Yepper - I’ll take the loss. When I saw the 206.2 on the scale yesterday my mind immediately leaped to a snarky comment of ‘well, I guess stew, cornbread with butter and birthday cake totals over 12,000 calories as there is no other explanation for this 3+ lb jump.

I guess I experienced the ‘carb water weight’ thing. I dunno. But I was back down, even lower this morning. And I had pizza yesterday so … yay.

I am beginning to think I have the metabolism of a bear based on Keyten’s explanation a few journals back. Winter seems to be my ‘season’ for weight loss. Even with the endless holiday food passing across my path.

NSV’s - had to move my car seat up a bit. Well, that could be a conflict… I immediately deduced my backside must have decreased but what if my legs just shrunk? I’m going to hold hope is the former not the latter.

And, another NSV, pulling on knee high boots. I never have a problem with boots FITTING at any weight - my legs never change despite my Mrs. Potato Head body. But a year ago I struggled to be able to lean over enough to get them on my feet (generally wearing slip on shoes only) and needed boot pulls. NOW I can use both hands and bring my knees up to my chest. So there’s that - and that’s a good thing.

Post Blondie Birthday Party wrap up topic: she was surprised and very happy. On the way to the hotel ((to check her room in before the party)) I stopped at Marshall’s to get her a ‘sleep mask’ (eye mask?) because I’d tried to hand sew one for her and that was a fail. While there I got a little carried away with adding body wash & lotion, fluffy socks, a candle, a gown and some other things. I checked into her room early so that I could set the room temperature and turn on the lights plus put her ‘Taz’ bag (previous journal) loaded with snacks on the bed (( along with the Marshalls haul)).

She was surprised at everything - the balloons, the cake (with Looney Toons Decorations) and of course her suite and the bags. I picked her up yesterday and we went for manicures, lunch and shopping. Then back to her suite for another night. She just posted on Facebook that I was the best Mom in the world. #Iagreehahaha

Lunch yesterday was good. Palio’s Pizza Kitchen - This was the nicest restaurant I’ve been in for a while and you know that from my bitchy journals that I’ve encountered some disappointments. The owner was friendly, they had a personal pan pizza, salad & beverage for less than $9. When I say ‘friendly’ it means he acted like he was glad to have the business rather than ‘doing us a favor to feed us’ as so many restaurants these days do. He even hugged me on the way out and I LET HIM (wide eyed shock from Blondie because I’m not a hugger).

About the purses & sewing in the previous journal - thank you all very much for the compliments. Everything I have done has been helped by following a YouTube tutorial. Some of you mentioned being inspired to sew again as well so here are the tutorials for those bags. The Taz tote was based on a tutorial from ‘SewSpire’ - The six pocket tote. The clutch was from Lorrie Nunemaker - also on YouTube - called ‘the Grab & Go’. I found another video tutorial this morning that has made two of the lined purse processes 100% easier and will be making one this evening. That person is ‘Owl be Sewing’ and I’m going to make the reversible bag.

I’m hungry but don’t know what I want - I’m going to go browse y’alls journals now to see what you’ve been up to. Thank you for stopping by.
