The day is already dark and gloomy and we have seen a few raindrops as we anticipate tropical storm conditions tomorrow. It will likely just sit over this area the next few days and rain, rain, rain, so they say. I can't go to the gym tomorrow as I have to get to the post office after work, so I will need to do a dvd or something to get going on my miles for my challenge. Wednesday I work a double shift.. I wonder if I could talk myself into arriving at the gym at 6 am to get my workout in? My husband would decide I am nuts.. but I think I will try.

I was excited to get into the cream dress Sunday! The tag says 16 but I am not claiming 16 by a long shot. I am still muffin-topping the 18 jeans even though I can zip them without laying down.. so I cannot claim 16! That day will come. But when I took my measurements the other day, I got a shock. The 3 inches in my hips did not surprise me, but the 5 in my waist definitely did. I would have guessed 3 there as well.

Today I trimmed up and packaged a bunch of blocks for a swap with my quilt group. I spent some time teaching my daughter and her friend to seam and make coasters, too, gotta bring along the next generation you know!
