4-6 months from now

My jaw is now healed and my surgeon gave me the OK to go back to the orthodontist. My orthodontist says I am now 4-6 months from being all done with braces. I have a goal to use that 4-6 months to lose the rest of the Caitlin baby weight. I have been back at Weight Watchers since Caitlin was 6 weeks old. In that time I have lost as little as 9 and as much as 14 pounds. Right now it's closer to 9 than 14. So instead of paying them money every month and eating everything in sight, I want to have straight teeth and a small bottom 4-6 months from now. It's now a publicly announced goal. I'll keep you updated and that will give me some extra pressure to perform well. 15 pounds- 6 months. That is totally do-able. right? right??

4-6 months puts you right in the middle of the holidays... but I think you can do it, Mindy! It takes a lot of guts to set public goals like this. I'll be pulling for you.

You can do this, and I will cheer you on!! And maybe, in the process, I will give myself the incentive to do something similar! right??? ;) yeah!

Dude, you can totally do it! I'm bummed about having to cut dairy and eggs out of my diet for breastfeeding E., but I'm hoping that it will help me lose more weight. It seems that all the delicious things I like to eat either have dairy or eggs in them, so we'll see.

Mindy, everytime I see a picture of you I think "She is so skinny". I think you look great. Since you sound pretty motivated let me give you some advice. Don't eat a whole package of OREO double stuff cookies in two days all by yourself (or any other abundance of baked goods). If you do, your small child will ask you two days in a row why your stomach is so big and if you are going to have a baby. That child will also comment on the size of your rear in comparison to hers. Just a warning. Also, I love how Faith wrote "Dude" in her post.

10 years today

Dylan made me these hearts as an anniversary gift. Sweet, huh? Ten years ago I was newly graduated from college, in love and ready to get married! Well, technically I was freaking out about getting married, which probably made Ken feel super good. Most of you know this story and the rest of you probably don't care, but it's my blog, so ppppthhhht! Ken lived across the street from me during our last year of college (but curiously, we were 24 and 25. Oh, how I love BYU). He and his room mate spent many evenings, and when I say evenings I really mean late at night, in my living room talking to my room mates, Laura and Cheryl (hi guys!). I would emerge from my basement lair, tell them to pipe down and then retreat for my beauty sleep and morning classes. Ken would hang out then go home, watch a movie, go jogging at 3 am and then sleep until noon. Somewhere in there I assume he also studied a bit but maybe not. He probably just showed up and dazzled his professors with his ...

A few projects

I made this pair of puppies from this really cute crochet book: They were my first attempts at animals and they showed me just how hard it is to crochet evenly and then attach all the limbs correctly. Dylan and Caitlin accepted these two little guys and love them in spite of their lopsidedness. But I decided to try again: Following the same pattern I made these two little puppies. There are still many things about attaching limbs that I need to master. Once the puppies were stuffed their eyes never looked quite like they were supposed to and the noses were obviously stitched on off center. But I learned to pin the limbs into place with straight pins before sewing that that helped me out immensely. Here's the other project from the same book that I have been working on:

some things about me

Is it cheating if I reuse material from another place? Once in college I used a paper I had written for one class for an assignment in another class. I told the professor and he acted like he was giving me a free pass by accepting it. Whatever! I wrote it! Is it my fault that it fit the assignments for two different classes? Anyway, I hardly ever do these but I spent a really long time compiling this list for a facebook meme so I am reprinting it with permission from the author (me) here: 25 things about me. 1. I like the weather to stay between 67-73 degrees. Preferably with sunshine. I also love thunder storms on summer evenings in Utah. They smell amazingly fresh and rainy. I like to watch them from inside. 2. I have enough embarrassing moments to fill this list but one of the most embarrassing was once in college when I thought my car was dead. I called a room mate to come pick me up, she called her brother to come look at the car and tow it. He drove 45 minutes to rescu...
