You know when you have to use a rubber band on your 12 year old "fat jeans", it's time to finally go through the closet and get rid of the jeans and pants that no longer fit. I had been dreading it but I decided to just do it!
So, here are my SEVENTEEN pairs of pants and jeans that don't fit anymore. This is a result of a hormone patch that I started in March and quit in September. I gained 14 lbs from my complain weight and 25 lbs from my low weight last year. The most frustrating thing about it has been not being able to wear any of the clothes in my closet. My shirts are starting to fit again though but I don't know if my jeans ever will so I put them up for now and maybe forever. I know one thing, I'll NEVER complain about my old complain weight again. Oh well! It's just life...and I'm just happy I am doing better physically. Oh, and the reason I have so many jeans is because I keep my clothes forever! I'm a clothes hoarder. I was reading an article about getting rid of clothes and I'm going to try to do it this week! We will see what happens. :)

More later! :)

I have followed you for a few yrs, and I honestly will say, you're beauty has truly increased. You are one of those people who could shave their head and be 100 lbs more, and no one would notice because they see your precious heart. ;) I know exactly how you feel though, as i have gained 30lbs in the last 2.5yrs due to brain tumor (non cancerous) and thyroid issue. It was very hard initially, to have no control over the issue, and to know my "old" body was gone, but now when I want to complain I stop myself and thank the Lord i am alive and i am not dealing with a life threatening illness. I too have severe chronic pain, fibro, IC and pelvic congestion syndrome (hope not tmi), and now horrible teeth issues which has probably been the hardest issue for me in many ways, but know that each day we are given is a gift, and that I am a daughter of the great physician who knows why I physically go through what I do. He will be faithful to complete what He started in me. I pray for you every morning as I know you struggle with pain too. Think how much your earthly dad cares for you, beautiful Heather, and remember that your heavenly Father cares soooo much more!! Blessings to you!!

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...

Bye Bye 80's kitchen!!

Well, my kitchen is mostly finished!! It's completely painted!! I am so excited to have a brighter updated kitchen.  It just feels completely different.  I'm not completely finished but here's what I've got for now.   The cabinet color is Benjamin Moore Linen White and the walls are Benjamin Moore clay beige. I'm so glad to see the florescent oak square light gone!! I replaced it with chandeliers I got at a flea market!! :) We also hired an electrician to put more canned lighting in because after the florescent square was gone, we needed more lighting. I painted 48 cabinets and drawers and the body of the cabinets (don't know what the official name for that is) and was so burned out by the time I finished the island that my sweet husband suggested we hire a painter to paint the rest for me! I am SOOOO glad he did!!!!  See the faith, truth, love window frame beside the pantry door? Well, my super talented sister-in-law, Sabrin...

Mar and I didn't go to church this morning. :( We hate to miss. We woke up about 8:30, talked a little bit, prayed a little bit and then the next thing we know, it's 10:30!!! We must have really needed the sleep. We leave for church at 10:40 so there was no way we were going to make it. It felt wonderful to sleep in, though. We can alway watch the service on the Internet. After Rosie got home from church, we went and picked her up and took her to Wendy's to eat (we all really wanted Franke's but it was packed...at 1:45!) and then we headed to Party City where I got plates for Bunco (it's at my house on Thursday) and then we went to Garden Ridge and got a fake plant and a chair (for $99). The chair we were going to get was WAY more than that and a lot prettier but the one at Garden Ridge did the job fine and with no guilt for spending too much money on a beautiful chair. It is SO MUCH FUN to shop with Rosie...SO MUCH FUN!!! I hate to shop without her because she make...
