One Pretend Girl's Descent Into Madness

Motivated!

I found some motivation this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Friday night we went out for dinner since neither of us felt like cooking and I was craving a hamburger. When we got home we watched Strangers with Candy the movie and I finished our blanket I've been knitting forever. It's really small so I've decided to give it to our nephew for Christmas. After I completed that I taught myself to purl. The knitting mystery I've been reading has motivated me to be more brave in my knitting.

Saturday we:

  • Attended our weight watchers meeting, lost weight this week, and received awards for weighing in for 16 weeks, Cindi received an award for loosing another 5 lbs (totaling over 20 lbs)
  • Went grocery shopping
  • Cindi gave Jack a much needed bath and I dried him off
  • Cleaned & reorganized the kitchen including sweeping and cleaning the floor on my hands and knees (we don't own a mop). I've now decided I want a robot that mops ;)
  • Vacuumed & dusted most of the house
  • Oiled our bamboo cutting boards
  • Cleaned the spare bathroom
  • Unpacked all but one box that was left over from our move
  • Organized the office a bit more
  • Decorated the house with holiday cheer
  • Knitted a change purse & bookmark from scrap yarn
  • Helped Cindi water the plants
  • Moved one of our hanging plants from the bathroom (where it was very sad) to the kitchen where it'll get more attention and much more light
  • Organized our bedroom closet (accidentally running into a hidden wrapped Yule gift, oops!)

I think that's about it but I'll update if I remember anything else. Tomorrow I'm hoping to do laundry and maybe some more knitting. We're a bit poor right now so I'm going to have to be happy with knitting with scrap yarn until I can afford new yarn & needles for new projects.
