Pink feather clip

Trying to stay busy!

Hi these are just a few of the hair decor I have been working on. Just been a fun pasttime or hobby for me. I have been making quite a few, just trying a variety. I started making some with curly ribbon and also some with feathers and have been pleased at how some of them have turned out.

Amazing!!

Hi all! Things are going amazing at the moment. I need to post pictures of projects I am working on. I have put off my interests and hobbies for so long that I am amazed at how I feel when I do the things I love. I want to make enough of them that I can sell them at the Tuacahn Market on Saturdays. I make magnets, hair decor, and some jewelry. Still don't have enough to sell though. But it has been a fun process. I just picked up a free shelf from freecycle.com and am so excited for that project. It is about 3 feet tall and 5 feet wide. There is a cupboard and a drawer on one side and a shelf on the other side. Lame explaination...I need a picture. But I am going to make to look so so cute!! Also, thanks to very crafty crafts ladies I found a pattern for doggy costumes for Halloween and I am going to make our sweet pug dogs the best costumes ever. Buster will be a Pugrate (Pirate) and Rango will be Batpug (Batman). Pictures to come to when those are completed.

And well for weightloss, I suck!! I really really am working on getting on a low carb diet BUT kind of hard when there is no groceries in the house. We are actually down to the food that I thought we may never use so I guess I should say I am glad that was there. Nothing like mashed potatoes with kidney beans, taco sauce and freezer burnt hamburger. Haha...really though, not to bad when there wasn't much anyway. Thanks Matt dinner was great!!

Now I understand why!

So I went to the doctor about2 months ago, felt horrible, not like a cold or the flu but I couldn't function. I felt blah, blaher than I had in forever. I felt like the world on my shoulders and that I always had a dark cloud above me. I always laughed when I heard people say that because I thought it was a figure of speech but I now have passed through it my self. I had a physical done and lots of blood work. My results came back that to sum it all up...I have PCOS. Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. The more I looked into it the more I understood who I am and how I am. It is amazing at how much better I feel now compared to then. Mostly I feel better because I had low vitamin D, weird huh, yes that did it. Mine was scoring at 18 and I needed to be within 30-90 I think, the doctor said she likes to see people fall around 70. I read up on being vitamin D deficient and it definently fit my symptoms.  Along with that, I have a hormone imbalance. It really shocked me to find out how related hormones are to ones weight. I had no idea. So I kept reading. One of the PCOS symptoms is the inability to lose weight. After reading it made sense to me, the only time I lost weight was when I was on the Atkins diet, I have been trying to figure out what type of foods I should eat to lose weight, I didn't want to be on the Atkins again BUT I just read in an article that those with PCOS should "Limit your total carbohydrate intake to absolutely no more than 150 g a day. Many women with PCOS find that they need to limit carbohydrates to as little as 20 g a day to achieve the results that they want. Make sure that the carbohydrates you eat are from low glycaemic index foods." Hey, those who have been on the Atkin diet probably can see the similarities. So guess what, I guess the atkins is the only way to lose weight. I think I would have to limit my intake to 20 g a day anyway. That was and has been the only time I have seen results in my weightloss.

I am kind of experimenting!

So I am trying to figure this out. So my posts can get better. This is my Buster Boy, he may have been 3 months old here but he is now 1 yrs old. He is a pug/scottish terrior mix I think the real mix name is a puggotie! I am an animal lover, we also have a Pug/Pomeranian (maybe Pugeranian) he is 5 months old. Recently we go them neutered on Oct 8th at Best Friends in Kanab. What sad puppies they were on the way home. It must had been taumatizing. Rango wined all the way home. Buster slept but they sure had a tuff night.

Few more days!!

Only a few more days until the October 17th tax deadline is over. You have no idea what a releif it is when that day comes and goes. This is a weird deadline, maybe it is because I feel better than I have been feeling in a while and some of the better feelings I have had now made me not feel so stressed. Maybe my heart isn't in my job anymore and I am just like whatever. But I can't wait until the deadline is over and so excited for the holidays to begin.

Welcome Welcome Wednesday Morning!
