Another overdue moleskine snapshot!

315:365 Missing Her on Flickr.

I miss my grandmother. I’m grateful to have known her, sad that I didn’t know her better before she died, and curious about what she would think of the Me I turned out to be.

I also REALLY wish she were still around to teach me embroidery. :)

321:365 Kitty Face on Flickr.

This cat will make you do things with her adorable eyeballs. Just try and refuse that face. I dare you. You can’t.

329:365 Thanksgiving Centerpiece on Flickr.

Jim picked this flowers to give his mom for Thanksgiving. :) I think he did a good job.

326:365 Poster Flattening on Flickr.

I flatten my posters with the following:

1. Criminology text from undergrad
2. Wind in the Willows
3. Star Trek Encyclopedia
4. My scrapbook from the 1990’s for the show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman

Yes. I own all of those things. BOOM.

332:365 Lots of Fudge on Flickr.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE AMAZING FUDGE I MADE? AMAZING, I TELL YOU.

1. Chocolate with almonds
2. Just delicious chocolate
3. CANDIED BACON FUDGE.

My co-workers don’t even know what’s coming. THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW.

319:365 Letter to Myself on Flickr.

Last week I got a letter from myself. My WeightWatcher leader, Barb, had us all write these a year ago and she mailed them out this month and it was a WONDERFUL surprise. I got a little teary, I’ll admit.

Don’t tell anyone. Click HERE for the entire letter (above is just one page).

316:365 Insurance Points on Flickr.

I’m saving $500 in 2012 on my health insurance because I got my shit together and became a healthier person.

YES. Monetary gain CAN be had by getting your skinny on. :)

317:365 Nano-liscious on Flickr.

Nanowrimo is really kicking ass this year. Grateful for the new people who’ve come on board and really jumped into this challenge with all of their energy. Grateful that my plot hasn’t collapsed in on itself like a dying star. Grateful for the time away from other things I don’t want to have too much time to think about, like the holidays approaching. More on that some other time.

308:365 Rings Re-Sized 3.75 on Flickr.

So, the Friday after my weigh-in that earned me my Lifetime membership at WeightWatchers, I almost lost my engagement ring at work because it nearly slipped off of my finger.

I had the rings resized a few months ago to 4.25 when I thought I was done shrinking, but apparently they needed to be made smaller (3.75).

I was nervous because my hands have never been smaller than a 4, but the jeweler said a person’s hands also shrink as they get older, so it makes sense that my normal ring size is smaller at 30 than it was at 20.

They’re still loose in the cold, but don’t come off and fit fine when my hands are warm.

Just a little weight loss milestone after I thought I wouldn’t be having another one for a while. :)

310:365 Soaked Kitty on Flickr.

Kitty is so incredibly unhappy on the rare occasions when she’s given a bath, but it’s one of the cutest times in the world to cuddle her, all wrapped inside a towel.

301:365 Cleaning the Office on Flickr.

Sometimes beautiful things come from from ugly people. Put this away in a box recently.

299:365 Week 42 Moleskine Snapshot on Flickr.

Quiet week with a busy, friend-filled weekend. :) Good week.
