Mojo - no no

I have lost it - my stitching Mojo. I have looked all over for it but can't find it anywhere. It's all the fault of that stupid wedding sampler, I hate it!! So I am going to start the ring pillow tonight. Maybe doing something new will get me going again.
I have also fallen in love with a very old design that I haven't paid any attention to in the past, Mirabilia's Deco Spirits. Now if I could get that kitted up and ready to go I think I would be stitching like a wild dervish, but I mustn't, I really must get the wedding sampler and ring pillow done. Not forgetting this years Christmas Stocking. I can't afford to lose my Mojo really can I? Imagine if I never got it back? What would I do with all that stash? It doesn't bear thinking about.
I am also dieting again, but I am not going to classes this time. It didn't work before did it, so what's the point of spending all that money? I have therefore spent even more money and bought some rather flash bathroom scales - I can't work them properly but I can at least weigh myself every week. I have lost 3lb since last Wednesday, so that's not too bad. Only a hundred or so more to go....
I have bought my Dad's 35mm SLR camera from him, not a digital as I prefer proper photos for things other than my stitching, but now I am too scared to even take the camera out of it's case!! I have a film ready and a new battery (which cost a flippin fortune) but it's all just sitting on the coffee table waiting for me to get my arse into gear.
Speaking of which, progress this week. I set the alarm clock and got up between 9 and 9.30 on both Saturday and Sunday, plus I didn't take my afternoon nap! Miraculous. I'll have to see how I cope this week; if there are going to be any effects I will feel them around Wednesday, I would guess. It was nice to feel I actually had a weekend and time to do stuff and I hope it continues. Just hate using an alarm clock on a weekend :-(
