So, today I drowned my sorrows in Oreos and shopping. Shopping is so therapeutic, especially when you can sit in your favorite chair in your jammies and computer shop the day away. Well, crochet and shop. I guess that defines my day and I must have had a pretty good one.
Shopping...I bought some great crochet books and yarn. Now the anticipation of waiting for the boxes to arrive, filled with goodies. I file away my receipts so that when the boxes do arrive I've forgotten what I've ordered and get the second rush when opening the boxes and discovering my goodies all over again.
I have a nice sense of accomplishment today because I've gone as far as I can with my last doily, that makes three that are partway done. I only have one ball of each color yarn, pink, lime, maize. I've ordered more thread. Now it's back to working on the bath mat for the bathroom. I'm getting a book on "wiggly rugs" that I can't wait to start.

TheDaily Grind
Last night was a disaster. I sabotaged myself with Oreos. So when I weighed myself this morning it should have come as no surprise that the scale jumped up five pounds. I'm sure it's just water weight!
Yesterday was a great day for crocheting and watching golf. The U.S. Open was held at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland and it was a super exciting four days. Sunday, though, with Rory McIllroy so far in the lead and wondering if he'd choke or make a stellar score was a thriller. It's hard to believe a 22 year old could be so assured in his brief career in the big matches. And, of course, he won the match and then some.
Anyway, I've started crocheting doilies now because they are the only thing I'm finding challenging. I think that's why I have so many projects going on at the same time; I switch off from one project to another because I'm bored with doing the same one or two stitches over and over and over.

In The Beginning...
...earlier this month to be more specific...I found an article for a supplement called Glucomannan. I know what you're going to say, "Yeah, right, those things don't work."
Well, I ordered them online, this is over the counter stuff, and I had actually forgotten I had ordered them so when they came I was surprised and I felt a bit skeptical with myself for letting the moment seize my better judgement - in other words, buyer's remorse. I read all the instructions on the label and abided by them.
It was the next day that I finally decided to give them a try. You're probably wondering what I'm yammering on about; it's just this, I felt full after taking them and I had no desire to eat sweets (my bad) after a few days. This is pretty remarkable considering I could not go one day without a chocolate product, ice cream, a candy bar. a milkshake, something EVERY DAY.
