the one where I talk about nothing.

Not too much going on here that's newsworthy.  Same old same old. :)

I finished a baby quilt for a friend of mine, and I have yet to mail it. I need to take some photos then send it off.  I also whipped together a quilt top that I'm planning on donating to J's school fundraiser in April.  I just have to pick a backing fabric and then I can quilt it up.  I did a plus quilt design. So easy and yet so cute. I did use almost all scrap fabric on that top. I just had to buy 1/3 of a yard of KONA Olive cotton to finish it. Which really isn't so bad. I've also picked up a few bits and pieces off the sale table at work. But, I have a whole baby quilt out! So I think I'm still even-ish.

As far as yarn goes, I had a couple of older yarn destashs pop up, so that's 10 skeins out! (2 destashes, 5 each) I haven't bought yarn, or finished anything since my last post.

Old Yarn Total  -24
Destash - 10
New Total -34

I decided instead of holding onto the money, which is too easily spent in my paypal account, I'd send it off to a credit card bill this month. yea! Now I'm making that total shrink too.

I'm also working on shrinking my waistline.  To be completely honest, I've put on some weight this past year, and it's making me unhappy.  I found out after a trip to the doctor that I weight the same now as when I was 9 months pregnant with my son. So not cool.  A friend told me about the app My Fitness Pal, and I'm going to track what I eat and when I exercise.  It's helped with yarn, why not my weight?  I think just knowing the amount of calories I'm ingesting will help me think about things a little more.  Like this morning, they were giving away donuts at J's school. I grabbed one, and took a bite.  Well, it was a  plain, dry, cake donut. Not yummy at all. In the past I would have just eaten it. But today I thought, "It's not worth the calories". And tossed it aside. I'm counting it as a win! Ive also tried to cut down on my Mt dew intake.  I had one yesterday, and one today. The only reason I've had one today is the headache! ugh!  But I waited until after lunch to have one, so that's rather good for me.

Yea. I got a whole lot of nothing exciting. Sorry guys. :) I work tonight, so I best go and get ready.
