Hilton Head

As promised, here are some of the pics from Hilton Head.  We arrived on Friday to this room.

Nice…right?  The only problem was that we were supposed to have queen beds.  We had doubles.  (A little short, but they worked!)

 

That evening, Tony and the Princess walked to the beach.  It was a little far for me.  My legs and back were hurting from being in the car for so long. Sad smile

In order to get the fabulous deal we got, we had to go to a 90-120 minute presentation on Saturday at noon.  It started at noon, and we were back in the car by 2pm.  If we were going to buy a timeshare, these would be the people to deal with.  They weren’t pushy.  When we said “no,” they did make ONE more effort (change price, down payment, etc.).  BUT…after we said “no” again, they shook our hands and took us back to the front door.  Friendly.  Polite.  Did not seem upset that we did not purchase.  Nice.

When we were finished with the presentation, we decided to go to the Harbor Town Lighthouse.  I had never (that I remember anyways) seen a lighthouse in person!  Obviously neither had the Princess! Smile  So… we went.  It was nice. 

 

Who am I kidding?!  It was FABULOUS!

I was standing at the base looking up.  (Tony had to stand behind me. I was terrified!)  I’m scared of heights so looking up at something really high makes my knees weak too! Smile  (NO LAUGHING AT ME!!!)

Even though all 114 steps are INSIDE, knowing that I am going to be that high off the ground……  well… just imagine!  I made it all the way, but about 1/2 way I had a panic attack.  Just a small one.  But… I kept going.

I was the first one of the three of us to the top!!! 

 

I *did* go out on the ledge of the lighthouse, but only far enough that the door could close behind me.  Then I went right back inside!  Smile Afterwards, we got ice cream!

 

Sunday, we got up early and went to the beach for a few hours. Since all of us burn easily, we had to go when the sun was just coming up, but we still all had 100 SPF on! Smile 

 

Monday we came home. Sad smile  I guess it’s good!  I’m glad to be home.  Now… we only have 24 days until we take Mom and Dad to Myrtle Beach!

Sounds like such an awesome vacation - totally worth the non-pushy timeshare presentation!

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 ...
