Okay, happy Monday! I'm back with a few more things I love about myself:

5) I love that I've said aloud that I'm running a 5k this year
6) I love that I can crochet and knit with ease
7) I love that I come from a family of trombone players & get to jam w/ my Dad and nerfew every once in a blue moon

Love Love Love

Happy February Bebehs!

In honor of February being the month of love, I figured I'd write here one thing I love about myself daily.

1) I love how easily I can pick up moves in Jazzercise.
2) I love that my collarbones show up when I'm working out & breathing in through my nose.
3) I love my nose. It really is perfect!

The 2nd month of classes have been posted for HPKCHC and I've got big plans, my friends!

Also, you may have noticed that it's been a bit quiet around here of late. Here's why:

• I've started a fitness blog It may have more than you ever really wanted to know about me and my battles against fluffyness. For my friends and family members, it's my candid discussion of excess weight that has plagued me for most of my life. Consider yourself forewarned.
• I've been knitting and crocheting a lot. And I like it that way. I like it better than blogging about it.
• Money is tight, my caseload is low, and this has never happened before...EVER. I'm quietly freaking out.

Okay, that's all for now. Happy Thursday, y'all!
xo, fru

Howdee y'all, and happy last day of the month!

I'm happy to report that I managed to crank out at least 8 projects for the Harry Potter Knitting/Crochet House Cup and am super excited about the awesome things that I managed to start and finish this month!

New classes go up tomorrow and I'm grateful for a later start so I can make notes on the projects that I want to get done.

The month has flown by and I am ready for warmer weather. Here's a pic of the latest things I've made:
And lastly, a quick and heart felt thank you to those of you who have been kind enough to donate to my upcoming misadventures to CampKIP!

Y'all rock and I am ever so grateful!

Why I want YOUR moneh!

I've done a lot of thinking lately and came to some tough decisions regarding my future as a podcaster.

Just like it takes a village to raise lil' ones, it kinda needs to take a cyber-village to keep this lil' podcaster around. On my last episode in late December, I shared about my main resource: energy. And since I'm a therapeutic ninja, that requires most of my energy. I fully understand that this is my choice and I take responsibility for that. However, with many things in life, how I chose to spend my energy isn't as simple as an "either/or" set up..it's really more of an "and" set up, if you catch my drift.

For example, I refuse to put myself into a position of "Either I spend my energy podcasting or I spend my energy being a therapeutic ninja". One of the greatest things about being an adult is the flexibility I try to afford myself to do as much as I can with the little resources...er..limits possible. Hence, "I'd like to spend my energy podcasting AND I'd like to continue to be a therapeutic ninja".

Thus, the difficult decision was made on my part to put my sparkly-bedazzled-pank-cyber hat out and ask anyone who would like to contribute to the ongoing misadventures of sillyfru and Sassypants Knitter Podcast. Anyone who knows me personally knows that I don't ask for help readily, but the reality is that it does cost money to run a podcast. I've been very happy with podbean, my hosting site, but I do have to pay $$ to maintain it. The other non-quantifiable cost is time..and it does take time..and lots of it. Any monies donated will go towards the cost of paying for gas to get me up to Charlotte, and long term parking for a few days.

Okay, I think I've blogged enough about this. Oh, and before I forget:

I'm launching a new blog that is going to be soley focused on my health..you can find it at:

Head over there if you want to help me remain accountable to myself and the universe as I maintain my 50 lbs loss and hopefully lose a bit more.

That's all I got for now, Fru-out!
