It's the Year of Jubilee!!!! for Me anyway :)

Hello there ~ bet you thought I'd just up and walked away from blogging it's been so long since I bothered to write anything at all ... sorry ... to disappoint you that is I'm here & although I am not consistently writing in my blog doesn't mean I'm not thinking about it :)   Yeah I know thinking & doing are two completely different things!!!

So I've got something to share ~ I've officially lost 100 pounds!!! (Last week I pulled it off  & even with indulging for Mother's day I didn't gain for my weigh in yesterday I weighed the same as the week before  ... go ahead & ask I don't mind & I'm not exactly keeping my numbers a secret LOL
My starting weight was 280 (pounds) and my weigh in was yesterday morning ~ 179.6 = 100.4 pounds lost!!!!   I have another 50 to go!  But I know I can reach my desired goal of 130.  It may be hard.  It may seem impossible but I don't care about that I've lost 100 pounds already & I'm going to work hard to be set free of the last 50 pounds I need to get rid of..
And as for numbers ~ if you don't know what a year of Jublilee is all about well it is from the bible (Old Testament)  and it had to do with the 50 th year (now not their birthday's but I'm all about my birthday)
Yes I am 50 yrs. old today!!!  To celebrate I've already gone out for breakfast with a dear friend and this afternoon I am going to surprise my granddaughter by being the "Mystery Reader" for her Kindergarten class.  I'm going to read " A Rose For Pinkerton" by Steven Kellogg... if you haven't read his books I highly recommend them ... his stories are very entertaining & his illustrations are fantastic :)
Yeah I am a big fan of Steven Kellogg's work .

Oh and by the way ... this post is being written directly from my very own laptop!  My husband was thoughtful and bought it for me so that I can have my computer when I travel, etc.   I do enjoy my desktop however there are so many times that if I could just take it with me how much more I could do ... well you understand I do not need to ramble on ~  I know why stop now? LOL

On a crochet note ... well I am thrilled to say I gave my 5 yr. old granddaughter a crochet lesson and she has already made two "chain" bracelets.  I am so looking forward to our next lesson. When I will show her how to work a sc stitch.
Okay need to get moving I just realized what time it is & I have a few things to do in order to go to read at her school.  Have a great day ~ may your hooks be moving swiftly and may your projects be UFO's no longer!!!  :)
