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...

Show us where you live Friday.....the Kitchen

Most of you probably read Kelly's blog . She is so much fun! Well, she is hosting a "Show us where you Live Friday" and this week is the kitchen edition. I am excited about this because I absolutely LOVE looking at houses and decor....it's so much fun and can really show someones personality. I just love to see how others express themselves through decorating. While I really do love my kitchen, it is the room I am looking forward to redoing the very most. My future plans are to take down the wallpaper and paint, paint the ceiling, redo the cabinets (probably really dark wood), paint the island black, take down the florescent light fixture above the island and replace with something a little more up to date, and replace the curtains. I think the previous owners did a great job decorating it but I would rather it be more my personality. I spend A LOT of time in my kitchen and I really enjoy it!! When my mom and dad moved, they gave me their big round table that seats...

Nashville Trip

Once again, it has been SO long since I have done a blog post. I think with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media, I get overwhelmed. I haven't posted a Facebook album in so long, though, so I really wanted to start blogging again to be able to remember! This might be my last post for 2 years again, though! LOL! We will see. We took a business trip last weekend to Nashville (first time to ever go to Nashville) and it was so fun because on this business trip, Macy and Kevin got to come with us! I haven't written on here yet about it, but Kevin is now working for the same company Lamar works for and we are just THRILLED about it!!!  Our weekend trip actually started on a Thursday. The morning started with my first visit to the ER ever but more about that in another post. I was okay and am so so thankful for my precious dad who took me there and we got to bypass the waiting room. I have continued to be blessed by my Dad and his love for the Lord and oth...
