I just finished this Michael's Make Market summer diamond painting called Colorful Street. So far these are the 4 summer ones I've made out of the 13 I bought. I have 9 more to go.

I finished this Sunflower Bouquet diamond painting by Make Market from Michael's last night. It took almost 3 weeks to make. I took 2 pictures and I'm sharing both of them. One was taken on my bed last night in a dark bedroom with the flash, and the other was taken outside this morning in the sun.

You know how when someone says like "you were hoping for this but you ended up getting the Wish or the Temu version"? Well, I was looking on Temu for Minecraft diamond painting and this came up and I thought OMG that is hilarious. I have to have it. So I bought it and here it is.

The Nook finally added a reading steak (that I'm just now seeing for the first time today). I've been reading on my Kindle from about 11pm until 12:30 or so at night before bed, so I'll have to start reading my Nook books to get a streak going there too. I have plenty of Nook books waiting for me.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far..... FAR away, I had a 30" waist. And then I quit smoking and gained a lot of weight and eventually my waist grew past 40". We're trying on new clothes and I am now buying shorts with a 34" waist. I am so close to being a 30" waist again, hopefully.

Thankfully, my man boobs have disappeared with my weight loss. I saw someone yesterday who commented on my weight loss and I said you can see it more in my face, and he said I see it in the chest.

I made a banana cream pie for Thanksgiving using Jell-o banana cream pie pudding. Tonight I made the same exact thing, but with the sugar-free version and it tasted exactly the same. The one at Thanksgiving had a lot of guilt attached to it. The one I made tonight has no guilt attached to it lol.
