40 pounds

Yesterday I bought a 40 pound bag of salt for our water softener. Nothing odd about that, right?

Well, I decided I didn't want to take a cart out just for that, so I tossed it up on my shoulder and headed out the door.

I wasn't even out the door yet when I realized, that's a lot of weight and my lower back was telling me about it. Then I thought "Hmmm, I wonder if I LOST 40 pounds, how much better would I feel? Would it be a relief much like when I put this bag in the car?".

So, I put the bag in the car, and now I am wondering again. "Will I do it? Will I behave myself and lose 40 pounds?"

How hard could that be? The people on Biggest Loser do it all of the time, (and very quickly I might add).

It's time to purge the pantry and go for it!

I've been busy. I didn't realize I'd been "AFK" for so long!!! I have been getting ready for all of my December art shows.

I've been having a lot of fun making beads for items like the bracelet above.

Isn't it pretty?!!!????
