WEEKENDING

I try to keep it real.
don't have time to
worry about what I'm
projecting to the world.
I'm just busy being myself.

~Demi Lovato

Like most of the country
we are experiencing a warm
front here in the south
with temperatures in the
mid 70's, making it
perfect for browsing the
waterfront stores looking
for the perfect gift to
give those I love. And I
found another little
'something-something'
to giveaway to you next
week, after my bird giveaway
is drawn. Don't you just
love this time of the year?!

I finished my last
Annabel
cardigan and am now busy
on fingerless gloves and a
few scarves. I am feeling much
better about my time frame
and really do think I can cross
all the items from my list. I
also read this, and it really
helped put things into perspective.

I have managed every day to
exercise with Crossfit Mama's
[thanks Ivey] and even though
I have discovered stomach muscles
I didn't know I had, I am feeling
so good about myself.  I am
on Day 9 of my second Whole30
and going strong. If you are
thinking about trying it yourself,
I really do recommend the
book, It Starts with Food. While
the website contains a lot of
information, I learned quite a bit
from the book I would have
missed otherwise.

Now I am off to finally get my
Christmas cards written, prepare
a special dinner for the start of
Advent and just enjoy a beautiful
Sunday afternoon and I hope
the same for you!

Linking with Amanda.

  3. EEEK! Christmas cards! I haven't gotten on those yet. Hopefully this week!
    I have seen that chart before... sadly, knit the gift is often the option for me, simply because I have stash and don't have to spend more money on a new gift!

  8. you have almost convinced me the whole30 is the way to go.....so typical of me to start something like this during a holiday with more temptations than usual around!!!

    so glad your knitting is under control!!!! you are going to finish with days to spare!!! (loved the Franklin Habit grid!!!)

  9. We are in the midst of a little warm up too. We had snow when we went to bed last night and this morning the rain had taken it all away. Reece was a little sad about. I have to admit it was nice to be out without a coat today :)

    Happy to hear your holiday knitting is going well. Love the knit worthy chart :)

    Enjoy your week Tracey.

  10. Sounds like your projects are coming along. We are still too warm here is Arizona...I could do with a cool-down.
    Enjoy your week.

  11. It sounds like a great weekend! It's been warm here too. I'm so glad you are feeling in a better place with your Christmas knitting! I put the book you suggested on hold at the library but it's going to be awhile before i get it! There are only 3 in the state and I'm 15 on the list! I hope you have a good week!

  14. I have mixed feelings about this warm weather. I'm enjoying it but also missing the snow. Not that we get much. Sounds like your weekend was pretty amazing.

  16. Are your winters always warm? You are so productive!
    Thank you for thinking of me during the three storms. We were okay; just lots of rain. Of course there are idiots out there who drive like they're NASCAR. But we've just started a dry stretch so hooray!
    I love Demi Lovato. She's a cutie and sings very well.
