I know, my bad. I stink at this posting stuff. I have new stuff to post that I will be selling on Etsy. My custom made Funtons. (Buttons). I'm still not finished with these Funtons. I still have to put backings on them sand them and then seal them.

I'm saying, "Sorry for Straying"

I know, I know. I keep straying away from my blogispere. I can't help it. I'm not that all exciting. School started today. YAY! Well the boy's all got up bright and early this morning. They hated it,(ME). Rise and shine. Teenagers definitely don't like hearing anything cheerful coming out of their mothers moth, that early in the morning. Made them eggs, scrambled like my brain, they got dressed and took them to their first day of orientation. Even though the twins are homeschooled they still have to go to the actual school for orientation. Then they must go once a week for 4 hours of math. PE is also required. I don't think they count playing on the X BOX as physical activity. My oldest started college. On-line that is. He completed his first assignment today. Yay for him. Tonight is the parent orientation night at the school. Until then, see ya.

Monday Morning you Sure Look Fine...

Monday morning is my favorite day of the week. I love the feeling of a fresh week ahead of me. Especially after a wonderful weekend. All is great in the Lotto Camp. We are all keeping busy and enjoying our life. Ricco and I ran from our house to Einsteins Bagels yesterday. Yes, of course it was farther then we thought. We did it, though, got there had a tea and bagel with a schmere of lox spread and jogged back home. Then we all met up later that morning for our Sunday brunch with the family. Nico's team came in 3rd in Cali. He wasn't real happy about that. Rand is just being Rand. Silly and funny as ever.

OK, this was my first attempt at getting Shadow into this awesome outfit. It was a diaster. Then after 3 videos later, we finally got him dressed. Poor, poor Shadow. I then found out that the designer had put 3 snaps on the belly portion of this amazing creation. So that's what Shadow was trying to tell me. DUHH. Oh well, I"ll post more video's of him hopping like a Duck, we are also teaching him to QUACK!

Here is my first attempt at getting Shadow in this straight jacket, hm ummmm, I mean Duck Suit. I just found out from the designer that there are 3 snaps on the body portion. Poor Shadow if only I were smarter. I didn't see them as I was so excited to get him in this awesome outfit. Oh well, now she tells me. LOL

OK this is a real POST this time.

Been busier then ever lately, that I just have been posting by BLOG THIS, on Flickr (the easy button). I have been working out at least 5 days a week. I have changed the way I eat completely. Back to the old way. The healthy, the smart way, 6-8 small meals per day. I feel like a million bucks now. The old me is gone, literally. I have practically reached my preferred weight goal. I plan on continuing this regimen forever now. I am actually going to be starting my Spinning classes again. Yay, I really love those classes. Yes, they are hard core. I was great at it though. It is my cup of tea. Still got my spinning shoes, I am rearing to go. I have been keeping a self portrait diary of myself as I have been redoing my life. I love how far I have come, and I actually am proud of my progress. I can fit into all my old clothes and I have been shopping and treating myself to new outfits as well. Mostly workout clothes, but that is fine with me. I will keep updating my posts as I get the time. Busy with all the bead swaps, contests, charities, and patterns that need to be done over. I am having a new designer Kenyetta, who is a moderator on my ADHD KNITTERS group on Ravelry and my mmg/bff/ccp/npp/2dn re-edit all the errors in the patterns that have been formally done. So many mistakes, it's embarrassing. I actually have been giving people free extra patterns of the patterns I know are right , or offering them their money back for the errors that they have come across. Live and learn. I can't believe how timid I was. I really believe my weight was standing in my way. I felt inferior and powerless. What a difference a day makes. Loving life and living it to it's fullness. Till next time. Here's a tip: Don't forget to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
