Updates...

I guess some of you have noticed that I have made some changes to my site. In case you are wondering why, let me tell you.

1. I have the "Pray for Kaleigh" button. She's a little girl in the Charlotte hospital because she was born so prematurely and with health problems. If you have not checked out their site, you can click here to go to their site.

2. I have the "One Minute Writer" button because that really is my 60 second addiction. I love to see what people can come up with in one minute to write about. If you have not checked out C. Beth's One Minute Writer, you should go here.

3. I have my playlist. Ok, so right now it's only 3 songs, but I'm sure I'll add to it eventually. There are specific reasons why I chose each song. If you listen, you can probably figure them out... lol.


"Adonai"--This song tells of how Wonderful my Father (and yours if you know Him) really is! I have loved this song since the first time I heard it.

"You Had Me From Hello"--Believe it or not, that is what Tony and I have engraved on the inside of our wedding rings. (You had me from hello 5-19-01) During our wedding, I sang that song to him right after we exchanged rings. It was pretty cool.

"In My Daughter's Eyes"--This songs reminds me that my daughter is looking up to me...ALL THE TIME. I have to be the best example for her that I can be. Sometimes it might be hard, but God will lead me if I will let Him.


As I add songs, I will tell the story behind them...if there is one.



Until next time........

I like these songs, that is nice. I like to listen to music as I write. We all have causes we care about so it is something nice to have on your blog. I agree totally with you on following The One Minute Writer. I got inspired when I started my blog by her blog. It really got me going and getting into the habit of writing daily. I love her prompts, it is a great way to warm up your writing. As a mother, I can related to being the best mom we can be, showing our children the rights and wrongs, and just being there to listen to them and show them all our love and support.

Hi Leslie...ran across your enter on WW Changed my Life...I think we are neighbors, well not really, but I'm from NC, just north of Charlotte, I'm a teacher, my daughter goes to UNCC, and I owe a small business....so we must be close. I just started WW again. First time I went to meetings..lost 22 lbs in 5 mth...learned a lot about the do's & don'ts.This time I'm joined online and will probably just do the three month intro. special to get me started.I can relate to the expense issue. I just wanted to offer you this about the points...you SHOULD eat all of the points everyday...if not your metabolism will slow down and you won't loss. So eat every point and use some of the weekly bonus points too (35 extra). Your points need to come from 2 servings of milk, 5 fruits/vegs., 2 healthy oils and 8 waters. It will be easier to stay on the plan and you won't get hungry. I'd love to share the WW journey if you are interested in more support.Sorry to be so long winded...just wanted to share. Best wishes. Susan

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 ...
