…..Is there anybody out there?

Greetings to all --

Can you believe it is March 3rd already?  As of March 6th -- I will have been unemployed for 6 months.  I can't quite believe it.

To catch everyone up -- we are still waiting on the lease negotiations for our Sugar Land location.  We are 3 weeks into the negotiation.  Just sent an email today to nudge a bit.  Surely this week we will get some kind of an answer.  I feel like I am holding my breath!


Let me report in on my W.O.O. progress.

Perhaps my proudest moment is this……

I completed my mini-afghan.  Frankly it's not so mini….but that's another story.  Its far from perfect -- but I am proud that I set the goal and accomplished it.  And guess what I really enjoyed it.  I do truly need a craft outlet in my life.  I love scrapbooking….but the space it takes is a bit prohibitive.  And another learning is I most love it when I am with others.  Haven't been able to get Tim into it, so its a bit lonely.  Crochet on the other hand can be done nearly anywhere.  I will say its a misunderstood craft.  While crochet seems to be socially acceptable for the young in Europe -- it is not so popular here.    Of course I am getting a head start on my retirement activity -- so i'll be ready when the time comes.  I thought it was going to be golf….but no -- its crochet!

Next my "30 Day Series" fitness activities.  January was push-ups…..I completed the daily requirements equalling 747 total push-ups.  In February it was daily triceps-dips….I have just finished that with 1300 dips.  Now I am kicking off March with planking.  I committed to doing 8 months of this over the course of the year -- so trying to get it done before the Elements Studio work kicks off.

61 days and counting of food journaling.  And yes -- it is working.  I know this will keep me at goal weight!

Interestingly the hardest goal for me is the reading.  I know Ethel's mouth just dropped open!  I just don't know why.  I do enjoy it -- but it's just the last thing I think of doing  And the crochet isn't helping!  I still will accomplish this goal….but did not think this one would be the hardest.  I am on my 3rd book of 6…..called The Husband's Secret.  I swear its a good book -- in case either of you are looking for a good book.

I hope everyone is doing good -- hitting your goals and most importantly being happy and appreciating every day….even though the weather has not been our friend!  I sending good thoughts and support to both of you!!!!!

love……..Lucy
