I've had my Fitbit now for nine weeks, and I must say it's been a great experience. I'm regularly achieving my 10,000 steps per day and without strictly following a lower calorie diet, I've dropped five pounds.<br />
<br />
It does take effort, however; there's no getting around it. It has taken not only concentrated effort, but also about an hour extra of my time that I would normally spend in a much less active manner.<br />
<br />
There is natural motivation built in to the device which it does by showing bright little lights and a buzzing sensation when the goal is met. It also helped me to do challenges and compare stats with friends. The little badges are cute, too.<br />
<br />
For now, I plan to continue this foray and will pop in from time to time to let you know the outcome!</div>

There's good news on this end. The Fitbit folks got back to me, but it hasn't been acting up since I contacted them so I guess it felt threatened and corrected itself. ;) More likely, I had goofed the day it lost steps!<br />
<br />
The "Weekend Warrior" challenge in which I participated last weekend was won by.......me! Thanks to the others who did well also!<br />
<br />
Finally........the scale has budged! I'm officially down three pounds. If I could do that every month for the next three months, I'll be a happy camper. Of course, I'll have to keep my portions of food down as I'm still doing some "sweet" indulging.<br />

Although I'm having a great time with the Fitbit, and have overcome glitch #1 (putting it on), another glitch has developed. Without warning, the device loses steps. This morning I had put in more than 4,000 steps when all of a sudden it dropped to almost 2,000 steps. I have a note in to the Fitbit folks... hope they can tell me what to do!</div>

Achieved over 10,000 steps yesterday! I'm sure that will not happen everyday, but this is a milestone for me. We finally have a good taste of spring and that sure helps. Now if I could just get the scale to budge...<br />
<br />
I'm sending a big "thank you" to my neighbor who just fixed the computer problem of not syncing correctly. It's nice to have an engineer that lives across the street!<br />
<br />
If anyone else would like to be a fitbit buddy, just send out an invite!<br />
<br />
Happy stepping!</div>

Here's the latest Fitbit update!<br />
<br />
The most steps I've been able to get in a day is a little over 8,000 which means I haven't quite met my goal of 10,000. Today was a good start...over 5,000 by 10:am. There are two explanations for this recent "success". I must admit that I'm a member of the Kohler Sports Core which gives me access to more opportunities than most folks have. Our "Prime Time" class there, geared for senior citizens is taught by a marvelous instructor and I'm able to take advantage of that at least twice a week. She really keeps us moving and on our feet! Also, the Sports Core is about a mile from our home, so with our weather gradually improving, I can walk there.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, however, was a no exercise day, as I worked at the polls from 6:30am to 1:30 pm. After that, I was only able to get in a few household chores and take a nap! So yesterday was only about 3,000 steps.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to my new Fitbit friend. I look forward to her challenges!!</div>

Welcome back!<br />
<br />
Even though I didn't meet my Fitbit goal of 10,000 steps yesterday, I'm pleased to have logged more than 8,000. As DH reminded me, "Progress, not perfection!" The majority of those steps occurred on a morning walk around the neighborhood, but it's amazing to see how many steps can be accrued with everyday activities. That's the good news.<br />
<br />
The glitch happened quite early; I find it difficult to put on the Fitbit! The device I have is a Fitbit Flex which seems to require acrobatic maneuvers to align the holes before securing the clasp. It is possible, however, and a friend to has used a Fitbit for over a year tells me that it will get easier. This same friend frequently walks more than 20,000 steps a day. Wow! She does have an active dog that she walks several times a day, and that helps.<br />
<br />
Speaking of friends, I'd love to find someone with a Fitbit to "friend", preferably a relatively new Fitbit user. You don't have to be 72. Let me know with a comment!<br />
<br />
A new post will be coming soon!</div>

