Spring? Are you out there? Spring?

So this seems to be more of a seasonal blog than anything else and that's ok. It is what it is, right? I think I am just plum tuckered out and most of my computer time is spent on mindless drivel these days.

Work is going well. I just started Weight Watchers about 3 1/2 weeks ago. 12.4 lbs. gone so far. I have a long way to go (and a short time to get there)--sorry, I just broke into a Smokey and the Bandit song. Don't tell C. I swear to him that I HATE that movie. Along with Rudy, Red Dawn, anything with Sylvester Stallone in it, Ahhhnold, etc. I swear, that man will sit through a movie he has seen nine million times if he comes across it on cable. He doesn't even care that he comes in at the middle. He just sits and enjoys it at whatever point it starts at when he gets there. Humph!

Oh yeah, I was saying....Weight Watchers. I've done it before online but for some reason it skeeved me out to be losing the weight. I started having panic attacks and garbage like that. Why? Who knows. Obviously I have some issues with keeping the weight for "protection". So I think that means I really have to do some work this time around to make sure I am not my own worst enemy. I am going to meetings this time too so I am hoping if I run into the mental health roadblock I can talk it out with other like-minded souls.

In other news, it is Pinewood Derby race time. Everyone in the family, sans moi, has a race car. This weekend they are going to take them to a tournament? race? event? I obviously don't have the lingo down. At least they are all excited and it has been pretty cute to see C. working on these cars. I'm not sure the boys have actually been allowed anywhere near them but, you know, that's how it goes.

Soccer starts next week and baseball soon thereafter. With the start of soccer we will now be booked 4 nights out of the week, leaving only Friday, Saturday and Sunday night free. No wonder I am tired.

On the knitting front, I am knitting a simple fun fur scarf for a co-worker. It's red and I am dragging my feet on it for some reason. I need to get it finished this week. I am also working on a dropped stitch scarf for myself. It will be a year-round type of scarf. My secret pal at work gave me a ball of Hempathy yarn in a beautiful sage color (sage #07) that I wear often. I have been really thinking about how best to use this yarn and found this little gem on the net. It's not super difficult but you do have to pay attention to it. I am intrigued by it and think it will turn out lovely. I can't wait to find out who gave me the yarn because it really was so perfect.

I better scoot. I am suffering from a bit of insomnia. Not sure what that's all about. LOST is on again and it is better than ever. If you don't watch it WHY? Watch an episode then come back and tell me what you think.
