HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLO!!!!
I hope it's a good one!
P.S. What better day than today for you and Karen to take over the world (and I shall be minister of finance)? :-)

| So... |
[29 Jan 2007|08:01am] |
That last entry of mine is exactly why I've avoided posting on here. Or being anywhere online, really. Because I only meant to explain where I'm at right now, and instead it came off as me being completely insane. *sigh*
I missed most of nationals, partly from just not caring overly much, and partly because, yay! ESPN for burying the skating at 2 in the morning. I realize they were showing it live, but I'd rather see it taped at a time when I'm actually awake enough to watch it. SO I totally missed the mens' LP, which means I missed Evan, and Ryan!, and Johnny's (apparent) breakdown. Oh, well. I'll live.
But yay! for Hez's boos, and Toni's, too. :-)

| So...today is better than yesterday... |
[12 Dec 2006|11:42am] |
It was just a really bad day all around.
Anyway... because it's cute:

|
| All I want for Christmas...well...*some* of it, anyway.... |
[04 Dec 2006|09:39pm] |
Step One
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list.
And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out; it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish and it might come true. Give and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
Don't forget to include a shipping address.
( My 10 + contact info )

| Ok, I'm updating... |
[25 Oct 2006|10:36pm] |
so Toni will remember that she has a friend named Binky. LOL Just kidding. I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted last.
Life has been sucky, to put it mildly, but I think things are finally turning around, and there might just be light at the end of the tunnel. I won't ever have a relationship with my brother again, which is sad, but I must treat it like he died. I am working on forgiving him, because I know I have to, but it's hard when he just keeps repeating the same bad behavior, especially towards my mom. That is just NOT COOL. Do what you want/say what you want to me, but do NOT treat her badly. But even if/when I forgive him, I can never trust him again, so it's over.
I don't wanna say too much about the "finally turning around" part, just in case it doesn't happen, but I promise I will update as soon as I know anything "for definite sure".
And I really have *got* to change the pirate layout. I love it, but I'm ready for a change.

| Back in the real world... |
[28 Jul 2006|03:42pm] |
I hope tis makes sense and doens't have too many typos. I am on Percoset which is great, but it makes me a little...*woohoo*.
The surgery went well, and I feel really good (and not just from the drugs haha). I'll post more later, but just thought you'd like to know I am back in thre real wrold.
Oh and Toni did you get the voice mail from me? I was on my way home from the hospital, and pretty loopy but I thought it would be funny. :-D
|
|
| so...the surgery. |
[21 Jul 2006|03:27pm] |
First of all, it's at 1:00 (central time!) on Monday. Pleeeeeeeeeze pray for me. :-)
However, it's not going to be quite as simple as the first one. They have to do the big incision instead of the tiny little "scope" cuts, which I'm not at all happy about. Also, they've gone from saying they're removing the tumor to calling it "exploratory surgery", because they don't know what all they'll end up taking. They really wanted to do a complete hysterectomy on me (removing uterus and both ovaries, which = no kids ever), but when I freaked out and started crying about how I'm only 29 years old and how dare they suggest taking away my opportunity to have children, they backed off of that.
It is still a possibility though, because if they find anything cancerous while they're in there, they'll totally remove that part(s). For definite sure, though, they are removing: 12 pound fibroid tumor from my uterus, along with my left ovary and fallopian tube. Apparently the ovary is cystic, and the tube is enlarged and fluid filled and causing me problems. So now I'm going to be parts missing! She did say that I could still have children even if I only have one ovary.
So, I'm either gonna have a complete nervous breakdown between now and then, or I'll have surgery on Monday and you all will see me on the other side. (Which will be at least 1 week after surgery, because I'll have to stay in the hospital)

| Surgery time change |
[16 May 2006|04:26pm] |
|
It's been switched to 11:15 (That's 8:15 your time, Toni)
|
|
| *sigh* |
[10 May 2006|10:39am] |
I'm beginning to feel like I'm imagining things. No one could possibly have this many medical things all at once, right? Well, apparently I can!
Have I mentioned that I have an angioma in my nose? WHAT is an angioma, you say? Well, I had the same question. It's a collection of blood vessels that get together and form one giant blood vessel. They grow, and block off your left nostril until you can't breathe...oh, wait. That's just me. Sorry. LOL This morning I made it bleed and thought it wasn't going to stop and my mom was taking me to the ER (because the ENT doctor told me that if it started bleeding there was a good chance it wouldn't stop because of how many blood vessels are involved), but just when we got there it stopped. Of course. LOL
So now, instead of just dealing with the PCOS, or just the infertility, or just the messed up periods, or just the gallbladder (each of which would be plenty on its own), I get to add bizarre thing growing in my NOSE to that list. How have I not had a nervous breakdown by now????????
Anyway, for those inclined to keep me in their prayers:
May 15th, 9:00 am, pre-surgery consultation for gallbladder
May 19th, 1:15 pm, appt. with ENT doctor to deal with nose issue
and some point after that will be the gb surgery and possible surgery to remove the angioma.

it works!!!!!!!! It just takes overnight to get them posted...lol Anyway, now you can all hear my fabulous voice (I know you're just DYING to, right?).
Some people on the instructions page were like SUPER excited to have this feature, but I don't really foresee myself using it all that often. (Now watch, I will. LOL)

| Anticipation... |
[23 Dec 2005|12:51am] |
So, they're not here *yet* and it's 1 a.m., 12/23. There was some delay and they weren't able to leave FL til 10 yesterday morning. *sigh* So I can't sleep cuz they'll be here any minute. I'm tired but I'm too wired to sleep for more than 15 minutes at a time. How sad is that? LOL
Anyway, I talked to Mark (my b-i-l) about half an hour ago, and they were about an hour away. So anytime now, and I can get my tater hugs and go to bed! (I am so silly!)

| The inevitable... |
[15 Dec 2005|10:33pm] |
trying to prolong the inevitable is an exercise in futility, like beating your head against a brick wall. Oh, sure, eventually you'll die but is that really the result you want? (I'm kidding!)
I'm freaking out about my birthday, and some friends are throwing me some big woo-ha party tomorrow night, and I love them for it, but honestly I'm just hoping I don't burst into tears at some point during the evening. I'm such an emotional tool.
Anyway, I know, Toni, I know: YOU'RE NOT OLD! (there, said it for ya) :-)
I just feel all reminisce-y tonight, like where did the time go? How can I be turning twenty..well, whatever age I'm turning? It seems like just yesterday I was graduating high school, and my Tater Tots were just babies (and one wasn't even born!)...and now they're almost full grown. In fact, my oldest Tot is starting some classes at the college next month. COLLEGE, people! Do you KNOW how old THAT makes me feel? Ugh.
Enough. I'm going to bed before I snap and have a real good cry.

| I love Christmas time... |
[14 Dec 2005|11:10am] |
it's my favorite part of the year. :-) My mom and I have this new tradition, every night we sit and talk for like an hour with just the Christmas tree lights on, about anything from her childhood to my childhood to her married life with my dad (which I don't remember), to what's going on with us right now. It's so great, and I've learned so much about her. Can you tell I love my mom to death?
Last night I went to a Christmas party, and we (the group of 8 at our table) were bored, so someone suggested this game of "5 Facts". Each person had to tell 5 little known facts about themselves...it was very interesting, and very revealing in some cases. So, here are 5 facts about me:
1. I cry *every* time I hear "Because Of You"
2. I like peanut butter sandwiches with butter and dill pickles
3. I can't take a compliment, at all. I *say* thank you, but inside I'm questioning whether they meant it, or why they said it, etc.
4. If I was thin(ner), I would dye my hair red and have chunky blonde streaks in it (but I'm not brave enough to do it now)
5. I would love to spend a year on a ranch in Montana, away from everything.

| Possible good news.... |
[29 Nov 2005|05:03pm] |
They are sending me an info packet about the weight loss surgery, so I can fill out an evaluation form. If my evaluation is approved, I'm good to go for that! Keep your fingers crossed!!!
Oh, and after being told that my ultrasound was normal, it's not gallbladder, etc....my HIDA scan showed that my gallbladder output is at 32%, and they want it to be somewhere btwn 50 & 70. So I guess I knew what I was talking about after all!
and thanks again Toni for the iconage. I <3 them! (and you!)