Hello, again, my dear blog! After more than a two year hiatus, I'm ready to try a new approach with some new goals. You are most welcome to follow this journey or check it out sporadically.<br />
<br />
Just recently, my Fitbit arrived. My step-son introduced me to the concept a year ago, and I finally took the plunge. A Fitbit is a device to wear on one's non-dominant wrist which tracks the steps a person takes every day and encourages the completion of various activity and eating goals. <br />
<br />
All of my life has been a battle to stay fit. Even it I am an old lady, the "little" part of the title has never been true! I'm not fond of exercise and love to eat anything sweet or salty. Now, at age 72 (almost 73), I'm willing to use the new Fitbit to improve the quality of my life for all the rest of it. I do plan to have a long "rest" of it and hope to be healthy doing it! <br />
<br />
After a few trials and the gradual improvement of the weather around here, I'm officially starting today. Despite the 28 degree temperature this morning, I clocked 3,308 steps walking around our little neighborhood. The 10,000 step goal may not be completed today, but I'll keep you posted. The secondary goal is a loss of 14 pounds. I promise to give an accurate account of that as well, though I know there will be lapses and restarts. I also promise not to turn this into a "Julie and Julia" column as I try to give the Fitbit a fair shake!<br />
<br />
All reasonably positive comments and suggestions will be considered!</div>
Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09401214410107442812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633168294013276243.post-78977016670991290222012-09-03T20:45:00.002-07:002012-09-03T20:47:18.044-07:00Flipping the Mattress<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Today we flipped the mattress. This seemingly mundane chore has had a remarkable effect on me. Please allow me to explain.<br />
<br />
A few months ago, I turned 70. Initially, I told myself, "It's just a number, so don't worry about it." After all, David and I enjoy good health, we love our life together, and all our children are leading satisfying, productive lives. My mother, who turns 98 this month, is still in relatively good health even though she is in nursing home care. She's always told me the secret to a long life is to choose the right ancestors, so that bodes well for the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I've been in a funk. Even David is concerned about me, so "as the mattress turned" today, I decided to make a few changes and share them in a new series of posts dealing with the aging process. The goal is 70 posts for 70 years, but there is a good probability that will change.<br />
<br />
You may consider this ramblings from an old lady, and stop reading right here. You may gain some insight into your own aging process and continue to read to the end. Or you may choose the practical middle road and read a few or some of the posts. Though I'd love company along the way, I must admit, this is mostly for me and to give an outlet for my thoughts. You are most welcome to comment and I'll try to respond.<br />
<br />
Perhaps flipping mattresses is no longer that important, but it makes me feel that minor changes can make things seem new and fresh, an important part of an interesting life.</div>

She not only designed and made the outfits but wrote the script and presents it complete with jokes and commentary in her role as the "Common Tater". You can see her Idaho inspired outfit above. We recently held the show for the Kohler Senior Citizen group. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Several friendly models also posed in their trend setting outfits. Ann chose a casual look in her T-shirt with details by Lipton and Augusta National. She wears it over bell bottom pants and has added "matching" accessories. Betty has topped a checkered skirt with a double breasted jacket and the classy pillbox hat, courtesy of Walgreens. Katchen is all dressed for travel in her nylon dress that never needs ironing. In keeping with the neutral theme, she chose "toast" accessories. I also joined the crew with my favorite costume, the "slip over sweater" with "capped" sleeves. My jewelry (by Tiffany of course) is fourteen carat and you can't miss my "picture" hat! Finally, we had to have a bride, and my lovely neighbor was persuaded to fill the roll. She was led in by a bridle and carried a nose gay donated by our local plastic surgeon. Her sweet little daughter was our "Flour" girl.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now you see what you can be done with a vivid imagination and a sense of humor!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

