The Weekend's Here Again!

Addendum to Below Post: I'm not sure, but this might be a little funny. Sharon says it is, anyway. I got in some trouble before for not warning you, and I have personal knowledge of stuff like litigation, so please don't choke on your Cherrios or asphyxiate on your Diet Coke. Then again, maybe it's not funny--Sharon tends to laugh a lot, so you never really know.

It's Friday night, and the weekend's here again! I know it was a short work week for those of us who had Monday off for Labor Day, but a couple tough days at work made for a week that seemed extremely L000000000NG! Yep, by the time Friday rolled around, this gal didn't feel quite so much like skipping, believe me! Well, until my husband greeted me at the door tonight with a Starbuck's iced latte! Wooo-hooo! (Don't tell him, but I had one at lunch too!)

And now a bit about me. Okay, yes, I DO know this whole blog is about ME, ME, ME, but this is personal stuff. I know some of you are anxiously following my beauty routines, right? Maybe someday I'll write a book entitled "Kim's Big Beauty Adventure," you'll all buy it, and I'll become rich! In the meantime, I'll pass along a few tips.

My big plan for this weekend's Saturday day-of-beauty is to clip my toenails. I was going to do it last weekend, but my eyebrows were getting a mite bushy, so I decided to switch plans. So, yes, this weekend my toenails will get their day. What to do, though, when you discover a chin hair as you're driving home from work? Do you put the toenails off for another week?

I don't do the Fly Lady thing, but I know lots of people who do, and it's my very vague understanding that the concept is to do a little bit at a time on a regular schedule, isn't it? So, with that in mind, I made the momentous decision that I could actually pluck the chin hair on FRIDAY NIGHT so I wouldn't be faced with too many beauty tasks all at once on Saturday. Brilliant, yes?

My blog posts have been noticeably and seriously devoid of photos for the past few days. I sure wish I had thought to take a photo of the plucked chin hair! Maybe I'll remember to photograph the toenail clippings tomorrow--that should draw a lot of traffic to my blog!

Okay, another thing about ME! I'm not one to bore you to death with the progress of my diet on a daily basis, but hey! This is my blog and I can do what I want! So I think I'll compromise and just occasionally bore you to death with my diet progress. Deal? So here's the exciting news: Today I put on a top that was fitting pretty snug before the diet, and now it's fitting pretty loose. Cool, huh?! It's good to see progress.

I don't think weighing is a good idea for me, so the only way I can really tell that I'm losing weight is by the fit of my clothes. If I weigh myself, I think it makes me concentrate too much on the whole "diet" aspect rather than the idea that I'm involved in a change of my lifestyle and eating habits. (Should I include this gem of wisdom in "Kim's Big Beauty Adventure," I wonder?)

Okay, so enough of the really personal stuff. What's on the agenda for the weekend? My husband has to work tomorrow and I think he's getting together with a friend in the evening, so I have some serious quilting plans. What a slacker I've been on the Hometown Christmas project! Not much of a role model for the other bloggers who are participating, but I hope to remedy that this weekend and get started. Yes, I DID get my kit dug out earlier in the week and the fabric has been sitting on my sewing table, but I've been in the living room most evenings, working on some applique. So, this weekend I'll get my Hometown Christmas commitment done and continue the applique I've been working on. By the end of the weekend, I hope to have more to show you than toenail clippings. Oh, and just in case you were wondering/worried/concerned/frightened, no, there's just no way I'm going to photograph nose hairs. But, if you really feel you need to see them, you can always wait and buy my book!
