I agree - use it or lose it!

Thanks for the pep talk, but my situation was different this morning: I am normally up at 5 am to go to Curves then off to work for 3 hours. So this morning I slept in until 7 am, went on the quilt board as I did 2 loads of laundry, went to breakfast as i read Jennifer Chiaverini's book "Sugar Camp Quilt", went to pay our Comcast bill, then off to JoAnn fabrics. I would say I got my exercise in today and I still am not done. Two more loads of laundry, hopefully get to see my grandchildren (I missed them yesterday, out of town), then to dinner for Valentine's Day. Yippee!

So a little of the snake that bit me. Will have the top finished today! Just a little reminder to change those needles and clean out the bobbin area before we start today. Everytime you get up to empty the bladder stretch, touch those toes(or knees)! Arms over the head....and stretch...Dont it feel good!? I think we get so caught up in sewing that we forget about us. Prevention on us and our machines, one wont work without the other. Turn the radio on...(micheal jackson) "ABC...Its as easy as Do-re-me..
Ok now sit in sewing chair grab the seat on the left side with both hands and twist your upper half to the left...stretch....hold it....lets do the other side.....stretch...feels good. Ok now put the peddle to the metal and lets get these stitches-a-stomping!
Have a great day! Happy Stitching!

Thanks for a wonderful laugh y'all! Did you know that laughing is a great way to lose some weight? Also, it helps with mental health. Thanks again for all the comments, I feel SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better!
