Hey My Nut Buttahs! 
Can you believe I have already hit the bottom of my SECOND jar of walnut almond butter?! At least there is another OIAJ in my future! 
And by your requests, Protein Granola Bars will be next!
My life has been pretty crazy over the last few weeks. Some of the things that have been going on include –
I RE-DID MY RECIPE PAGE! GO CHECK IT OUT!
We have a TON of figs right now! We have a fig tree out front, and it is officially a giant.
AND, it JUST decided to have ALL of its fruit go ripe.
(P.S. these Texas figs start green and turn yellow when ripe)
We’ve been giving them to our neighbors (well, more like on our knees BEGGING them to take some), and I must say, many of them didn’t know what they were. All we had to do was mention Fig Newtons and that these figs were the filling inside of the newtons did they say, Oh! YUM! 
You’ve just got to love them!
We have new revolving Pantry shelves to hold our canned goods.
With canned goods, we want to use the ones we get first before the new ones, but the older ones tend to stick in the back and the new ones are placed in front. So, we always grab the ones in front. With these shelves, we don’t have to worry about not using stuff. I also like that it makes things a little bit more organized.
I just received a box of goodies from Swanson Health! They sent me Coconut Flour, Raw Cacao Nibs, TVP (texturized vegetable protein), Muesli, Wheat Bran, and Oat Bran.
I can’t wait to use these!! What I love about Swanson is their wide variety of the products I love — and their prices are VERY good! Plus, shipping is always $4.99, so buying more stuff doesn’t mean shipping goes up.
Are you interested in getting some free Swanson Health Products goodies to review on your own blog? Then check out the Swanson Health Blog for all the details.
I got a package the other day with my shirt from the 28 day challenge I participated in!
I LOVE IT! Here’s a close-up of the design on the front.
I can’t wait to wear it! Paige is so sweet — I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to do this challenge with her and the other women!
My mom and I have been going over my college plans. It is getting really exciting! Right now I’m just finishing up a couple of classes (I finished another math class the other night — I’m done with Trig and now with Business Math). We discussed my SAT Scores and you know what — there was NO difference between them. I got the same score each time. What I scored on Writing on one test is what I scored on the other in Math, and vice versa. There was only a 20 point difference between the Math and Writing (those are my two strongest areas). I’m thinking I don’t have to take another SAT test unless I REALLY want to.
I re-did my room! Now my closet is organized, my shelves have been cleaned-up, and my floor is now spotless. It kind of reminds me of a hotel room in a way.
I love this quilt that is on my bed. What makes it so special to me is that my Grandma made it herself! By hand!
Guess what I put on my Mirror?
Can you see it? Here’s a close up.
Oh yes I did. My life is now.perfect.
What is one thing I should take into consideration when picking the college I want to go to? I’m having to decide between two and I don’t know what to do!
What should I do with all of these figs??? I’m thinking some Fig Walnut Bread! And some Preserves!
What should I try first with my new goods? I’m thinking of some muffins…
