DDA Chapter 14

[lovesdumbo]

This is what I did Sunday afternoon. I made a nightgown for Lizzy's doll that we got at a yard sale-she's a "Just Like You" doll that she has named Kristen. She also has Molly so I made both dolls robes and I made a robe for Halley who is getting Kit for Christmas.

Mac-I KNEW I forgot someone.

I forgot someone too-sorry. I am SO glad your days at work are numbered. You need to get out of there!

There's what I've been waiting to see so I could scraplift. I figured if no one else had a picture of the kitchensink, I would have to go find one.

Happy Birthday Chris!!! I hope it was wonderful!!!

Chris logged off, but asked me to say thank you

I feel so fat!!! I just keep gaining and gaining. Of course having birthday desserts every night is not helping. Hopefully I can turn over a new leaf tomorrow. I will be subbing in as the art teacher tomorrow morning. They wanted me for Thursday too, but I have that drug test.

I think we all forgot to wish Mickey and Minnie a Happy Birthday today

I was in the same boat until about a month ago Deb. I just couldn't get on track. I picked up all my old habits that I had been so good on for almost 1-1/2 years. I was bad for a good 6-7 months and gained about 3/4 of the weight that I had lost back. I've finally gotten back on track and have lost about 5 pounds. More importantly, I feel like I have control of my life again.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I need to regain control of my life. My diet, housework...well everything seems to be out of control. I keep thinking that I don't have time, but the reality is that I am not using my time wisely. I think that I need to behave until the new year, then start the year with new goals. Trying to go whole hog now wouldn't be beneficial or even probably with the holidays around the corner. Hopefully I will regain control of the house as I use decorating as a reason to deep clean the house. The only thing I feel like I have well in hand is the Christmas shopping. I've been using lots of computer time to find bargains on things that I had planned to buy for Christmas gifts.

Deb, I could have written this post myself!

Elin - did you go enjoy half-priced Tapas tonight?

Bernadette - great new creations.

The field trip was a lot of fun, and very educational as well. I think the kids might have actually learned a few things. The wind was brutal, especially down near the water. I might post a few pictures later.

Me too except I don't see me finding any new leaves tomorrow.

That is great! Good for you!

It always amazes me how when one of us is going through something there is always another that is going through the same thing. I hope that we can all get it together. Maybe that can be our new year's resolution

You (the DDA) is what finally helped me get it together the first time 2 years ago. I had been trying for years and just couldn't do it. I found the support from this group that I had been searching for a long time.

they are that scarce.

That is because they are all in Mexico. Seriously I had not seen any in a store until I was in Mexico and they were in more then one store.

Then again the same thing had happened with the WII. But they were all over Florida, when we were initially looking for one.

If you look enough you will find one Elizabeth. It may be when you are not looking for one, as that is what happened to me.

My scale just told me that I am officially heavier than I have been in 5 years That is not good, not good at all.

I am also always amazed at that DDA phenomenon.

It was perfect. You and the exchange setter upper did good


Hopefully it has arrived by now. Becky got hers in PA a few weeks ago.

I got mine less then a week ago. That one has further to go. Hopefully it arrives soon.

Bernadette the doll clothes are cute!

Deb & Vicki I have gained as well. But that is how it has been for me my whole life, up & down. I love to eat & unfortunately it is the stuff that is not so good for us. So as my clothes get tighter I will gripe & grumble & finally one day I will say enough. This is so two sided for me, I love it when I am smaller but I hate that I have to watch everything I eat. On the other hand I get upset with myself when I gain, but at the same time I really enjoy the foods I am choosing to eat. I just haven't found a happy balance yet & at 46 years old I am not sure I ever will. So for me it will always be a battle.

My scale just told me that I am officially heavier than I have been in 5 years That is not good, not good at all.

I am back over 200 hundred pounds. I have been that way for a few months. I had been down in the upper 170s. I have still lost over 40 pounds, but I hate that I had to get new pants. I am blaming it on my injured foot, but honestly that just added on to a previous gain.

I am so frustrated with Snapfish. I had my book finished twice, I hit buy now, but did not see a confirm page. I have also not seen an email so I suspect neither order went through.

I need to head to bed. I have a meeting tomorrow at work.

Night all. I hope you all have a good day tomorrow.

Chris I hope you have a wonderful day!

Scraplifting!!!

Happy Birthday Chris!!!!
