BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Self Development What are you doing today?

Hello.

I was just wondering how everyone is, and what you are doing?

We have quite the snow storm today so just about everyone is stuck in their house. You can't even shovel the snow because it's too windy and it would just blow back.

I have my knitting projects but there's been a lot of that lately. I get bored and sometimes lonely, so i'm taking a break and trying to straighten the house.

I might make some christmas cookies. I bent a cookie cutter into the shape of a sweater for my knitters! I thought then i could decorate them with icing in patterns.

What are you up to?

same thing here holly. No sense in shoveling because its right back where it was when we began. So I am locking us in the house, putzing around on the computer, watching tele, and cooking a ncie pot roast with winter root vegies.

ooooo... i can almost smell your pot roast!!!

What have you found on the tele? I had it on, but mostly for noise.

i am watching the finale of Survivor China ;0)

And the roast is smelling all tooooooo good. Getting ready tot ake it out of the oven and eat it LOL

I'm watching television now while knitting a scarf for my father for christmas, in some lovely grey-blue Merino yarn.

Did you read Barbara's new articles? They are really good.

I am working.

I love the photos that come with those quotes on WishAFriend!

Today i am finishing a scarf for my dad, and I want to wrap the gifts for him and his wife and put them in a shipping box.

I also have my calligraphy tools out to make the two things i need to get to a gallery owner. I'm just trying to work on my projects these days and get as much done as i can. I've been averaging 1 - 3 a day, so that's really cranking them out.

And i've been thinking a lot about my life and the new year, and trying to figure out what to do next.

What are other people up to?

Watching t.v and stuffing my face, im on steroids for my asthma and have an uncontrollable hunger, one of the many side effects, i'm not getting my mail today because the city housing where i lived hasn't plowed us out from the weekend storm, so i'll just be doing what i do well (nothing)

Aww. You need a hug! (((hug)))

You might try drinking a cup of tea every hour or so to help curb your appetite. I've heard some people say that a little bit of lemon juice and hot water really helps you feel full. When you are able to get to the shops, there is also a tea called Yerba Mate which definitely helps curb appetite. It's been used in central and south america for decades at least.... just one caution, it's a stimulant, so don't drink it at night as it will keep you up! I had a house mate of Cuban descent a few years ago, who used to use it to stay alert while studying for finals at college, but her mother uses it to keep her figure.

You'll feel better if you do something today... what could you do? Clean house? Read a book? Home make gifts? Plan how you would like the New Year to be for you? Surf the internet for online educational programs?

Thanks Holly,
