Shock, Relief and Some Projects.

Sunday morning held quite the shock for me.

I had been afraid to get on the scale.

Fair week,

Fair food,

Not much walking.

But really, how bad could it be?

I knew that my jeans were a little more snug,

So I braved it.

I stepped up,

I sucked in.

I held my breath.

Does breath really weigh anything?

I

gained

SIX

pounds!!!!

I expected TWO!

but

SIX

WHOLE

POUNDS!!!

How did this happen.

All day I reasoned,

I pondered,

I lamented.

I didn't think I ate that much fair food.

So,

I didn't eat much at the church picnic.

I drank lots of water.

I snacked on peppers and tomatoes.

I vowed to

walk

run

exercise.

I think I drove JWS a little crazier.

He gave me all the reasoning.

50's

Menopause.

"You still look great, honey."

I was inconsolable,

How could I walk this much since April and gain six pounds?

Then this morning...

I noticed as I took my deep breath to prepare for my daily weigh-ins

in my quest to lose this 6 pounds...

and maybe the five that I initially wanted to lose in April.

The

Scale

Was

Out

Of

Adjustment!

By

Five

Pounds!

A HUGE WHEW!!!! 

You see, they used my scale to weigh the kids at the fair for the kiddie pedal

tractor pull a week ago and I had not checked it since.

Did I really make myself miserable for a whole day over this?

Projects from the weekend

More ornaments.

Penny, if you are reading, I am well on my way to the 100!

And some ginger stuff.

Some bowls waiting to be varnished.

And this new project.

Some wool ornaments.

This could be a new tutorial.

Watch for it.

I did get one other painting done,

a pretty big project.

But...

It is very similar to a project that will be in Create and Decorate next year,

so, I really can't show it.

Off to walk!
