I have to admit that I haven't accomplished a doggone thing the last few days. I started three different projects and ended up either 1) making a mistake or 2) didn't like them so had to frog them. Last night I just set it all aside and said

To Heck With It!

I'm just stumped. There are so many things on my to-do list and as I go down them I just lose all hope and interest. I do have to tell you, however, that I am totally stoked about losing

54 Pounds!

I'm at the point now that I really do need to spend some time doing a bit of clothes shopping as the seat of my pants is hanging down close to my knees. The Hubster says it looks like I've messed my pants and would I please do some shopping. I put on my one and only dress to go to church on Sunday and realized I had a problem. Usually it's about 6" up off the floor and on Sunday is was clear to the floor. Had I been able, I'd have been jumping up and down but was afraid I'd fall on my butt for sure if I tried it. It was a wonderful feeling.

My brother was taken out of rehab the day after he got there and put in isolation with MRSA (another infection). He's still there and very discouraged. I feel so bad for him. I think we might have to go to Idaho and visit him. I did send flowers and I have tried to call but haven't been successful in reaching him. It's now been over a month since he was admitted. I can certainly understand him being discouraged as I am discouraged for him.

Wow! What a Loss!
It must feel wonderful!
I hope your dear brother will get well soon. It is so hard to be far from the people we love when they are sick.

Great job and congrats on the weight loss!! I have lost a little of 20 and am in a winter holding pattern I guess. I do better in the summer than I do in the winter. Hope your brother gets past his mountain soon.

"I just had to frog them"

I have NEVER heard that expression before! I'm guessing it means you stopped working on them, maybe even for good????

I wonder where in the WORLD that expression comes from!
