The sun came out today. It was out yesterday too. This has been very important, because I’ve been in a fit of the blues lately. I think it may have had to do with the cold, and the dark. I’m hoping with slightly warmer weather, my mood will lift – as will my willingness to post things on the blog. I’ve been in such a funk, I haven’t wanted to do anything.

And yes – for now – the Project is dead. I had a bad week of it – and I really felt like I was spending way more on groceries – just for ingredients for the Project – which was killing my budget – and at this point, I can’t justify the expense in making a whole lot of dishes that don’t lend themselve to left overs, and that didn’t go over very well. It was also affecting my weight loss. So – the Project is dead for now. Though it may come back for special occasions.

I need to get back on track with my weight loss – which means I need to stop the emotional eating. And baking stuff for people that is high in carbs and not good for me at all. So, hopefully I’ll be able to do that.

I do have some reviews coming – I just need to find pictures and put them in the post.

Welcome spring, even if it’s still a bit chilly – you are very much welcome and needed.

It is just so ironic, that the week I manage to get the podcast out about my goals for the year, that I’ve completely fall off the wagon.  So to be honest – here’s how my goals stand:

Weigh less – I’m off my eating plan and haven’t weighed myself in a week.  I’ve also been eating like crap due to the storm.
Knit More – I’ve actually burned through some yarn.  I’m another ball in on my cardigan, and I finished up my hats for the Boom Effect.  And I started a pair of socks.
Stuff in the Basement – last week – instead of exercising like I had intended, I instead emptied five boxes, and filled three trash bags, and bag for donation.  And made sure that stuff was gone.
The Project – I have not been able to bring my self to cook this week.  Time is running out, since I’m going to be going to Farpoint this weekend, and will be in a hotel, instead of in my kitchen.  I’ve got three of the dishes planned out – so since tomorrow is supposed to be a snow day – maybe I can get at least three done.  As for the veggie dish – I may need to catch up with that in a later week.  I’m not sure what I’ll do.

It’s the day after Christmas, which was quite nice, but for the disaster that the XBox360 has been.  The first one red-ringed out of the box.  So we got another one.  That one won’t play old X-Box games.  Sigh.  But for the most part, it was a nice day.  I have much old TV now to watch, some levels to gain so I can make a Death Knight in WoW, and cooking to be done.  But I do need to announce my goals for the year.

Now – let’s get one thing straight.  These are not New Year’s Resolutions.  They are goals – something to work toward – and you’ll see while they generally have a theme – they are not specific.  You could almost say less is more.  But I don’t want to give up on them too quickly.  So – without further ado: Read the rest of this entry
