Ick, I made canned string beans last night thinking that they would be mushy enough for my stomach to handle. They were horrible! I used to love canned string beans when I was little. My grandmom (my dad’s mom) would only make canned string beans for Melissa and I as a vegetable when we ate dinner at her house. I guess back then I grew to like it because I knew that was the only vegetable we would get from her house. Now, it’s awful! I definitely prefer fresh string beans and any fresh vegetables for that matter. Yuck!
I don’t know if you’ve heard Kelly Clarkson’s new single, “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger.” I’ve become in love with this song lately. I think it’s because it’s that type of song that almost every single person can relate to. Most people have gone through some hard time in their life and it doesn’t bring you down, but it makes you that much stronger for having gone through it and making it out okay.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter Footsteps even lighter Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone I like these lyrics so much. I feel like I have gone through a lot over the past couple of years in regards to my family and now with my health. It’s been really stressful and frustrating at times but I am a fighter. I am a strong person and I know that being a strong person, I can push through anything. Is there a song that you really connect with or a song that has strong meaning to you?
Enjoy your Tuesday!

Hi there! Happy Tuesday! I hope your week is off to a good start. I can’t complain about mine. It’s going well. I thought yesterday went by pretty quickly so I was glad about that. I’m hoping today goes by quickly as well. It’s always better when you are so busy at work. It makes the time fly by so quickly!
Quick update about my health. I don’t want to keep complaining about how I don’t feel good and things of that nature. I know I’ve been doing that for quite sometime now and I don’t want to bring anyone down. So I apologize for that. I called my doctor yesterday and she prescribed me a medication to take in addition to the other medication she originally prescribed for Crohn’s. This medication should kill the flare-up. Then other medication will just be my maintenance medicine. I only need to be on this other medication for a week to two weeks depending on how long it takes for the flare-up to go away. I’m hoping it’s only a week or less because I’m nervous about side effects. I took this medicine this morning so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it will provide me with some relief.
Enough about that, for dinner last night, we had leftovers from the chicken that I made in the crockpot on Sunday night. Let me tell you, this chicken is just so delicious! It’s good cold and it tastes great as leftovers the next day. I am definitely buying a bigger chicken the next time because it was good for two meals. Now we don’t have any leftover. It’s so easy to make in the crockpot. It’s worth it to try!
I also got an amazing deal over the weekend, thanks to Melissa, on Alexia fries. I’ve become obsessed with them lately. If you like them too, you are in luck! Target has them on sale until Saturday. They have a $1.00 off coupon on their site. So print that. Then go to Alexia’s website and print the coupon for $1.25 off. You can stack them and use both coupons at Target since one is a Target coupon and one is a manufacturers coupon. I ended up getting the sweet potato puffs for 79 cents!!! You have to do this deal!
