Sunshiny Day

 

My friend Phyllis at Just Bcauz nominated me for the Sunshine Award a couple of days ago. Since I was gone, I am just now getting to this.

The rules are:

  • Include the award’s logo in a post or on your blog.
  • Link to the person who nominated you.
  • Answer 10 questions about yourself.
  • Nominate other bloggers.
  • Link your nominees to the post and comment on their blogs, letting them know they have been nominated.

Drum roll please...

 

1. What is your favorite color?
Purple—the royal, majestic, deep purple.  Not the overly blue-y or overly red-y purple.


2. What is your favorite animal?
None! I am allergic to everything, and I am terrified of dogs.


3. What is your favorite number?
6—but I do love most even numbers. Sometimes odd numbers freak me out. Smile


4. Favorite non-alcoholic drink?
Double chocolately chip blended cream frappuccino


5. What is your favorite alcoholic drink?
I don’t have one. I don’t drink alcohol….never have.


6. Facebook or Twitter?
Facebook—because I get to keep up with all the “drama” and “gossip” without 90 minute phone calls! LOL


7. What are your passions?
Reading, writing, singing, loving my family, serving God


8. Prefer getting or giving presents?
I love to give gifts.

However, I like getting gifts too. I collect salt-and-pepper shakers. At the moment, I have a couple hundred sets. There are no duplicates, and I haven’t bought a single set for myself!! (I have picked some of them out, but I have never bought them for myself!)

9. What is your favorite city?
I really don’t know. When I visit somewhere that city becomes my favorite while I am there, but when I get home, home is my favorite place. So yesterday, Myrtle Beach was my favorite place….until we left. Now that I’m back at home, I am so glad to be back in my bed, my shower, my sofa, my routine!


10. What are your favorite TV shows?
In no particular order...Melissa and Joey, Sister Wives, Long Island Medium, CSI (all of them), Dance Moms, Duck Dynasty….I have a list of shows I DVR each week to watch later. Smile


Finally, I bequeath the Sunshine Award to the following fellow bloggers:

Pamela at Troop Petrie—Her love of family and support of her military husband inspire me.

 

Amber at Our Blessings and Journeys—She is my niece by marriage. She has done great things with her family—even through a few moves for jobs and other reasons!

 

A fellow teacher at  The World from My Basement—Her attitude is always upbeat. Her products from the basement are outstanding!

 

Leah at Single Infertile Female—Her story inspires me. (If you haven’t read her story, you should…she wrote a book about it.)

 

A fellow Girl Scout Leader at Girl Scout Leader 101—She gives me great ideas to use with my girls. She also supplies “food for thought”.

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 ...
