This about says it all.

This cartoon was too good for me not to post. Because really, for those of us trying to drop some weight or just make ourselves healthy, who hasn't felt this way after stepping on the effing scale?

Tomorrow I'm going to try something new. Yes, I said NEW! And heck, it's going to require me getting out of bed before 11 a.m. on a Saturday. Shudder. I'm taking a knitting class at this wonderful little store downtown called Uncommon Threads. They offer beginning classes Saturday mornings (obviously) and Wednesday evenings (but since that's hockey night that was out of the question). When I spoke to one of the owners yesterday about the details I was told since I was a beginner she reccommended I stay for the full two hours. Boy do those people have their work cut out for them. I tried learning from my mother when I was in high school. But since I'm stubborn and have a bit of a temper (as does my mother, goes along with the Irish heritage) I never really picked it up. She got me started on a little project and I eventually just gave up after a few weeks. This time I will prevail over the knitting needles! I will be the yarnmaster!
