Now, Let's See If We Can Try This Again.

I find it totally hilarious that its been over a year since my last post. My family and I have been through a lot these past 12 months. I had a sweet baby boy, Bryce Kaden. I got married, so Im now a Robinson, and, we moved again. Not to mention DH being out of work still. This raggedy economy has beaten us up.

All in all I feel blessed to have seen another year. I celebrated my 35th Birthday on the 31st and I don't mind telling my age. I mean, big deal. My kid thinks I'm old and lame but I think I'm pretty cool, so there!

So anyway I need to set some goals on what I want to accomplish this year. I would like to loose 52 lbs... 1 lb for every week of the year. Since I typically don't stick with anything past 20 pounds this may be my biggest challenge to date. Im not feeling good about my apperance these days and cant stand to look in the mirror so I'm ready to commit to doing it Full Throttle!- ( I say this as Charlies Angels 2 plays on the TV in my office) Weight Watchers is on the horizon. Its the only thing that has worked for me in the past outside of taking a pill, so Im going back... Wish me luck.

I will try to get back into constant crafting with a purpose. I've been too depressed and busy here lately to fully concentrate on crochet. Ive been meandering aimlessly into one project or another not really finishing anything. The Atlanta Craft Mafia kinda busted up after the original ladies quit leading and that was a bummer because I felt really inspired by those ladies and they all motivated me. I need to figure out out to balance my love of creating with family responsibility. Humpf! I've found inspiration in the work of some of the original Craft Mafia Ladies like Jennifer Perkins and Jenny Hart. I read their blogs regularly and they always have something new and fun to try... hence my meandering. Either way, I promise myself I will do better.. maybe I will even find time to blog once a week....

SO there it is. Loose weight and craft my goals for 2010 not to advantageous I think. Happy New year y'all.
