Boy Least Likely To

I found this band that I'm having fun with now. Hubby bought me the most recent CD. They describe themselves as sounding like, "if your childhood stuffed animals got together and formed a band". Isn't that funny! I think all their songs sound alike BUT the lyrics are very whimsical and the songs are just happy songs, fun to bop your head to.
Here is one line from the song "Every Goliath has its David "
"and I know Kung-Fu, and I'm not afraid of you. Cause I might be small but I'm not a coward, I have puppy powers, that I'm not afraid to use."
My favorite song though is "My Fairytale Ending". LOVE IT! It's not on youtube though, you'll have to come over to my house to play!

Sewing Expo

I always love going to the Sewing Expo. It's at the Puyallup fairgrounds and is the largest in the nation. My mom flew out several years ago when she read about it in a sewing magazine and we had just moved here. We went together and it was very overwhelming! Tons' of fun! and exciting! The first year she couldn't come out I was sad, but called her while there, she was there over the phone. I missed a year because I got sick and tried like crazy to give away my tickets.

Getting the flyer in the mail is like getting a catalog at Christmas. I poor over the classes and glance over the vendors and drool over the daily prizes give aways. I circle every class I am slightly interested in and plan out my strategy of how to get the most out of them.

I have learned to not take to many classes. This year I took 3 on Thursday and 1 later today. I now have a "PHD in Threadoligy". I had fun looking at the (literally) hundreds of vendors. I walk past this one that I bought a book from 4 years ago and opened it once. Another vendor I bought a package pattern deal which I keep hoping to make but never get to. etc. etc. I spoke with the photo quilt vendor that I have used a lot of her product. I wish I could afford the good deals with fabrics. I don't even bother looking at the machine vendors. Basically I have the sew expo down to a routine. I wish I could find my niche in the sewing world. I am a jack of all and master of none.

I am a Freak?

A few questions for my peeps to comment on.

What is the difference between; in office procedure, minor surgery?
What is the difference between procedure and surgery?
What is the difference between no big deal and big deal procedure/surgery?
At what level is it socially acceptable to be a little freaked out? Medium freaked out?

Maybe when the doctor calls you herself and says we need to schedule pre-op and post-op as well as the "procedure" itself. That is when I medium freaked out. Hubby is freaked out over the "what if's". You would think by now we would have this freaken stuff figured out?

nothing special

Next Sat Auntie Ann's free pretzel. I mistakenly told the kids is was today, whoops.
Cleaning house.

WW is going well. I had a brownie and blueberry pie yesterday and still didn't go to far over daily points!
Love going to the gym still. Love that I can mix it up and not feel guilty when I don't go, 'cause I still go most days.
Sharing time tomorrow.

Tears Today

Today was my fifth WW meeting and I cried at it! I was embarrassed (as always when I cry in a public place). But I also wanted to take the opportunity to examine why? I gained nearly 3 pounds, I expected some of that. But was upset over the meetings topic. My negative "self-talk" is why I cried. I am aware of it and want to change it, which is a good start, being aware.

This is such a personal journey for me as it is for everyone I'm sure. There are so many "issues" of how I gained my weight.

1. I gained 20 my first year of marriage.
2. 2 years later I gained another 30 when I was pregnant with my oldest son. (Yes, I did gain it that quick)
3. I gained with each child after that and never lost any of it.
4. Blah blah blah
   
   This week I ate some of my "comfort food", home made baked goods.
   I am sick of raw veggies. Getting tired of boring tossed salad.
   
   I think I'm done crying now. I need to stay ahead of hunger and go eat some lunch.
   NOT a salad.
