Yes... The ticker at the bottom of my blog is correct! I lost 2.8 lbs last night at my weight in. WOOHOO! I'm SO happy! It puts me right where I wanted to be for now. I'm no longer 200 lbs and I will never be that again! :)
This weekend I am going to Pittsburgh with my dear friend Wendy! She already emailed me links to 2 yarn stores AND a chocolate store. She is BAD! I am going to try my hardest to resist as much as possible. I think I can do it! Actually, I KNOW I can resist!
One other random... I am making a few hats for a GREAT cause. Anne has asked for help with knitting some hats for her SIL that has breast cancer. I jumped at the opportunity to help because I have been affected by breast cancer with family as well as a dear neighbor. I have already completed 1 hat and will be completing a few more to send to her!
I have also started the heel of my SIL monkey sock in Tickled Pink by Lorna's Laces. It's going to be one GREAT pair of socks!

Yarn Diet!!!
Well, I'm going on a yarn diet of sorts! I've decided that I should only buy yarn to reward myself. I just keep buying yarn, with projects in mind, but I feel like I should have purpose and meaning with the purchases I am making. Also, I need to kick start my weight loss so that I'm acutally losing weight and not just going through the motions of WW. If I gain or maintain one of the weeks, I have to start over! So..
I have to lose weight 5 weeks in a row. The following are the weeks:
March 20, 2008
March 27, 2008
April 3, 2008
April 10, 2008
April 17, 2008
This is also parallel to a challenge I'm doing in regards to WW. So I'm just basically encouraging myself to lose weight and be good each week!! :)
Probably sounds a little crazy, but if I write it down, I will stick to it! I have to.
Edited to add: Anyone is welcome to join me in my efforts! We can make it a contest of sorts... :) It might be fun! And I would even sent out some lovely yarn as a prize to who ever can keep to this!! Let me know if you would like to join!!

It's been a little while...
So, this weekend was super busy, yet extremely fun for me! My parents arrived Friday night at 11 p.m. We went to a Sports Pub down the street from the National Airport and watched some baseball. Then we went back to my new house, which they hadn't seen yet, and just went to bed.
Saturday, I had to go into work for about an hour, so my parents walked around the neighborhood and saw where I work. Then after that, we went to the National Catherdral, took some pictures (which I will post later) and just looked around. It was neat to go to the 7th floor and basically see all of DC and of the surroundings! Then we drove into Georgetown and walked around a bit. It was hot, but still really nice to be outside enjoying the weather! We also went to Target and now I have proper curtains hanging on actually curtain rods! It's great! I also went to Old Navy, where I picked up a new pair of trouser jeans for $25.00!!! They are great, a little long, but they will shrink up in the dryer.
Sunday we went to Eastern Market and looked around, we found some really cool furniture, but didn't end up buying it. Then we got some nice looking apples and peaches. Yum! They were so good! We then went to brunch with my friend Ora, from WW, at this delicious diner! It was pretty much amazing :o) Then we went to Old Town Alexandria where I really hit the jackpot there! I got a new pair of khakis and a pair of black pants for work, that actually fit! We also happened upon Knit Happens, a really cool yarn store. We walked in and immediatle got great customer service from one of the ladies. It was fantastic! I ended up walking out with a socking knitting book and some new GREEN sock yarn. I had a great time, as did my parents! I even got to wind my own yarn with the swift and ball winder. Then we just went back to my house and relaxed for the rest of the night.
Monday, we went to my old work and new work, so my parents could meet everyone that I have/do work with. We had a great time doing that, then it was time for the National Zoo. Well, we drove there and there was NO parking at all, so we decided to go out to the Leesburg Outlets for the afternoon. Once we got there, we had a great time! I hit the second jackpot and got a new sweater from Banana Republic, a new Vera Bradley bag called the Hipster, and a new rug from Crate and Barrell that was only $24.00 and it will match my room decor perfectly! After that, we met my DBF for dinner. This was the first meeting of the parents and the DBF and they got along just great! I think we all had a good time at dinner, not to mention the food was delicious.
Tuesday, we finally went to the National Zoo, then the Museum of the American Indian. The zoo was great and seeing all the animals was really cool. The museum was different, but I really liked it as well. After that, we went to MatchBox for dinner with some of my friends from DC. It was such a great relaxing evening and the food was amazing! I reccomend it to anyone who wants amazing food at a reasonable price!
They left yesterday, and I was sad all day! I also had to get more dental work done, and that was really, no fun at all! So for now, I'm in pain with my mouth, and I'm just trying to get through the week!
I do, however, LOVE the change in the weather! It has been AMAZING today!!!
More later.. Look for a photo heavy post tomorrow or Saturday.. then the weekend with Wendy :o) We are going to spend an entire day knitting and hanging out..and I can't WAIT!!!!!!!!

Doing this blog thing....
So, I decided to start this blog about my knitting and ramblings about yarn, all my WIP's, and probably a little about my weight loss journey as well! It's a place to get to know me, my love of yarn, and for me to learn from other people!
So, I give you.. My self-portrait shot from the bathroom so show off my new haircut. But here you have me :o)
I've been reading other knitting blogs for a little over a year and have thought about starting a blog, but I never thought I would have enough to talk about. Well, I was inspired to start this blog by quite a few people, but the most influential person was Wendy from my WW group! She is great! I have learned a lot from her since we started talking about yarn and knitting! We had a bet, that when I lost 6 lbs, she would buy me a skein of Tofutsies in color 790. Well, I got it last night and I couldn't stop touching it! It's my first skein of sock yarn and I can't wait to cast on! First though, I need ot finish my long list of WIP's! I'm going to work on that list and take pictures of all of them so I can post them on here!
So until then.. Happy Knitting.. And happy Friday!
