These must be from the Career Barbie collection!   

Will look forward to seeing pictures of the other outfits.

I made a pair of fun PJ pants to take with me on the Novi trip -- it was nice to take a break today to make something that had no zippers, ruffles, or buttons -- although I did make two buttonholes in my casing for the ribbon.

The pants fabric was chosen to go with a bargain t-shirt -- more details are on my blog.

Oh, so cute!  I would love to have that outfit for myself.  Good job, Kathryn.

I hope you'll ignore the hot pink shoes - I got her on eBay and that is how she came.  I've made 2 outfits (don't ask what I think about that red print - like making a blouse out of chiffon - and I made one of those for me also).  In any case, they are ready to be boxed and sent to Kat for inclusion in the show if she wants them.

Good luck on the workouts Kelly - I am sure that you will look fabulous at the fall conference! I hope to be another 25# lighter also. That makes me in the realm of smaller, just more flab than fab right now, unfortunately. However, I am continuing to swim and walk more, so hopefully things will get better on this end too. Keep us posted!

As Will Smith said in "Men in Black", "I gotta get me one a dose!"

This must be the week for fat revelations:   I began life with a trainer today.  He is certified in the physical and nutritional aspects of getting where you need to be.  As I explained my gut surgery from two years ago, he told me it was no surprise to him that I was not regulating fat as well as I used to.  No Gall Bladder and most of the Duodenum gone means the main fat regulating organs are gone, therefore, I just hang on to the fat I eat.  Added to that the eight major scars I have on my abdomen, and I have the perfect storm situation for feeling awful and looking almost as bad.

I have devoted the next three months to him and will be able to accomplish more than before because I will be accountable to someone other than me.  Not only does he send text messages reminding me of our next appointment, my daughter is a workout devotee, and I am just determined to make the most of the money I just plunked down!

Oh....Kat, that means yet another day of measuring me at Fall Seminar.  Maybe it won't take so long because of less to measure?  heeheeheee

Let's show 'em somethin, ladies!!

Looks good!

I know it is frustrating about the medical problems. I still am having problems with 30 years of being fat, and being told I MUST be eating too much, when the medicine that I was prescribed causes the liver to not function well, and contributes to weight gain and retention. You would think that commonsense would have kicked in there somewhere! Sorry for the crab - but I resent the lost time and the embarrassment and the tiredness, etc. At least we both are getting better!

Sweet!
