			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I went a little crazy a few days back and was cleaning out our closet. Trying to purge! One of my secret [not anymore, obviously] resolutions was to simplify my crap and organize what I do keep. I think I&#8217;d use more of my stuff if I had it organized and in a place where I would use it. Anyway, the point is that I found some pajama pants. Dubble Bubble, Oscar Mayer Weiner and Oscar The Grouch. I love them and want to remember them but I don&#8217;t wear them so&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misterpink/2230079140/" title="PJ Pants Throw by misterpink82, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2289/2230079140_ac48834966.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="PJ Pants Throw" style="border: solid 4px #000;" align="center" /></a></p>
<p>I got them together and started hacking away at them with my very awesome <a href="http://www.fiskarscrafts.com/tools/t_no-8-softouch-scissors.aspx" target="_new">fabric shears</a>. I promise, those scissors are the greatest thing ever. They have some spring action goin&#8217; on and make it almost effortless to cut through fabrics. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, pajama pants. So I cut out 11&#8243; squares of these three pajama pants. I also cut out 11&#8243; squares of some of the same type of fabric in pink because I figured my faux-quilt or fuilt if you will, needed some solid in there with all of those busy patterns.</p>
<p>I sewed all of these together (about 42 squares total) and then sewed them to the back of a dark grey fleece throw that I had layin&#8217; around. Thus creating the fuilt throw that you see above! The great thing I absolutely love about this is that one side is soft and cool, while the other side [fleece] is warm and fuzzy. It is a great contrast and I think I&#8217;ll probably end up using it a LOT! And since doing this I have really sparked my creativity and passion for making quilts or throws. I want to go buy a bunch of fleece and start throwin&#8217; these badboys together! Good times and horrible carpal tunnel pain.</p>
<p>On The Wedding front, I have designed my invitations, I think. I&#8217;m taking them to mama&#8217;s house tonight to get her opinion or suggestions. I think my first draft is actually going to be my final! And how I love that so much&#8230; Now I need to design the Reply Cards and I think I will be all set for that. I&#8217;ll post my final design once I get them all complete and in the mail. What else? Hmm.. I changed my flower to the cala lily. Which I love and I&#8217;m totally excited about! I bought a few light pink lilies that were on the clearance shelf at Hobby Lobby to take to the wedding planner to see if she wants/can use them. They&#8217;re adorable and I&#8217;m sure they can be useful somehow!</p>
<p>Stomache is feeling better but I would definitely say that today was a rough day at work. There is so much stuff piled up on my desk right now and it made for a pretty stressful day. Not to mention, I had the Mother of All Headaches today for at least 2+ hours.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So this morning I browsed a few blogs in the dieting/weight loss category and got the much needed inspiration I&#8217;ve been looking for. I am so happy right now. I feel so good about it. Yeah I ate way too many Conversation Hearts this morning and way too many Sour Cream &#038; Onion Rice Crackers (which are actually really low in fat and calories, but I ate TOO MANY). But I feel a lot better. For lunch I am going to run home and eat some leftovers from the fridge and just relax. I&#8217;m really excited to get back into this whole dieting thing. I really don&#8217;t even want to consider it a diet.. It needs to be much more of a lifestyle change than anything. The word diet in this day and age seems so temporary. Like a quick fix. I want to be healthy! I don&#8217;t just want to lose weight, I want to be a healthy person.</p>
<p>One of my biggest motivations is that I really would like to extend our family in the next few years and I really want to be as healthy as I can before I do that. So here it goes.. I&#8217;ll try to post regularly about how I&#8217;m feeling and how it&#8217;s going.</p>
