So 3 things you didn’t know about me. Let’s see. I’ve been blogging for quite awhile now and I can’t remember what I’ve shared and not shared. So if this is a repeat, I apologize in advance. I figure most people checking this out for the Blog Hop are new anyway.

1. I played Badminton in High school. I orginally joined because you got to wear cute, short tennis skirts. And since I was no where near capable enough to be a cheerleader, badminton seemed the way to go. A lame reason to join, but I fell in love with the sport. It was amazingly fun and I was highly competitive. Had we not moved away right before my junior year I would have been on the varsity team. My new school didn’t have a badminton team, I was devestated. I really loved playing. They have a club team at the rec center near by and I have thought about joining. I have a scheduling conflict though, but if that ever goes away, I would love to play again!

2. I’m deathly afraid of worms. One of the main reasons I don’t do well with gardening, or even picking weeds from the landscaping is worms. I freak out if I see one. I jump and squeal really loudly. I started when I was young. One of the worst memories I have is when some mean neighborhood girls threw them at me. I couldn’t actually feel any hit me, but that was besides the point. It was implied that they had and I couldn’t hande it. My girls like to pick up worms and show them to me. I applaud them, but I keep a distance. They know not to get too close!

3. I cut my hair short. Super short. I had always had the bottom half shaved, I have really thick hair and I get overheated easily. I needed a way to thin it way out. I got tired of it and always had my hair pulled back anyway. So I went and got it chopped. It’s short, like Brian’s mouth dropped open in surprise and he had to lay down on the bed for a bit he was in such shock. I love it, it’s beyond easy to take care of. In fact, I think it’s too long on top now (about 3 inches), and I want to cut it shorter.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Come back soon

I haven’t been able to fit into any pre-pregnancy pants except those that have elastic waistbands.

Brian and I started working out at the gym a couple of weeks ago and trying to eat more healthily.

Because Alex decided to puke on me the other night, my fave black pants, were in the wash and out of commission.

It came time to get ready for church and I realized I had no pants options left. I was scared. I went to try on my “fat” jeans. The jeans that I couldn’t pull up past my thighs when I tried them on last.

I was fearful. I shut myself into my closet and put one foot in. Then the other foot  and pulled, praying for a miracle. Let these jeans please fit me Lord!

They fit, praise God!

Then came time to pull up the zipper. With a lot of hard work, I got it closed. I realized that maybe, if I put on my tummy shaper undergarment, it would work better to my advantage. I took off the jeans and poured myself into the black, tight spandex. I put the jeans back on and the zipping was a much easier task.  Then I went to walk and I looked kind of like a penguin. I needed to do the sit test. I sat on the side of the bed and decided to never try that again.

I took the jeans off, peeled off my tummy shaper and was quite discouraged.

Then, a glimmer of hope. I had an idea and it was brilliant…..

I put on a pair of Brian’s jeans and was pleasantly surprised that they fit and didn’t look to bad either.

So not only was I wearing my husband’s Eagles shirt (the Eagles that let us down in the NFC Championship game. They came so very close.) but also his jeans.

I told him good news, I can fit in my jeans. Bad news, I can’t sit down in them. Good news, your jeans fit me. To which he replied, “YOU’RE WEARING MY JEANS!”

Sharing is caring right

Oh and I got several compliments from friends at church on my “new” jeans!

Now I just have to keep up the good work, I’ll be back in MY jeans before I know it. Until then, I know I have a great alternative!