A homemade marshmallow topped light custard last night at Margaux, one of our favorite restaurants here in the Sheboygan/Kohler area. And one of the best parts was that dinner was almost free thanks to a gift certificate from my daughter and son-in-law, Becky and James Reinhold. We also enjoyed soup, salad, and two delightful entrees, a baked salmon in leek wrapping over a coconut flavored risotto, and the Margaux steak with pommes frites. Margaux serves both full and half portions, which are ideal for us. Our dining experience was superb!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then all we had to do was walk across the street to the beautiful Stephanie Weill Center for a luscious performance by the Sheboygan Symphony. Last night they featured Dr. Li-shan Hung on the piano for Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 "Emperor", and the full orchestra with Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4. For a small city, we are continually amazed at the quality performances.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now this is certainly a great way to spend a winter evening!</div></div>Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09401214410107442812noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633168294013276243.post-64653685039867535562012-02-02T20:11:00.000-08:002012-02-02T20:11:47.439-08:00Business and Surviving Winter<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGrDpQVLan3t9YlkfiIgGKrBGfMb-JPnj4Cl9YAI4rI4IxYu3i2GPkp5WiHyQZCUgftrrW533O_PAmK-fnDaaQxZMkOup12TqAO7e-j2nz1ByzF8bQQ4oBv7BKZLQwVQCptUV5caSFlVJc/s1600/GetAttachment.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGrDpQVLan3t9YlkfiIgGKrBGfMb-JPnj4Cl9YAI4rI4IxYu3i2GPkp5WiHyQZCUgftrrW533O_PAmK-fnDaaQxZMkOup12TqAO7e-j2nz1ByzF8bQQ4oBv7BKZLQwVQCptUV5caSFlVJc/s1600/GetAttachment.jpg" /></a></div>This is what you see if you place a special order with Peacox Creations or Peacox Too. Winter always gives me extra time to build up inventory, even a mild winter like this one. So I've been hard at it, concentrating on scrubbies, baby afghans, and greeting cards. When these supplies have been accumulated, photographed and listed in my Etsy shops, I'd love to start on some paper cuttings and pine needle picture frames. But this is also a good time to place your special orders.<br />
<br />
It's time, also, to do some updating and promotion of my shops. I wish I could get some extra help with promotion. Of course the ideal person would be one who would take products in trade, but that's only in my dreams! Publicity is one aspect that needs help as it's not my favorite part of this mini side business!<br />
<br />
The up side is that there's time to do some planning and thinking! Winter is certainly not all bad!!!</div>Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09401214410107442812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633168294013276243.post-31527350227592286482012-01-31T12:41:00.000-08:002012-01-31T12:41:10.909-08:00Presenting: Lizswares More Winter Survival<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-J-y-QLHc9BaRDUlQAZfT5Mj4avj9FgKYk_9-VoQ49XhKWAGPBu3rzEsdKwgYAxPSRp2P56EkNM7MfzCSF6ssuuy4Ui8bkhHyEOuyNUYYgqjJEdQIgLoVinEJo6qLWlO6-ULeezR9e_rZ/s1600/il_570xN_280566861.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-J-y-QLHc9BaRDUlQAZfT5Mj4avj9FgKYk_9-VoQ49XhKWAGPBu3rzEsdKwgYAxPSRp2P56EkNM7MfzCSF6ssuuy4Ui8bkhHyEOuyNUYYgqjJEdQIgLoVinEJo6qLWlO6-ULeezR9e_rZ/s320/il_570xN_280566861.jpg" width="320" /></a>I'ts a lovely way to spend a winter afternoon: browsing for jewelry. And I've found a great spot to do so, an Etsy Shop called Lizs Wares.

Now before you think I'm crazier than I really am, I didn't come up with the idea first. It comes from a character in one of my favorite TV show, NCIS. In an episode a while ago Abby had named her teeth. What got me thinking of it again, was some considerable dental work that I'm dealing with right now. And since I'm down to 31 teeth after Monday, maybe it's time to identify with each one a little more. Also winter gives me more time to think of such silly things.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, it's time to think of names whether I go ahead with this system or not. At first I thought of "honoring" friends and family, but that would mean selecting certain people and not selecting others and I don't want them to be "insulted"! Then I contemplated naming them after places I love, but that is a little impersonal. I'm leaning now to naming them after some of my favorite literary characters that can't come back to haunt me. Obviously, I'd love to tell you that I'm writing this "tongue in cheek", but my cheek is still sore so I can't do that!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So if you have any ideas for me, feel free to let me know!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

David has decided that our living room carpet is a great putting green. So now our front room has a putter, a mock golf hole, and several golf balls as part of its decor. For everyone who knows us, it is not surprising, as he just loves golfing and a Wisconsin winter is not conducive to much golfing. I figure that as long as he is enjoying himself and I know exactly where he is, this is a great winter survival technique!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Today was truly a day of guilty pleasures. As it was a late night last night, I got to sleep in again; this time until after 8:00. What a treat!! We enjoyed a great breakfast of eggs Benedict and after a little computer work, I settled in to the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times crossword puzzles. As usual, one was much easier, but as you can see, I'll need to take another go at this one tomorrow morning when I'm fresh!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The greeting cards begun yesterday are now finished as far as I can get without buying more tape, and this year's anniversary cards are now designed, but that was the end of most activity other than a load of wash, because our dear neighbors called to ask if it was OK to bring over a pot of chili for an early supper and enjoy the football games with us. And what a pleasant afternoon and evening it was!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now it's quiet here and I'm indulging in more guilty pleasure by watching </div>Downton Abbey. I must admit it has me hooked with a great story line and superb acting!<br />
<br />
Hope you all found some joy in the day, too!</div>Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09401214410107442812noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633168294013276243.post-67903940578508536412012-01-21T21:36:00.000-08:002012-01-21T21:36:43.410-08:00Second Great Day!

