30% of Goal - and Driving Tips

This weekend, surprisingly, I hit my 30% of goal, or 30 pounds lost. I was surprised as the week before I hadn't lost a pound. But that is sometimes what happens, you'll go a week without losing a thing then bam, lose 5 pounds the next week. I'm in that frustrating size now that is between the "women's" department and the "misses" department. My tops need to be misses, my lower half is too small for women's but not small enough for misses. I can go one size lower in women's, but then the pants are usually too short. But it will work out eventually and for now I can manage with what I have, although I do have to purchase some jeans here shortly for our little vacation we are taking.

Now Driving Tips. This morning I was infuriated but a woman who was putting on mascara while driving. Ladies, really! This is not safe. Its not smart. Its just plain stupid. So here is my list of things not to do while driving.

1. Text Message
2. Put on Make-up of any sort, but especially eye makeup!
3. Knit, no matter how simple the pattern
4. Read (including text messages and e-mails)
5. Write
6. Eat anything that requires silverware (yep, onetime I saw someone eating a salad while driving)
7. Search through a purse, bookbag, briefcase, etc. (I admit, I'm occassonally guilty of this, I will stop!)
8. Crochet
9. Watch television or a portable DVD player
10. Punish your children.

If you must do any of these things, please please pull over. Its safer for you and for me.

I will now get off my soapbox.
