My Last Day (of Being 38)

Happy Valentine's Day!  OR as the Princess informed me this morning.... "Happy Singles Awareness Day!!"

Either way, I hope your day is happy!!

Today is my last day to be 38 years old. At 2:45am tomorrow morning, I will be 39! I will be starting my final year of my 30s!  OH MY!  Where did the time go?

This year has been interesting! 

At home, I have been able to do more.
I've cooked more (and everyone survived!)!!
I've gotten outside more--and consequently sneezed more!
I even coached the Princess's rec league softball team last Spring! 
I've been happier, mostly!

At church, I've been more active.
I'm working in Children's church.
I'm singing on the Praise Team (in rotation). :)
I'm heading up VBS this year. (That will technically be when I'm 39,  but I've started plans already.)
I'm helping head up the 500 stockings for families this year. (That will also be when I'm 39.... but still!)

At work, I'm probably doing less.
I am not full time, so I work fewer days than I would with a "real" job. However, I have covered a couple of long term sub things. I'm still hopeful for a full time job.

I'm reading more.

I'm writing more.

I'm planning more.

I'm thinking more.

But, on this final day of being 38, I'm hoping that 39 will be my best year yet. (Of course, I say that EVERY year!  Sometimes, it actually works out that way.)

38 was great in some ways, but in others, like being sick all summer, it was horrible. I'm planning to remember the good..... and I'm not going to focus on the bad.

39 is going to be great! I can just tell!

Here's to today being the best LAST day of being 38!! 

Make today great!

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 ...