The first cards of the year were hot off the press this morning. At least nine of them are completed and nine more are ready to be assembled. You're seeing the three colors I've chosen: shades of coral, lavender, and aqua blue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The 6:00am dip in the pool must have given me the energy! We are fortunate to have a beautiful workout facility here in Kohler called the Sports Core. Besides many classes, workout rooms and </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">tennis courts it features two pools, a lap pool and a family pool. Being a very cold blooded critter, I choose the warmer family pool for water aerobics and visits with Sports Core friends.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After breakfast and reading the papers, I assembled all the lovely colored papers, stamps, and inks so I could begin designing. The above combo was based on an adaptation of a card I had seen before, but I added some new elements and they turned out quite differently. Tomorrow I hope to design three more and complete those started today.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Dinner was actually nostalgic for me as I made potato pancakes, an old recipe that was taught to me by my paternal grandmother. It isn't actually a recipe I guess, as she taught me by how the ingredients look and feel as they're mixed. I was so pleased to have mastered it as my mom did not like them and preferred not to make them, so after Grandma passed away I could make them for Dad as a real treat.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The clean up did not take long, giving me time to finish my book and get my nap in before an easy supper. Then it was a quick hop next door to babysit while her Mom and Dad stepped out for the evening. She's such a delightful baby and so easy to enjoy. I got quite a kick out of her hitting her plastic golf ball with her little plastic clubs! I also started a new winter hat for her as she has outgrown the ones from last year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What a great day! There's only the coffee pot to set up and the bakery to raise before the warm, wonderful bed will call. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Our darling little neighbor went sledding for the first time in her life and loved it!! Winter, however, is the bane of my existence. Living in Wisconsin, there are few choices other than enjoying it or coping with it, and as hard as I try to choose the first option, it never seems to work.<br />
<br />
Winter arrived a little later this year, thank goodness, and that gave me time to develop a new approach. I'm...chronicling my days until spring (which to me means no more snow and high temps at least in the 40's) to see if they really are as bad as I think at the time. I hope to be pleasantly surprised!<br />
<br />
Today really did start out rather nicely. David let me sleep until almost 7:00, just in time check email and to slip into some very warm clothes (it was below zero at the time) and head out for the weekly breakfast with three other couples. As we tend to have a great deal of fun at these events, we choose different restaurants so the same place doesn't have to put up with our nonsense week after week.<br />
<br />
This morning the conversations ran from the frustrating to the hilarious. The frustrating was hearing that the Sheboygan middle school teachers are each going to have to pay $50.00 of their own money to insure the I Pads that the school system has purchased and mandated for every student. Because all of us are retired teachers or spouses of retired teachers, that was hard to swallow.<br />
<br />
Good thing that breakfast was not! This particular restaurant serves Swedish pancakes with lingonberries which is one of my favs and the hilarious conversations covered everything from different types of honey produced by bees who pollinate different flowers to remodeled bathrooms. I'll leave it to your imagination to imagine the on and off color jokes that followed.<br />
<br />
Then we tackled one of our least favorite chores, the semi-monthly trip to Wal-Mart to pick up items that are definitely less expensive there I'm pleased to say we survived without David getting too impatient when I can't find things.<br />
<br />
<br />
Then it was back home to put items away, sweep the sidewalk salt away that we had been tracking in the last couple of days, do a load of laundry, unload the dishwasher and check our mail and Mom's mail. That left me an hour to continue my new book, In the Garden of Beasts, by Erik Larson the author of The Devil in the White City. It deals with the Ambassador to Germany in the early 1930's at the time of Hitler's rise to power. I'm finding it fascinating and a great review of that period of history. Also it provided great dinner time conversation!<br />
<br />
Good thing dinner was quickly prepared (we eat our big meal between noon and one) thanks to great leftover enchiladas. Even clean up was a breeze. That left time for playing a few internet games and read more before my afternoon nap. Now let me do a little explaining here. I do get a little more than 8 hours sleep a day, but I do it in shifts....about 6 1/2 hours at night and almost 2 most afternoons, a great pattern for someone almost 70 years old. Even more reading was on the docket while David cleaned up the snow that had fallen this afternoon.<br />
<br />
After a quick supper, which I have to admit included some great blueberry pie, we got comfy in the den and watched a little mindless TV, The only crafting today was making seven scrubbies completed at this time. Guess it's really time to get cracking on my crafts and Etsy shop which has been in the doldrums after the holiday. Perhaps tomorrow will bring more inspiration!<br />
<br />
If you've lasted this long through a rather personal and uneventful day, I have the feeling you are thinking, "That's a pretty good life", and I must admit it is! Even writing this has made my winter mood more mellow!<br />
<br />
So I'll post this blog, finish my book, and as Samuel Pepys would say, "And So to Bed"!<br />

