just a measure of my neurosis

I keep one of these at the computer so I can measure my girls for a cute outfit/shoes I might "win" for them on ebay.

Because what else would I use it for ~ to measure fabric? If that crossed your mind, you must be new to this blog ~ welcome.

(I'm sure it was originally purchased to measure various body parts. And drink a SlimFast and remeasure. Because SlimFast does just what it says... to make you slim. fast.)

I wasn't the least bit surprised when I found Macy measuring Paige's waist and length (from the top her her shoulder).

Then when she was done, she went on to iron her dress.

Apparently, she's seen me do both of these things a time or two...

My children rarely leave the house without creases in their sleeves and even play clothes ironed. Even to go to the gym.

I had a friend email me and ask if I was still going to the gym b/c I hadn't blogged about it lately. That's like asking me if I drank a Dr. Pepper today. Because I'm not talking about it, doesn't mean it's not happening. It is, I just don't bore you with the details.

I'll end with a funny story about ebay. I first time I won something, I was all excited and telling Gregg, "I won! I won!" He informed me, that I hadn't won anything~ I still had to pay for it!
