Something you shout - Right On (okay I'm channelling the 70's here)
Well, that was...interesting.....
DH hasn't found work yet, but he did have a job interview last week. So we'll see. I'm hoping he gets the call that he's got the job. He's going insane with not working and being Mr. Mom.
Our second car (the purple '97 Ford Escort wagon, dubbed the "Barneymobile") has officially been drivin into the ground. And, living in the small city (Woodstock Ontario), we pretty much HAVE to have 2 cars, at least for on the days that I work. Cherub has started to get some serious cabin fever while I've been at work.
I'm hoping that in the next few weeks we can pare down some of our possessions (as we seem to be choking on them lately) and declutter the house a little bit. *sigh*

I am....delurking

Well, I've been up and down and all around lately.

I've gained 40 pounds since the surgery. I'm the heaviest I have EVER been.

I'm getting very good at knitting.

My DH has lost his job. Again.

I'm looking for full time work and trying to NOT be a "mouse potato".

I spend far too much time on Ravelry, reading HP fanfic, and avoiding the world.

It's time for a change.

I don't know that I can maintain it, but I am going to try.

First things first, time to cut out as much processed sugar as possible.

Next, start walking.

And I might sign up for Flylady. It couldn't hurt.

Wish me luck. I think I'll need it.
