07. ;)

I want to knit a shawl this year and you're intimidating me!

You know everyone's going to suggest Flylady for the clutter thing right? I've been on her list for years and I've only had a few moments where I "got it," but boy was it amazing. Less stuff, more free time, less cleaning. How the heck does that work? I don't know, but it does. I'm slowly working my way back there.

Congrats on your weight loss.

great job on the weight loss, and I love Flylady. When I can stick to her program, my house looks great. But sometimes I fall off the wagon, just like a diet!
