It's Over...

Wow! That's sounds a little more final than it is I guess. The semester is over! I finished my last paper yesterday at about 8pm. I submitted it. Now I just have to wait for grades. The way I fugure it, and I have been figuring it, I should have all A's this semester. I worked really hard to get A's so that I can have a 4.0 for the semester. I'm hoping to have a 4.0 for all my Graduate School work. That way in the top of my Grad School class! (Yes, I want people to notice me!)

We have sold two things on eBay. First we sold the black pants... Today, someone bought a cute (brand new) purple snowsuit. It's adorable. Chasity has one just like it! Next year, we will probably have to get rid of Chasity's. The one I sold was given to us and it was REALLY small when we got it. However... we already had one in the correct size. I just have to hope it still fits. If not, I guess I could list it this year!

Well... the eBay money is going to help pay for Christmas presents. Tony went back to 40 hour weeks so we don't have the extra that we did have. Before, Tony was working 50+ hours a week and anything over 40 was gravy. We were hoping it would keep up, but things have slowed down. He might get to work this weekend... of course, when there are things happening that we want him at!

I love Christmas! Tony isn't so crazy about it. That was one thing he somehow avoided getting from his mom! She loved Christmas. Shoot! She loved ALL holidays! She loved any reason to shop and decorate! Or... maybe it was just the shopping! Anyways, I don't know how Tony missed the holiday gene. His brother didn't get it either. I guess maybe his sister got it; I'll let you know if I ever get to meet her!

Tonight, we have promised Chasity that we are FINALLY going to put up the tree. So, after dance tonight, we are coming home and we are going to put up the tree! I love it! I can't wait! Santa is already on the porch and we plug him in at night. I would love to put some lights outside, but I am afraid of heights, and like I said Tony didn't get the holiday gene from his mom! LOL

So, I guess I will be happy with Santa on the porch.... unless Chasity can convince her dad to put lights out! Not tonight of course because it's raining too much! We'll see. Maybe he can do it tomorrow evening. I'll hold the lights while he climbs and hooks them! If not, we will still have Santa on the porch! lol

I hope to get some pictures up soon of the house after we get everything decorated. I'll just have to wait and see if I remember to do that!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!! It's the best time of year!

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 ...
