a good life & my middle name
Ah, it's Friday * Life is good * Fall is finally here with cooler temps and lower humidity * I have nothing planned for the weekend other than Lily's soccer game on Sunday * I'm at my lowest weight in over two years * I have a bunch of unused Weight Watcher Weekly points (splurge!) * My second scarf is almost complete (thanks for the yarn, Elizabeth!) * There's a bunch of new fabrics and craft books on their way to my house * I'm wearing a new pair of jeans (in a smaller size) * Tonight is take out night * Tomorrow morning I get to sleep past 5:30 am * Yes, life is good.
A while back Gerry tagged me with the middle name meme. I procrastinated because I have a long middle name, which required lots of thinking. Here it goes, my middle name is Elizabeth:
E - Eat. I like LOVE to eat. I'm not picky either.
L - Lily, my first baby, the one who made me a Mom. Lilies are also my favorite flower.
I - Indecisive. I hate this about me. I wish I could more easily decide on things. I think I'm indecisive because I have such a broad range of things that I like. Yeah, that's it!
Z - Zesty? I like foods that are zesty.
A - Alex and Ava, my two youngest [active] babies. The two of them keep things interesting, for sure.
B - Brown. Boring, maybe, but it's my favorite color.
E - Easy going, that's me. I'm very much a go with the flow kind of person. It takes a lot to ruffle my feathers and I rarely hold a grudge. None of that it worth it to me.
T - Taurus, my zodiac sign. I'm a Taurus through and through.
H - Home, it truly is where my heart is. I feel like my home is a reflection of me. I try to make it as comfortable and welcoming as I can for myself and others. I think I'd rather be home than anywhere else.
Okay, that thoroughly sucked. I'm not tagging anybody, but if you want to play along, feel free.
Have a great weekend!!
Enjoy your weekend - and a huge round of applause for the weight loss. Go you.

That was great & I love the bit about home :o) Fab weight loss! I seem to be going in the opposite direction. Enjoy your weekend xx

I always love reading all the happies! Our temps go down to 82 again tomorrow. Hooray! And your scarf looks great (need to put that dratted skein of yarn in the mail...).
I think you did just great on your middle name - you sound like a fun person to be around. Easygoing homebodies are just my speed.

Congrats on the weight loss! I love hearing success stories like yours - I'm seriously thinking about going back to Weight Watchers so I can get my weight back under control.
BTW, I LOVE the name Elizabeth - it's always been one of my favorites.

Hey, great middle name ;) The scarf looks good. I'm glad you like the yarn. Isn't that one so soft?

It didn't suck! I think you did a great job. Especially with that long name. Zesty.
Posted by: Renee | October 12, 2007 at 09:31 AM
Brown? I like brown, it has it's place especially in combinations (like with baby blue, or mint green), and definitely when it is the colour of coffee, or chocolate... but i have never met anyone whose favourite colour is brown. Neat!

i have two middle names--so i won't be doing that exercise any time soon! so excited for new jeans, what a great feeling?! i am super indecisive too, but i think that is due to by libra-ness.

I love the colour of your scarf. Now that the weather is cooler you might just be able to wear it.
Have a great weekend and enjoy those extra points!

Getting a meme like that would make me glad my middle name is Mary, but you did great!! Congrats on the weight loss and I love the new blog header pic!!
Posted by: Steph | October 14, 2007 at 01:11 AM
LOVE those enormeous knitting needles!!!! Now that's the way to knit a scarf haha. I'm not loosing any weight at all at the moment, too much mental stuff going on, can't deal with both at the same time unfortunately :-((
Posted by: Brigitta | October 14, 2007 at 03:43 AM
I have extra weekly points left over this week too. What are you splurging on? Have any great WW recipes you'd like to share? :)
Also, your scarf inspired me to knit again. I haven't knitted in years. Yours looked so warm and cozy that I headed out right to the store and got some new yarn and some new needles. I've been looking all over for a good pattern. What are you using?
Posted by: Audrey | October 14, 2007 at 06:02 PM
Hey I'm a Taurus too. Loyal to a fault and very, very, stubborn.
Posted by: Tinkerblue | October 14, 2007 at 11:51 PM
Not boring. Didn't suck. And Congrats on your weigh loss -- just in time for a little holiday splurging??? ;-)
