Today's Challenge--"Do you have any strange phobias?"

I don't think that my phobias are strange. Other people, who aren't afraid of the same things, may think they are.

I am TERRIFIED of dogs. I got bit ONCE! That was all it took. Yes, I did have a dog, once, but he didn't bite me. A family friend's dog bit me when I was looking at her puppies.... not even touching (or trying to touch)... just looking at them in the box! I was 8! I have been terrified of all dogs since then!

I am scared of heights! If something is up higher than I am tall, then I have a hard time getting to it. I can't do ladders. I love lighthouses (and I have climbed two!), but I have to hold on tight as I climb. I also have to stay near the wall when I get to the top. I lean out to take pictures, but I don't go to the edge. When Tony and the Princess go to the edge, I go back inside so I don't have to watch.  It's hard for me to watch other people doing things that involve heights! (Yes, I know that's weird!) I get weak in the knees when someone on TV is up on a ledge or high wire!!

I am also afraid of sharks, but I have never seen one (outside of the aquarium!)!! 

I don't like live spiders, but I refuse to kill them.  I make other people kill them, or I have them move the spider away from me. My high school mascot is the SPIDERS! So, I'm a little superstitious in that way.  I won't kill spiders during football or basketball season.... those are the big sports for my alma mater!

I'm sure there are a million other things I'm scared of, but these are the ones that my family harasses me for!  :) 

Do you have any strange phobias?  What are they? Link up in the comments!!

Leslie, I have some of the same phobias as you do. I once got bitten by a poisonous spider and that was it. I normally have to have someone else off them or remove them, too because that's how far away I want to stay away from them, lol.

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 ...
