Winter Blues

This winter is getting long and I am sick of shoveling snow. Not to mention bundling up in heavy coats, hats, scarves, gloves, boots, etc. I want to wear a cute outfit that people can actually see and a sexy pair of sandals. Ok so I broke down and went shopping last weekend and I really want to wear my short sleeves and strappy red sandals. It also doesn't help my exercise plan when I just want to come home and crawl into a warm bed.

I did pick up the activity a little this week. Maybe the brief thaw lit a spark in me. I worked out at work three days and four days at Curves. That may account for me being down to 169.6 today. This was a surprise as a have been up over 171 for the last couple weeks. I was starting to think I would be stuck in this area forever. This is a sign of hope.

My new hobby of soap making is becoming an obsession. I just bought a bunch more supplies, including ingredients to make transparent soap, liquid soap, and my own lotion. I also want to make my own shampoo and conditioner. I bought a five pound soap mold I can't wait to try out but I am still waiting for my lye order.

Also last weekend we all went to the auto show. It was fun and Ayden loved getting into all the cars and pretending to drive. Hey lets face it, at those prices that is all any of us could do.
