a quick aside: stores, please make your aisles wide enough that a person can maneuver a stroller through them. thank you.
i pawed through the sale corner for more of the rowan cotton. they had one ball. it is in my dye lot though. so i bought it. am i insane enough to think that i could fit into a medium of the green gables?
maybe. i am still breastfeeding which is giving the girls some added girth. and i started a diet of sorts on sunday. i am tired of my clothes not fitting. and the muffin top icks me out something fierce. time to shed some extra weight. i'll be hitting the gym soon too. yea! me! basically i've cut out the crap, am trying to add more protein to my meals (this is harder than i thought), i'm snacking healthy (i just had a small bowl of no fat yogurt with a handful of cereal, a sprinkle of almonds, and a dash of cinnamon. all i need is some bee balm and some wheat germ and you could call me hedda), and eating more veggies. so it is not a diet-diet. merely a wake up call to the cookies and cheese currently filling out my jeans.
anyway, the bare minimum is 10 lbs, the ideal is 20 lbs (according to the BMI so don't wig on me) and i'd like to be close to that by july when i return to work. the kid will be weaned by then (i dearly hope!), so fitting into a medium green gable is not crazy talk. look at the lengths i will go to use up some stash yarn! this is commitment. wait. how long does yarn have to be in the stash before it is considered stash yarn?
ms. hedda, they had 7 balls of a lovely green (close to the color in the pattern but with a titch more blue) at the store. it is $4.15 a ball. i could pick it up and send it to you...
oh, and if this whole thing turns into a debacle, here's the backup plan:
