Absolutely! My closet is divided by weight, then season, then colors. Far right = fatter Far left = thinner. Clothes I don't fit are grouped in dry-cleaning bags with a tag indicating weight for best fit. I'm working my way to the left now that spring is around the corner! Totally can be done!

I keep different sized pants on shelves in the closet as my summer and winter sizes vary.

Right now! Lifestyle changes to bring type 2 diabetes have helped my lose significant weight with the help of a popular app. Not done yet!

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
