180.2 Making A List And Checking It Twice
So after I talked to Priscilla I followed my list for yesterday and completed everything. So what did I create? I put together a necklace and a funky bracelet. The necklace may be a gift, but I think I'll keep the bracelet for myself. What's really cool about the jewelry designing is how it happens. I had all of these elements in my stash but had never been moved to put them together in something wearable. It's one of those who knew moments!
List making may actually be in the genes, genes I didn't get so I have to train myself to make lists. But Jeff has always been a list maker and a very productive guy. Our son (a non-list maker) called last week to say that his youngest, Julien, had told him that they needed to make a list of all the things that needed to be done before he left for his first day of kindergarten. Ted has said more than once that raising Julien is like living with his father!
(Prill suggested I have a special little notebook to keep for my lists. I searched in my stuff and found a little journal with a great big W on the front. This journal had come in a grab bag as a "gift" from Michaels, the craft store. I had wondered when I saw it about what in the world I would do with it since I couldn't think of anyone I knew who would like it. But when I saw it yesterday I knew exactly what the W stood for. What in the World Will you do to make your life Worthwhile!)

175.4 Spelling Bee TV
This morning the spelling bee that Jeff has been working on for 2 months now was featured on a local TV program. He found out yesterday morning that it would be filmed today, and that he needed to get at least 12 folks, preferably in costume, to participate. I went along as a morale booster since I was the only one from my team that was available. A great moment was when a real bee decided to swoop around Jeff and the interviewer, Yetta. No, this was not planned! Here's the site to see the TV interview. Jeff did a great job planning this and talking about it today on TV along with the rowdy fun spellers!

So I'm thinking about today and how I probably would not have participated if I hadn't lost that weight! And, I would have missed out on so much fun. And, very few people involved even knew that I had been heavier so it wasn't about them. It was about me and how I feel about myself versus how I used to feel. I used to hide and miss out.
I have to remember these things as I continue to make peace with food and with myself.
