That is not a down on myself either. Just a simple person. I really do like myself and maybe when some of my larger projects are completed as I finally got the Umph back to tackle them, I will then go back to the sewing.
I've been staying away from the cooking because all of this helped me lose 40 lbs and I don't want to put it back on, even though I love to cook. But I'm not an eater, I'm a taster.
TIF,
Yes when you see changes it makes you change as well. Which is why if he wants to know, I tell him. Of course I prefer it over the snooping and possible misunderstandings it might bring. Especially since my H has a tendency to just mull it over in his mind until he decides what whatever it was means/is and then no matter what I do or say, even if I have black and white proof (like a bank statement) he doesn't believe it. So the most mysterious thing I really do is take a bath without telling anyone I'm going to do it. Maybe I should step that up a little.
