    I taught myself to crochet 2 weeks ago, and I'm getting flack from a friend that's a girl because I went m.i.a. on Saturday evening to hit the fabric store.

    What's a dude to do when he needs to get some Lily Sugar N' Cream Cotton Yarn on a Saturday night and Joanne Fabrics has it on sale for $2.79 a roll. Gotta catch'm all.

    Everyone knows Joann's is where the party is. Crochet on, dude.

    No shame! That's awesome! Crocheting is a good way to rehab damaged hands, or so I've found.

    What are you making?

    Cotton yarn is the absolute greatest for crochet and I would also love to know what you're making :-)

    I only log when I lose weight, so the tracker wont go up...only down. Oh and I've been using my baby for an excuse of why I only go for walks instead of "real" workouts...this has got to stop. sigh

    Confession : reading this thread has made me desperately hungry. I'm currently plotting on how to have a quiet McDonald's binge later this week

    I started with a Glowworm Green scarf that I used double crochet with black eyes and a mouth to look like the Minecraft Creeper, then I bough 3 skein of thicker yarn and that became a 7 foot long single crochet scarf, it's super toasty.

    With the cotton yarn, I'm trying to figure out this magic ring thing (and I think I've got a method for actually pulling it off) to create amigurumi's. And when I get good at it, I'll make some super heroes, pokemon, some super villains, and things for family and friends instead of buying stuff.

    Non food or health related confession: I feel homicidal when I hear my coworkers shuffling or dragging their feet across the floor. PICK UP YOUR DAMN FEET! :#

    Ugh, same here! And, yes, "judgy" of me, but it also makes me think they are lazy and/or sloppy.

    Or don't know what size shoe they wear. It is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I get onto my daughter if I hear her shuffling her feet in public. I refuse to raise a foot shuffler.

    I love this thread, it has it ALL! :)

     120+ pages and it's still up... not that it shouldn't be because tensions have been kept to a minimum and the creepier stuff (like dead bodies in the freezer along side the ice cream) have been minimal or edited out. ;)

    Me too! My "confession" is I'm going to be really sad if this thread ever dies. I look forward to all the new posts every day.

    This is awesome! Yes, what are you making? Pics when you're done?

    @AgentOrangeJuice - those are awesome, my kids would love that. Minecraft is evil for pre-teen boys.

    Went off track for my anniversary dinner... big time. I was ok with that, since 28 years should be rewarded, but on Sunday I could not get it back. So, off track for two days. Up 2 pounds. Ick.

    Doing better today.

    48 miles is awesome though, great job :)

    Please believe me when I tell you that several of the mom's at my older kid's school are super stuck up and judgmental. This makes me sound like the jerk, but I'm really so laid back and these people just drive me nuts! The other day, they had a bake sale at the band and strings concert and one of those women made chocolate chip cookies. She listed all the ingredients on a paper and in caps put ORGANIC before each thing, i.e. "ORGANIC flour, ORGANIC sugar.." It was so obviously competitive nonsense ( listing the ingredients at all was not required or expected). She was the winner of best mom in the world for sure. I find this type of behavior so obnoxious.

    And that had nothing to do with anything, except that it was annoying.

    48 miles and 8000 calories are both awesome achievements! I ran a continuous 10k for the first time on Saturday and destroyed my entire calorie deficit that day.

    I binged on some insomnia cookies last week and didn't log it. I felt so ashamed. They are like almost 300 calories each.

    My sister goes to college near an Insomnia Cookies store...they are good.

    Shamrock Shakes are at McDonalds, I'll be pooping green this afternoon.

    I just told my mom the same thing. "It's March, which means Shamrock Shakes!" I had an Andes candy mint shake from Arby's a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty good.

    Last week we stopped by the store to pick up a few things because we were getting a big snow. I picked up a package of Oreos, which I never buy. They were gone by the morning. I swear I didn't eat that many!! I'm really hoping the kids helped....because yeah....Oreos. Nope, didn't log them. They didn't happen.

    maybe my squirrels ate them? Perhaps you threw them out the car door without the wrapper in a fit of panic that you might eat them all in one go and simply forgot? ;)


    Or ...This might indeed be a true case of 'pics or it didn't happen'?! LOL

    Nope, I ate them..... :)

    Oh, that would annoy me as well. I figure people like that are desperately trying to compensate for their own deficiencies elsewhere and, nope, I don't care what they are, nor do I feel badly for you (general "you"). Get yourself straightened out already!