But when it comes to the new year, friends become the center of the holiday. Each year we look forward to going out to dinner with a large group of friends at a favorite local restaurant. That is followed by a late night party and another one the next day, so it is really a two day New Year's celebration. One year I even overheard one of our friends claim that it is the best 48 hours of the year! Happy New Year to all our friends and family!</div></div>Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09401214410107442812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633168294013276243.post-66590278054651853282011-11-30T20:47:00.000-08:002011-11-30T20:47:24.614-08:00Presenting: MagdaleneJewels<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwy4sic2bvSfQzcuBjOY3hyfvS2vpeK5APi1bNCzu2P3L8vWOcA6VnDwqkl_S7ZvvQPYegpdjn4LkXdmudqhmpnOvnApPR9llQHOfrmYfF-qqWl9578mEMRJW8Y-mot8FJnurrGXIluBb/s1600/il_570xN_285288180.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwy4sic2bvSfQzcuBjOY3hyfvS2vpeK5APi1bNCzu2P3L8vWOcA6VnDwqkl_S7ZvvQPYegpdjn4LkXdmudqhmpnOvnApPR9llQHOfrmYfF-qqWl9578mEMRJW8Y-mot8FJnurrGXIluBb/s320/il_570xN_285288180.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwy4sic2bvSfQzcuBjOY3hyfvS2vpeK5APi1bNCzu2P3L8vWOcA6VnDwqkl_S7ZvvQPYegpdjn4LkXdmudqhmpnOvnApPR9llQHOfrmYfF-qqWl9578mEMRJW8Y-mot8FJnurrGXIluBb/s1600/il_570xN_285288180.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> </a>This priceless little baby cocoon and hat is just one of the items that the multitalented MagdelineJewels presents in her two Etsy Shops, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/magdalenejewels">http://www.etsy.com/shop/magdalenejewels</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/magdelineknits">http://www.etsy.com/shop/magdelineknits</a> As a fellow knitter, I can attest that her work is lovely and her jewelry is stunning, both for the holidays and in all seasons.

After many years of longing to do so, I finally did! Of course, it's about crafting. In "Confessions From A Crazed Crafter", I expound on the ten reasons why I craft. Some are serious: some are rather silly such as confessing that it takes precedence over housework! <br />
<br />
I'd encourage all bloggers to try this. It's easy and fun to do with one of the "vanity" publishers such as Blurb. I'd look forward to some of your efforts!<br />

Only Three!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Now I feel like the White Rabbit....I'm late, I'm late for an important date in just three days. No time to post a picture, just say that most goals were made, and I'll get done what I can tomorrow! Hopefully then there'll be more of an update! Off to bed!</div>Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09401214410107442812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633168294013276243.post-69626200667976978422011-11-14T21:00:00.000-08:002011-11-14T21:00:58.219-08:00Just Four More<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">days until the big sale We did even more promoting today so we hope lots of folks stop in on Friday and Saturday to see some neat crafts and visit with us. We plan to have fun!<br />
This morning brought a great sale, but that means I had to complete an amigurumi lion today along with the scrubbies and tagging and tomorrow means a giraffe along with more scrubbies. What fun! Here you can see the little giraffe and lion that went to Missouri today:<br />

I'm sure I'll still be finishing set up and even an item or two on Friday morning, the day of the sale. Today the elephant and five double scrubbies were completed. The only complication, and a pleasant one at that, was that three orders came in, so that takes away several items and there will be packing and shipping tomorrow. So, in addition to that, my goals are more double scrubbies , beginning the tagging, at whipping up a new hat.<br />
