    Thank you, Tilliesmommy1 for the welcome...much appreciated! I hadn't knitted in years and I had to kinda relearn about a month ago....wanted to make an afghan. But I definitely am a much better crocheter. :smile:

    Today I began preparation for Christmas decorating by packing away all my everyday decor...tchotchkes, my depression glass, etc. Took time but it is all packed away until after the holidays. Tomorrow is cleaning day and then Monday I will get out my decorations. I need to go through them and see if there are any that I can donate....I am always downsizing, as I live in an apartment and don't have the amount of room I had when I had a house. But the apartment will look very festive when I am done. I am looking forward to it. And every step is another calorie burned,

    I hope everyone who celebrated had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    Hi....and nice to meet you! I want to drop 20 pounds, too and this is not my first attempt at a redo, but it will be my last because I WILL succeed this time. And at this time of year, it's even more difficult, but I am up for it. Feel free to add me if you want support...we can all use it.

    Good evening.

    When I had a kitchen window, I would pull out all my Christmas stuff and decorate, lights and all. No window in this apartment. This time of year I miss it. I have 3 small Xmas trees all different styles (one is made completely of pieces of wood) and it does not take me long to decorate. Dejunk yes,decorate no.

    Missy I love your tree. What a pretty angel. Do the dogs try and mess with it like cats do?

    Food choices are improving slightly and that will help my scale which is being honest but mean.

    Luckily I have 2 three day weekends coming in December - its the "almost end of my long weekend and wishing I had a longer one" moment.

    I had to by long round knitting needles. Coworker and good friend announced she and her husband are expecting and I cannot find the round needles I use for baby blankets. That was my Black Friday shopping. I hope you were sitting down.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Well good morning everybody 💖

    Welcome to Serenityfrye ~~

    Missy - Your tree is so pretty!! Good for you! And hey - this is so exciting to hear that you will be starting that masters program in January. I am happy for you~

    Sara - you are so funny with the "I hope you were sitting down" I love it!

    Well, it is raining cats and dogs here today, so I decided to just stay inside in my pajamas and do little things and paperwork today.

    Any ideas on a Netflix or Amazon prime movie that's "holidays" but not too saccharine?

    Waving to Crochetluvr and any who stop by later on 👋🏻

    Lana

    scale was scary this morning: 269.7 must be the muffin binge - sugar makes me retain water!

    Thank you! Going to put ornaments up tonight. And my dogs don’t seem to mind it but it did confuse my youngest pup when he was younger. He “thought” he was outside. SMH

    Lana I don’t I kinda just see what the suggestions are.

    Sara yeah I hear ya on Black Friday shopping. I wasn’t going to go out at all. But my sister wanted company when she shopped. Well I got a few things and a couple of gifts taken care of lol.

    Good afternoon,

    Lana - go with the classics for Christmas movies they are a little sugary but not like the modern ones.

    At church one of my 90 year old friends sat next to me. She has been out ill for so long it was just nice to see her.

    Day has not been very productive, okay laundry is going, got a nice nap in. My onion jam was not quite right. I will need to find a new recipe. Still good with meatloaf in the freezer.

    My rain starts Thursday which also means snow in the hills.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Hi! It was a busy day. Spent part of it clearing up my crafts and putting them in storage until after the holidays. Did some cleaning, then my son asked if I wanted to play an online, interactive game with him and the kids so I said sure. Mostly trivia based, which I like. It was a lot of fun. I only get to see my son and his family twice a year so online communication is very important. Going to relax for the evening and watch the football game.....GO EAGLES!

    Hope everyone had a good weekend!

    Does anyone actually have active "friends" that you interact with in the news feed or do you just use the community board for support?

    Hi. I'm trying to start up again. Since completing my first HalfIronman (something I never thought I'd be able to do), I've been struggling with being inconsistent in my workouts and eating. I do not want to lose all that hard work and I do feel much happier when I'm healthy and fit.

    Good evening,

    Cold here and as tempting as hot chocolate is, I will settle for a blanket. Rain and snow coming Wednesday. Much needed no complaints.

    Eating slightly better - helps that all the junk food is gone.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Wow, it amazes me that November is almost all gone.

    Sara - glad that you have rain coming, and I applaud your achievements re junk food. I have not been as good lately.

    Lana,
    Your beach picture is much more inviting/motivating than our cold, dark, misty day in WI.
