Goal accomplished

Last night I got a contract from Pack-o-Fun magazine and they are going to pay me $125 for my craft design! So it looks like I will be published in 2006, which was my new year's resolution/goal! I'm very excited.

Now what to do with the money? Normally any "extra" money would go straight to the wedding fund, but I think this should be separate. Mike told me to buy some new shoes. I knew I liked that guy for some reason! ;)

I originally planned to use crafting money to join the Society of Craft Designers, but they went defunk this spring! I'm open to suggestions.

i weigh too much

I went to the doctor this week and they have a new digital scale. Which means that terrible number, which is how much I weigh, STARES you right in the face. You can't ignore it the way you can the little slidey scales of old.

I really need to lose some weight. Like 30 lbs. Really.

So out comes my Jane Fonda Complete Workout video. The running thing isn't working for me. Jane's workout worked for me in high school, when I was the thinnest I've ever been. It's time to revisit the land of big hair, "work those thighs," and Jane's sexy posing for the camera. Please don't make fun of me!

On a different note, here's a picture of the set of notecards I made for Mike's aunt and uncle as a thank you present. These cards are not really my usual style, but I think they're alright.

We went to Kentucky Labor Day weekend to visit Mike's aunt and uncle. I got to go on base at Ft Knox, and the next day we went to Churchill Downs, where the Kentucky Derby runs, and to Caesar's riverboat casino in Indiana. Pretty good weekend.
