Christmas--part 1

So I'm sure that in the next couple of weeks, I will be blogging about Christmas. I love Christmas! (Oh yeah...covered that already!) So, last night we finally put up the Christmas tree! Well... we didn't actually get the whole thing done. The three is up. The lights are on. There's no garland on it. There are no ornaments on it! So, technically, we don't have the tree "up" yet! My munchkin has dance on Thursday nights. She's taking jazz, tap, and ballet this year, so we don't get out of class until 7:30pm. Last night, they had their class Christmas party, so it was almost 8pm when we got home. Not bad! We started with the tree then. However, when the pizza arrived we had to stop to eat. By then, it was 9pm. Munchkin goes to bed at 9pm so she'll get up at 6:30am! We were going to just leave the ornaments for tonight, but then we decided to leave the garland and ornaments till tonight.


At the moment, the tree looks like this!! Lights and a tree skirt! Want to know the cool thing about that tree skirt? That was a gift to us our first Christmas together. We have been using since our 2nd Christmas! Tony's mom gave us that tree skirt! Actually, it was more of a thing of we were walking through Wal-Mart together and looking at Christmas stuff...she asked if we had one, and we told her that our mini village was around the tree (with the fluffy white stuff to look like snow--you'll see it later as we will probably put it out this year)!! So she said that every tree should have a skirt... and she let us pick it out! So we did!


Last night however when we were attempting to put up the tree and stuff, I decided to put the tree skirt on our daughter! It was so cute that I had to get a picture! Or course, she's a ham in front of a camera so the picture looks as though she is curtsying for royalty! She was too cute in it! I wish I could find skirts like this for her! I love it! (Ok.. I would want them to be completely made and not tie in the back, but still!)


So after dancing in the tree skirt around the room, she decided that she wanted to be the tree. NO! She didn't go stand by the tree and pretend she was a tree. Nope...that would have been too normal! She decided to lay in the tree box (which was way too short) and claim that we needed to stand her up and decorate her! I took a picture and left her in the box!

So ends the first night of decorating in our world! Tonight should prove to be even more interesting! We have ornaments to put on! Then we have to do the other stuff at the house! I'm really glad it's Christmas. The season really brings out the kid in all of us (ok... MOST of us!)
Until next time.....

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
