No Dairy, No Eggs...

In my previous post I said I would try this. (I guess I didn't mention anything about eggs). I have been successful. There was the "Butter on some handfuls of popcorn incident", but other than that woo hoo. I feel better but I am getting fatter! See? There are lots of good things to eat without dairy and eggs. I am going to continue this.

HOLY TOLEDO! IT'S NOVEMBER!

I am even lazier than I thought! Here it is November! Many things, mostly uneventful, have happened since July!
Rhoda has passed away.
We have a new cat, Hazel.
Tom and I went on a cruise with my parents to Alaska that departed from Seattle.
I have gotten fatter.
We are getting a new furnace this week.
We are getting a new rug.
I told many people at a Halloween party that I hated them. It was the influence of beer and Tequila... at the same party but not in the same glass.
I have decided to get on the dairy free wagon and see if I can do it. I wanted to "start" November 1 but I had a cheese breakdown for a few days. Very sad but as of today... here I go...

July is here!

June came and went and now it is July!

Where Have I BEEN!?

My God, I haven't posted to this blog in over a year! Have I been incredibly busy? No, I am very lazy. I think I will go have a beer and think what the focus of this blog will become...
Knitting? Haven't done it in a year!
"Dieting"? Somedays I do and somedays I don't!
USPS? If I post something bad about my place of employment I could be fired! Big deal!
Rubber Stamping? I haven't done that in years...but it seems fun again!
Me? How boring!

I'll think of something...

Yikes!

Yikes! I haven't writtn anything in months! It must be due to th fact thatt my life is very boring. Or it could be that I am lazy.

No Olympic Sweater

It just didn't happen although there were some attempts I just didn't get it done... I feel like the Bode Miller of the knitting world. I am by no means a world champion knitter but I thought I could do it and I just did not. I did learn to crochet and am making a giant granny square! Oh well, there is always 2010.

Knitting Olympics

The Knitting Olympics are starting in less than 48 hours and I am not sure what I will be knitting! Yikes! I have a couple of sweaters in mind but I am still undecided! I don't really like the colors of the yarns I have.

Dish Cloths

So, I have knit a few dishcloths. I really like cotton dishcloths but, is it worth the effort? It is so hard to get an even tension when knitting with that lousy cotton yarn. I think I will concentrate on other things and say, "to hell with knitting dishcloths". Or maybe I will knit a few more!

Boring Blog

This Blog seems so boring when I read the Blogs of other people. Those people mostly being knitters. So, in the next few days I will attempt to post something exciting about knitting.

Yogurt update

I e-mailed Stoneyfield and received a reply that they were sorry I was missing the fruit from my yogurt. They are mailing me some coupons for free yogurt. The "Hello Lisa" salutation was a different font than the body of the letter so this leads me to believe that lack of fruit is more common than most of us think.

Annoying Yogurt Experience

A couple of days ago I decided to bring some Stoneyfield fat free Raspberry Yogurt for lunch. To make a long story short, I thought I forgot to put my lunch bag in my mail truck. I was very disappointed. However, I found my lunch bag hiding in my truck! Hooray! When I peeled off the top I thought the amount of yogurt in the cup looked a little low. I stirred the yogurt to get the raspberry gunk to mix in and there wasn't any! It was raspberry yogurt with out the raspberry. Grrr! I was very annoyed!

Rhoda

This is silly Rhoda. She is one of the pets my husband and I have in lieu of children. Yes, she is a greyhound.
