After our third sweet little girl, Kierana, I had some post pardom blues (they seem to get worse after each child) and I started eating like crazy - everything in sight. Well, in February I decided things needed to change and I joined Weight Watchers and started trying to find ways I enjoyed exercising. I also realized I needed a stress reliever - something to do just for me and I could learn new things. I joked that I should take up balloon twisting, and then for my birthday last March my parents-in-law gave me a pump, bag of balloons and a beginers book for twisting balloons. I started twisting and I love it! I am even making a little money off of it by doing baloon boquets, like this one. I can do fun animals and theme displays. I am going to be twisting balloons at our ward's Halloween Carnival and I've done a convention and some birthday parties. Let's be clear though, I'm no clown, I'm a TWISTER! Oh - side note. I have lost 45 pounds since February and I've learned that I love spinning classes (biking) and I've even started to enjoy runing - I know it's crazy.

My hobby is "blossoming".

That is too cute!! I absolutely love it. We had so much fun seeing your new talent in action!
Good job on the weight loss. I love Weight Watchers. When we are both un-pregnant the end of 2009, we'll have to encourage each other!
