Cute Poem & Miscellaneous

Here's a poem I came across while packing this morning. When I worked in Burnsville, MN we were fortunate enough to have Weight Watchers meetings once a week during our lunch. The leader handed these out to all of us. I thought it was a very nice gesture since they were also laminated and ready to hang on the fridge as a motivator.

ONLY ONE POUND

Hello, do you know me? If you don't, you should.
I'm a pound of fat, and I'm the
HAPPIEST
Pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.
Want to know why?
It's because no one ever wants to lose me;
I'm ONLY ONE POUND
Just a pound!
Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five
pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.
So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you
never seem to notice it.
That is, until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty, or
even more pounds in weight.
Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT,
left to do as I please.
So, when you weigh in keep right on saying,
"Oh, I only lost one pound." (As if that were such a terrible thing.)
For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others
to keep me around because they'll think I'm
not worth losing. And, I love being around you -
your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips, and every part of you.
HAPPY DAYS!!
After all, I'm
ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!!

Here's a couple of other interesting notes:

A friend, Karen Howard, has designed a blog specifically for challenges. It's called Feline Playful. She lists the challenges going by day. I know it's going to be very helpful for me! Check it out if you get the chance.

Another cool tool I found is Scrap by Color. This will be very handy when trying to coordinate colors for a layout. I like that you can upload a photo. Check it out!

Have a great day!
