• Hi, my name is Kelly and I’m an addict.

  A clearance/sale/shopping addict.

  But it’s soooo cheap/such a good price/I’ve always wanted one/it’s good for me.

  Multitudes of platitudes, dude.

  Today was a kicker though, I went with a friend to Michael’s – the
  craft store. To buy little cards to put floss on and give it labels
  (not that it’s really important but when you do a big cross-stitch, the
  biggest bitch, even worse than all those wee little x’s is trying to
  keep straight which color is dark olive drab green and which is medium
  drab green  and which is khaki, dark khaki or medium khaki – hence
  the use of little cards which you loop the floss onto and give each one
  its little name so that you can keep all those damn shades straight).
  However, we walk into the cross-stitch aisle to big signs that say “All
  Needlework kits 40% off!!!!”

  That’s a bad sign.
  And a good sign.

  I only spent $70. But now I fear I need a new box to pack cross-stitches in!

  Otherwise, the weekend was uneventful but good. Full of multitudes of
  eating and coke consumption (bad me). Monday starts my full on Curves
  diet.

  Week 1: 1200 calories, 90 grams of carbs (which I originally wrote as
  crabs, which would be rather tasty and low in fat) – 6 meals a day.

  Basically, I’ll be eating every 2 hours or so. That’s a lot of meals.
  Wee little tiny ones. We’ll see how this first week goes – after this
  very restricted phase it jumps to 1600 calories and 130 carbs….
