Hey guys! Sorry for the delay! Last time I updated I was
going strong on weight watchers.. Well, not so much any more! I have lost all
motivation, ugh!! I just can’t seem to get going again and count my points. I
have stayed at a constant 18-19lbs lost though. That counts as something,
right?? Anyway, I used to watch this show called Heavy where there were
extremely obese people who would go to a health care facility for a 6 month
period and drastically change their lifestyles. It was so encouraging to watch
these people, who had a lot more to stop them than I do, to make such changes.
Buuut, I’ll just use the excuse that the season ended and I haven’t been
watching it. Pathetic, huh? I still wish I can get jump started again and
continue on with my goal of 50lbs lost by DECEMBER.. Which is THREE months
away! Anyway, enough about that, I have other fun things to talk about..
First off, I have become “domesticated” in a way. Some of
you may remember that I took sewing lessons and then a few months later bought
this:
Well I made my first project for a sweet friend of mine.
She’s having a baby boy in November and so I decided I was going to make her a
blankey for her and Caleb. I used the zig-zag stitch for the very first time on
this, you can’t see that detail but you can see how it came out..
I decided that I really kinda enjoyed making stuff so I
quickly came up with another project! Since Joseph has lived in the house we
have never had curtains for our bedroom. I looked everywhere for them. I even
bought some from Overstock.com.. Didn’t like them, so I turned to looking for
fabric. Hancock fabric was having a sale on curtains and drapes one
weekend, JACKPOT! I bought 4 yards of
fabric for about $40! That’s HALF off! So I quickly went to work on them and
finally finished them and hung them today.. This is the end result:
So to continue my whole new “being domesticated” hobby, I
finally made something from scratch! Thanks to
Pinterest ( go there RIGHT NOW
and sign up! It’s so addictive and soo much better than FB!) Anyway, thanks to
Pinterest I found
this website to make Snickerdoodle Muffins.. Yumm-O! So I got
my stuff and starting dirtying up the kitchen and came out with a pretty good
end result!! You should really try it.. I didn’t use Cream of Tartar though, it
didn’t call for a lot and it was $6 at Kroger! Yikes! Anybody want some……?
That’s not all that I’ve been doing either. I had my week of
vacation in August and the Honey and I loaded up(way too much stuff) and headed
down to Destin. We shared a condo with my parents and enjoyed every minute of
being there.. We even kayaked in the ocean. It was a lot of fun! We ate at some
great places and even went to play putt-putt. We certainly didn’t want to leave
AT ALL! Oh and Joseph’s birthday was on
August 26th. He got a watch from the Fossil outlet and a skinny tie.
We went out to eat at Cerami’s the day of his birthday and then had friends
over the night after for cake and ice cream. I think he enjoyed welcoming in
his 30th year!

So it’s not update without the dogs is it? Zeke had been
B.A.D. Twice this week he has gotten
food off of the counter that was cooling. Talk about ticked! I don’t know
what’s gotten into him.. But in the end I can’t help but laugh. It just wasn’t
really funny the other night when the cake was suppose to be going with us
since we were the ones who were bringing desert for dinner with friends.. Piper
has still been just as sweet as usual, except she has been doing this whole
barking thing. At night and during the morning, I think she’s barking at
squirrels in the morning and her shadow at night.. Yesssh.. Here they are being
sweet and kinda bad..
