Another Break from Everything!

I know I'm a little behind on getting the last two parts of my Christmas stuff up. I promise...I will get it up! (Hopefully THIS weekend!) We decided that since Chasity got new clothes and toys for Christmas, it was time to go through and purge the existing stuff in her room. It took two days to go through all her clothes. There are 3 big baskets full of stuff that will either go to Goodwill or be sold on eBay. (When I list them, I'll let you know!)

Then...we started on the toys. We worked for about 4 hours and only got through the Barbies, Dora, and the organizer with drawers. We haven't started on the toy box or the book case. Those could take forever! We should get those done today. Then we have to go through the stuff upstairs (storage) so that we can put the Christmas stuff back up until next year.

I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten to post anything! I just haven't gotten around to it! I can't wait to put the pictures from Christmas up for you all to see!

ONE MORE THING! Check out One Minute Writer again today. She's using another prompt I suggested! The prompt is to write about a resolution you are NOT going to make! (I decided to not make any this year... I always break them!) I haven't posted on her site yet, but I just wanted to remind you guys to head over there to check her out!

So...my response to her prompt today is....

I have decided that I'm not making ANY resolutions this year. I always break ALL of them. However...the main one that I will not make is to lose weight/get healthy. I made it last year and ended up gaining 80 lbs in the process. This year, I'm going to TRY to get healthy, but not making a resolution to do it!


I hope to write more soon.


Until next time........

I am looking forward to your blog on poetry. I love poems too and find them so much easier and shorter to write than other things. I have not made any resolutions yet, but I did post my comment on The One Minute Writer about which resolution I would not make.

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 ...
