Another Birthday (Recap)

I'm getting a little (sometimes a lot) slower with age.

I didn't forget that my child had a birthday. I just didn't post anything here about it.

On Friday, August 18, The Princess turned 14.
She stayed up until midnight on Thursday just to be able to say "It's my birthday!"

NO! I can't believe she's 14!

What did we do for her Birthday?  EVERYTHING she wanted to do!!

After getting up later than normal (she wanted to sleep in), we ate pancakes for breakfast.

We went bowling. She's in a bowling league now and wanted to practice before the first games on Saturday morning!

We met my parents at Sweet Frog for fro-yo. (YES! She got Birthday Cake flavored fro-yo!)

Then we picked up her best friend to spend the night (after she got out of school).

We picked up my parents. We went to Remedy Church for Kidz Krusade.  At the end of the night, they silly stringed her as everyone sang Happy Birthday to her!  (It was AWESOME!)

Then we all (my brother and most of his kids, my sister and her girls, and us) went back to my parents' house for pizza. We played cornhole there until about midnight. Then we headed home.

On Saturday morning we went to her first bowling games.  She bowled her highest game to that day...85!!!!


Now.... she's been 14 for an entire week as of today.  She's still as silly as ever, but I couldn't imagine loving her any more than I do right now.  (Somehow.... I know that tomorrow, I will love her more anyways! That's how it goes every day!)


How do you celebrate birthdays? Do you get to do whatever it is that you want to do? What did you do/do you plan to do for your birthday?

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 ...
