Ponderings

I'm assuming by now that everyone saw the plane crash yesterday. That was amazing!! When my Dad told me about it, the first thing I said was, "Someone else was flying that plane for him". We all know that training and experience really do kick in when an emergency strikes, but no man alone could have placed that plane in the Hudson River without killing or seriously injuring anyone.

One of the ferry drivers that was out on the water yesterday said that he was normally in that area during that time of day. He said he didn't normally arrive there until much later. Then he said (something to the effect of), "I know that God put me there so that my boat could be used to help save lives."

Some of the people actually took later flights to arrive in Charlotte yesterday/last night. I think I would have probably slept it off...then driven home! lol I don't know that I could have gotten on another plane so quickly!

God bless the pilot and the crew for doing so well. Thank God for a miracle!

Until next time........

Yes, this was a miracle. I was happy to hear everyone was all right for the most part. I believe God was flying that plane. He puts people where he wants them to be. Those people are truly blessed.

when my hubby told me about it, the first thing I said was "thank you Lord!" truly he was at the helm! I'm betting a lot of prayers were going up with passengers on board

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 ...
