Okay, so I’m trying Blogger for Word and I hope it works. I wanted to use this cute font on my blog so I’m checking to see if it works. If you want to download cute free fonts to your computer go to http://www.kevinandamanda.com/scrapbook/fonts/. You can even have your own handwriting made into a font. I think I’m going to try to do that because I think it would be fun to have my journaling look like I wrote it by hand. :) This is such a fun week….I love Thanksgiving week! I don’t know who to cheer for on Friday’s game…LSU or Arkansas. I’m not too thrilled about either one this season. Maybe I’ll wear Red, Purple, and Yellow! :) I’m sure my die hard Hog fan cousins would LOVE that! Macy is in Fayetteville until tomorrow. Miranda bought her a lot of clothes so she’s really excited about that. May has to go to the dentist on Wed. :( She’s doing better than usual, though. She has an extreme phobia of the dentist. She has problems with her teeth, too, so the combination is not a good one. Did I write on here that she has decided to go to Ouachita? I’m excited. I think it’s a great choice for her. Well, here’s the latest in my life since I last wrote…..
*My friend, Heather, has had a really hard week and that’s an understatement. She found out that her grandmother is dying of cancer and her daughter (who has cerebral palsy) was in ICU this weekend for seizures and breathing problems. She also has a 3 month old nephew who has cancer. I just feel so so sad for her. She really needs a lot of prayers right now.
*On a lighter note, my cousin, Holly, had her precious baby girl, Annie Marie, last week. She is so cute! She is Holly’s second child and second daughter.
*My sister, Marci, found out she gets to come for Thanksgiving!!! YEA!! I am so excited! Thanksgiving would not have been the same without her high energy, enthusiasm, laughter, and encouraging words. She’s the best!
*We did Sharefest this weekend. It was fun. I’ll tell ya, a good pick me up if you’re ever down is to get out there and do something for others…it feel so good to know you are helping someone else. We worked at the Thrasher Boy’s and Girl’s Club. We raked, cleared off brush, and pulled weeds and vines. I was sore yesterday on my ribs (of all places!) from pulling those vines. Hannah, Justin, Mar, and Heather were in our small group. It was great!
*PA won another play off game…MERCY rule again!!! :)
*I did zumba 4 days in a row last week!!! YEA me! :) I also went again this morning and about died after doing all the squats! You would think after 6 months of doing this, I would get used to it!
*If you haven’t tried Chick-fil-A’s Peppermint Chocolate Chip shake, it’s to die for, and it’s seasonal so get it while you can! I know I will! :)
*Speaking of shakes, last night Rosie has her first shake. She was so cute! We took her to Sonic to get a hot dog kid’s meal and I started asking her if she liked Sonic and of course, she did. I asked her if she liked looking at all the pictures of the food and ice cream and then she decided she really wanted some ice cream. I told her that she could try a shake and explained to her that a shake was melted ice cream that you drink through a straw. She was so excited! She wanted a purple one but they didn’t have purple (other than slushies) so we got PINK!!! She loved it! She was on cloud 9! Leave it to Aunt Hadoo to introduce her to all the yummy foods in life! I am also the one who introduced her to chocolate! Her parents just love me! :)
Just one more thing…I have the best husband in the whole world. I know I always say it, but it’s the truth and I appreciate it. He has a lot to put up with being married to me. He always laughs and calls me his feisty woman! HA! :) I was listening to Nancy Leigh DeMoss today and it was talking about how God is so pleased with gentle quiet spirited women and I was like, “Oh GREAT!!!” That is so not me! Even when I try really hard, I still have a hard time being that type of person. Oh well, God made me with this personality and I do the best I can (most of the time). :) Happy Thanksgiving week everyone!!!
Okay, so Blogger for Word would not post so I won’t have the really cute font after all. :(

At the PA game week before last. Go Bruins!!!

I forgot to write in one of my bullets that I got gas for $1.57 last week!!! Woo-hoo!!!

I want a baby!!!!

Sharefest!!!

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
