Procrastinating

I have been procrastinating lately in a lot of areas of my life. Not sure why, just have. Maybe its the weather, its turning colder and I just want to hibernate. Maybe its because so many things have been going on around here. Nah, maybe its just because I was lazy. Oh well who knows. But here I am, going to try and bring this up to date.

I will start from today and work my way backwards. That probably will be easier. I went to my weight loss appt this morning. I have officially lost 108 lbs since my surgery in May, and I have lost a total of 42 in. I am happy, the nurse was happy, and said I am doing great. I will lose more if I do more exercises. Yeah I know I should, but... I plan on getting a more aggressive workout in the very near future. I really need to sit my butt down to my sewing machine and take in my pants again. I only have like 2 pairs that even remotely stay up somewhere around my waist. The rest just fall down as soon as I put them on. I have bought some new tops so I am good to go there. I hate to spend the money on a lot of clothes right now because I know that is going to change next month. So I make due with what I have. I know eventually I will have to break down and buy some new pants.

At work I have changed positions. I am now the shift supervisor. Actually I should say I am again the shift supervisor. I was in that position a few years back and stepped down. But things are different now, different administration, so things should be a whole lot better. I would have been very happy with working day shift, but this will work till I can change shifts. There is some tension at work with some coworkers about this, but oh well, learn to deal with it.

Soccer season is over and so that is one load of my schedule. Although I enjoy going to my granddaughters games, sometimes it gets to be to much. I did make 11 fabric bags out of some really cute soccer material, and even lined them for the seniors on the team for senior night. They really turned out nice and everyone seemed to like them. Now she is talking about wanting to be on a volleyball team at the YMCA. AHHHHH. Will have to wait and see how that works out.

I have been trying to finish up my sewing/craft room, and move my crafts from my bedroom into there. Its a slow process. I have been very diligently going through all the boxes and drawers of stuff that I have and be very picky as to what I keep. I can not believe how much stuff I have. I thought I got rid of a lot when we moved into this house. I guess I replenished my stock. I am wanting to make some earrings for myself and my family. A very good friend of mine made me a pair and they are beautiful. I am now inspired to see what I can come up with.

I am on the Relay for Life team at work, and I am going to make some things for the upcoming event next year in June. I figure if I start now I won't be scambling later. We have to raise money, sell things now and at the event. And no time like the present to start. This will keep me busy and out of trouble for a long time.

I need to start on making some things for Christmas, as it is just around the corner. I can't believe its almost the end of the year. Boy when they say Time Flies, it really does.
