At least thte knitting works

Happily knitting away at the bamboo and tencel swatch / tank-top. Loving it more as it grows (though the two strands of yarn sometimes go their seperate ways and I need to tink back to re-unite them. couples counseling for fibers.)

Weight Watchers was a bit of a disapointment, though. I thought I had been good all week long. I really did. And I gained six tenths of a pound. I may need to eat more than I have since I have been running just at the bottom limit of my allowance, and my metabolism may be slowing to compensate. I'm what farmers call, "an easy keeper." I put on weight quickly on just about any kind of feed, and lose it very slowly. That which is good in a cow is not fashionable or even healthy in a matron.

But I have been GOOD! so I took myself to Joanne's to buy a fat quarter of fabric to cheer myself up. Only one, right? Maybe three dollars, max. Well, they're on sale for 99 cents each. So I got six. And I had to get a frame and a mat for a picture to send my MIL before Sunday. And some big bright buttons jumped into my bag (6 for only $2. That's a mere fifty cents a button!) And a magazine and some stickers slipped past my defenses as well. I have no self-control at all! (But it was fun!)


It's sunny today. Yeeeha! Here is my favorite viewL looking up through the leaves. I love the varied layers of greens. If I get enough chores done, I think I'll take the wheel outside for a spin in the shade this afternoon.

And I'll have weight loss next week. If I have to stand there stark nekkid, I will.
