Target got a bit of my money. I bought a new bathroom carpet for my guest bathroom and a full-length mirror for the 3/4 bath. The carpet is bright, sunny yellow - so pretty and happy. The room is small with yellow ceramic tiling, black and floral wallpaper and a floor of tile in pale tones of grey, yellow and blue. I have had a blue and white striped carpet in there for years, but it was disintegrating so it was time for a change. This one is a warm and sunny yellow and VERY soft. My feet approve!

| That's what I need to remember. Despite the weight, I'm still a pretty good looking XX-year-old broad! |
The mirror was something I have been wanting for many years. Now that I'm serious about losing weight I really wanted to be able to look at myself realistically, not in my mind's eye. The mind is a liar. My mind tells me that my body is a lot better looking than in reality. And even though I've lost weight, I have a long way to go. A truthful mirror is essential to my success. So I spent the money and bought a full-length mirror and mounted it on my door yesterday. DH hasn't seen it yet. He'll probably notice it this morning. He might pitch a fit because I put screws into the door, but if we sell the house, they can buy the mirror too. I think I could afford a new one if we were to move.
I was very careful at the grocer yesterday, figuring that I can pop back over again later in the week if I need to. I got two pounds of strawberries and a bag of oranges, but since I still had grapes I didn't pick up more of those. I did get chicken which I made for dinner. Yummy! It's the first time in weeks that my Wednesday grocery shopping has been less than $50. My funds are very limited this month, so that was a VERY good thing.

| The infamous "Plot Twist" - gotta love it! |
I had a fantastic talk with my friend Aearwen in the afternoon. We talk every week and it's always fun, but this time we delved into plot development, backstory fill-in and Point-of-View theories in several original fiction pieces that we are working on. We bounced ideas off each other, talked about particular issues and possibilities in plot twists and turns, and generally had such fun that I was very surprised when I checked my computer and realized I had been on the phone with her for more than an hour. I could easily have talked longer, but those chicken breasts don't cook themselves, so I had to sign off.

| Squeezing in some writing unfortunately did NOT come with an omelette attached, but it had its own rewards. |
I actually did get a bit of writing done yesterday too, although not as much as I wanted. My latest short story is being squeezed out one little bit at a time. I really want to get back to working on my latest o-fic instead, but I have to finish the short story first. Both of the stories are compelling to me and they are screaming at me from opposite sides of my head like two children calling for attention. *sigh* It's so unfair. After a few weeks of nothing knocking at my mental door, I now have two suitors calling for my time, each carrying gifts and flowers. Which to choose....

| I have a new bumper sticker for my car and my DH will be MOST upset with my putting it on, but I don't care! Gay Rights are Civil Rights and are LONG overdue. This has to pass! |
Finally, today is a very important vote for same-sex marriage rights in the state of Minnesota, so I'll be using the picture above as my avatar today and even though I haven't checked in on FaceBook for a couple of weeks, if I do I'll switch my pic there for the day also. Cross your fingers that this passes now - we need to extend true civil rights in all aspects to all of our populace.
