I’ve been hearing some rumors about how you can lose weight on a cookie diet!  I’ve never heard of that one before!  If I could lose weight on a cookie diet, and if the cookies tasted good and filled me up so that I wasn’t hungry right off, I think I’d be very interested in checking that diet out!  I have a sweet tooth like you wouldn’t believe!  I was reading that the “Smart for life” diet program that involves cookies helps weight loss by speeding up your metabolism.

I have to wonder what is in the diet that speeds up your metabolism, and I wonder if there are any health risks involved in that.  According to their website, the cookies are made with all natural products and are free of toxins and preservatives.  I’ve always been suspicious of diet foods – there either isn’t enough there, or they have too much fiber in them and I end up suffering with stomach distress.  But I was reading that this is not a diet program where you have to commit for a long period of time to the program, you can just buy pre-packaged “kits” so you only buy what you like.  I sure wish that they gave out free samples, though!

I got an email from my sister N today, asking me if I would be willing to make a quilt out of old T-shirts for some friends of hers.  I assume that they are willing to pay to have it done!  So I said yes, I’m interested in doing it.  I wonder how many T-shirts they have, and what size quilt that they are going to want made?   I’ve made a lot of quilts out of woven fabric, but none out of knit fabrics; I think that T-shirts are knit aren’t they?  So it will prove interesting to see what they have and how it goes!
