Comment on I’m in the Mood by Jeanette

haha, my daughter and I were just talking about that the other day. She very emphatically wants to be a robot this year - I am thinking some boxes and glittery paint will pull that one off nicely.
The boys change their minds daily, but the 2-year-old will pretty much wear whatever I decide, so we’ll see.
A couple of years ago, the whole family dressed up as Super Mario characters. All the costumes were handmade and I about killed myself getting them done. The pictures look great, but like you, not pleasant memories!
good luck with the ironman costume!

It sounds like you have your work cut out for you. You will get it done.

My kiddos like to dress up around the house. Capes are a must here too. We are still in Princess mode and transformers abound too.

Rana,

I’m already wondering what I’ve committed myself too and WHY! I have cape fabric I bought last year that is still folded, neatly I might add, in the corner with all of the other fabric I’ve managed to collect over the past few months. See, that is why I need to start now.

A princesses and a Transformer. Are these also their costume choices?

Oh, no! I’m so sorry that happened to your thumb! There outfits turned out really cute. You were so brave to face the sewing machine again after that!

I’m stopping by your blog from Heidi and Brenda’s blogwalk Tuesday. It’s nice to meet you.

Jennifer,
I can’t believe you got it in there sideways. My mom has done that too. I will learn from your lessons and definitely not sew while sleepy and keep and eye on the peddle and needle. Glad you are okay. Drugs are a wonderful thing.

Dear Mommy,
I will remember the advice - don’t sew when you are tired, don’t press the footpedal . . eyes on the needle, when I get ready to shorten hems in my skirts. This is about the extent of my sewing. I’m happy you didn’t show your actual thumb. Reading about the “surgery” and then returning to the drawing ws graphic enough.

I’ve been off of sugar for the past couple of months all though sometimes I do indulge. I’ve been exercising everyday at home. I don’t like to work out in front of people, I have a phobia. I’ve been losing about a pound a week. I’m just trying to get healthy again. You have some great goals keep it up.

Rana,

All I have to say is what are YOU thinking as far as being off of sugar for soooooooo long. Are you Misty’s sister? I think I’ll claim her as mine. I tried to go four days w/o sugar and had such a difficult time. It is sad, I know. Congratulations on making it that long!

It is good that you are working out somewhere. I wish you success w/your continued program. Don’t you feel great w/the improvement of health and flexibility of motion?

Oh WOW, 2 miles?! Okay, even 1 mile?! I am duly impressed by the both of you. And I do believe that she is in better shape than my boys are. What town do you live in again? Y’all need to come over to my house and host a boot camp.

I love lots of sugar and cream with my coffee. And we do lots of pasta and baked goods. *sigh* Not good for the old weight… that and getting older. A good weight for me is 127 and right now I am the biggest I have ever been in my life (not counting being prego)– 146! Ugh. I even snore now. Definitely need to start working out! First thing in the morning!

We are in the same place. I’m about 135 6 months after the baby. I was 130 before I got pregnant but 125 looks good on me. I am also a slave to sugar. I love to bake sweets, sweets, and more sweets! Plus I’m a Coke a Cola addict. If you stay strong and work through maybe I’ll get motivated to get on track too.
So far I’ve been taking Murphy to the park and we walk the trail every other day. Baby steps for us!

Misty,

I didn’t realize how much weight I gained w/my first child until I looked at some pictures. It sounds like you’re doing pretty well w/your weight. Slave…I totally know what you mean. Sugar is my vice and I don’t see any way around it right now. The only reason I started working out was so I could eat as much food as I wanted (especially sweets as often as I liked).

I’m strong over here so you be strong over there. Baby steps…hmm, I’m taking a few leaps :).

I enjoyed reading this blog, it was funny(the cartoon adds to it) and it provided some very good advice.
