This book is killing me!
OK, I *SO* can't wait to get this thing published......because I'm using so many before and after pictures, people keep shrinking on me before I can get the book up. I suppose that is good because it is showing how successful the weight loss is....but man, hard to keep up. It is in editing now.....just need to add a few more things and we are ready for the publishing part!

What won't I leave home without?
OK, so I travel alot, and there are of course the obvious things I won't leave home without, like clothes and a toothbrush I think the question was asking about the 'other' stuff......things I won't leave home without include:
1) a knitting project or three......because, well......hello! How can you not have something to work on.
2) My kindle....I must have 40-50 books on there at any time. It has a three week battery when reading and I can hop from one type of book to another anytime, and can even send myself knitting patters to refrence on there. On top of that, the text to speach feature lets the thing read a book to me while I knit.....talk about multi-tasking!
3) Phone....ugh, also known as an electronic leash......If I don't stay connected, or at least have the illusion of being able to be reached in an emergency, I honestly can't relax.
4) A laptop/netbook and a way to connect. so much of my life is online at this point I've found ways to watch movies, read, write, and otherwise keep my mind and fingers occupied just about anywhere. In there I almost always have games and logic puzzles.
5) Some way to exercise. Sometimes it is as simple as a pair of shoes, sometimes a p90x DVD. no matter what, I almost always need to take some form of ability to exercise with me.
Now if you read the above, you will find one underlying theam - things that keep the mind occupied. It is a constant struggle with me to keep enough going on to keep all parts of my brain entertained at the same time, but it makes the world more fun.

Weight Loss Magic is on the Way!
Book is almost done!
I found a weight loss program that works almost as if it were magic, no exercise, no hunger, good food, no long term anything to do after the loss.....and it never comes back.....I've coached 50 people into losing over 2,000 pounds since March and we decided to write up the how to process. How could I not share something that is this fantastic, that works the way it is suppose to.....I'm so excited to be nearly done! Talk about Magic!

I've been claimed by a house!
Whoo Hooo, term starts tommorow and I've been claimed by a house - Harry's Horcrux Hunters! Great because I love the colors! Unfortunately, I'm traveling for the next two days, so getting to the family gathering is likely to be difficult at first, but I'll get there, never fear!
I'm working on a mystery sock for Sock Knitter's Anonymous, and I must say, while it is stunning.....it is probably one of the most difficult one's I've ever done......Woof! Can't wait to finish it.....and finish another xmas present sock, and then write up the 'winter' pattern, and then the Bobbie sock pattern.....and.....oh dear, I need to schedule stuff better. It will all work, I have faith. I may need to go talk to Harminie about that time turner.........
