Worthy of a Blog Entry!

I have finally gotten to the point where I can piece this quilt together. It.has.taken.forever. I got all the squares trimmed and ready to go yesterday. This quilt has been taken out every once in a while over the past two years. TWO YEARS. It is a crazy quilt. Very easy, but a whole lot of cutting, sewing, and ironing and more of the same. I will post it when it is all done. I am also working on a pinwheel pattern type of quilt for my sister. I keep telling her she may get it before the start of the next century. We shall see. Quilting is such a fun hobby. My mother-in-law got me started. Anyways . . . I had to post because I can start putting it together!

Extreme Modesty or Not?

I read this article in the Seattle Times. So, I went and looked up their homepage to see what they sold. I believe in modest suits, but this may be a bit too extreme for even me. No, I am not judging or whatever, but I just thought it was interesting and would share. I wear a suit with shorts attached to it, but this would hide more of the 'ole cellulite if you know what I mean. I just don't know if I could wear one.:)

I Love It!

As you all know, I am a medical transcriptionist. Doctors have many ways of saying a patient is well . . . . fat (I hate the word fat as it just rubs me the wrong way probably because I am pretty fluffy). Doctors tend to use words like obese, morbidly obese, heavy, overweight, etc., when they do a physical exam or give a patient's history. Well, there is an MT forum that I go to and one of the transcriptionists on that site posted that a doctor had said the patient was "overly nourished." Yup, that is what I am "overly nourished.":) I love it. By the way, I have lost about 25 pounds. Still not where I should be as the last month or so has been a stinker, but I am going to Seattle in a few weeks and hope to have lost another 15 and am using that as incentive. I have not gained back an ounce, so that is good. Hope you are all having a wonderful summer!
