Unconditionally & "Irrevocably" in Love With Twilight!"

I will admit it, since I picked up the book "Twilight" I couldn't put it down. I finished in two days. I was immediately drawn in to the character's, and, yes especially Edward...LOL! Now I will have to buy the movie that comes out in March. I've already watched all I could on Youtube just to get a fix. I found myself watching the baseball scene over and over again. The song was so cool I now play it over and over again on my ipod ha! I have always been drawn to the life and mystery of vampires and this seemed to be one that could actually be a story that "could happen" in my opinion. So, now that you know my little secret of being obsessed with Twilight I have bought the entire series and have been indulging ever since. I am "unconditionally" and, "irrevocably" in love with them! Ha! And, as I thirst for more and more of other "Twilighters"" out there....I have indulged myself into this group: Twilight Moms. Something you may want to contemplate joining. The chain letter is a pretty fun way to talk about the characters!

Let it Snow!

Frosty the Snowman

I absolutely, positively love when it snows! My mood lifts, and I feel like a kid again! I wait anxiously hoping that it sticks and there will be enough to build a snowman. My wish came true this year with a foot of snow! My family and I had so much fun playing outside 'till late at night! My husband and I took a few walks in the white powder, it was beautiful! I love the sound of snow crunching beneath our feet as we walked through the neighborhood that glowed winter white! I knew it wouldn't last forever so we took advantage every minute of it! Here are a few pictures!

My Dog Bowie - He loves to eat Snowballs!

My husband, girls and dogs all playing in the snow!

Our backyard you can tell how much it snowed here!

My Office

This is me in my home office where I spend a lot of my time writing!
We actually have an extra building on our lot that has it's own address. My husband keeps telling me he will make it my office. Of course I don't have a lot of privacy but, I love being close to my family and, the wood stove is cozy too!

Scheduled to go Under the Knife Again!

Well, here I am again, on Monday I have yet another surgery. At this point I'm getting rather anxious because, this isn't a minor one. I cant tell you how I feel about having a few of my organs removed. I guess I'm feeling like it's just a dream and I will wake up with no idea what has happened. There are a few preparations that one needs to perform before certain surgery.
# 1. Colon cleansing. This is where you have to drink a certain concoction that makes empties everything inside you so, if the Dr. accidentally nicks your intestines your less proned to infection and, repairing it is easier. I just think it's pure torture. Once you have gone once, it's like all hell broke loose and, think to yourself, "Thank god, that's over!" But, you know what? It's not. You are not able to be more than ten feet from a toilet for about four or more hours! So, it would be wise to do this in the afternoon because you can not eat anything after your all cleaned out.
# 2. After that is done, you are allowed to only drink clear liquids up to midnight. At this point you may feel delirious, have a head ache, nausea and, have cotton mouth. Your Dr. may be nice enough to give you some for the nausea that will follow you up until you stroll into the surgery room. Otherwise, just be sure to carry that little brown bag along, you know, just in case.
# 3. I experience a lot of anxiety before surgery so, I am prescribed a little pill that takes all my worries away. Which actually converts me into a bit of a giggly school girl. My husband will keep me from running into walls so, always have a good chaperon on your day of surgery. This can be anyone you feel comfortable enough with, just make sure this person has seen you at your worst, throwing up, passing out, and, naked. Basically someone you have gotten shit faced with.
# 4. Hopefully all goes well and you wake up in your room with nurses yelling at you to breath, and wiggle your toes. If you could actually hear them and, can keep your eyes open, and, actually have any control of your bowels, hopefully that catheter doesn't come out.
# 5. After you regain your senses, speech and motor control, they will let you sit up and, maybe even have some ice chips. I was so upset after one of my surgeries because, I couldn't get my lips to work to make words. So, I tried to sign to my husband that I was thirsty. I was so thirsty that it felt like I had been buried alive.
# 6. You may or may not have a catheter. This is a tube that goes up into your bladder so you can pee. The next morning if you stay over night, depending on your case, you have it removed. This is like having a hairbrush ripped from your urethra! Ask the nurse to get some pain medicine before they kindly pull that out! You could bite your lip so hard you may need stitches! (Not really but, close) 6. Now, be nice to your nurses, because these are the people who are giving you your pain meds. And, if they don't like you for some reason or another they will forget about visiting you on their rounds! If you don't stay on top of the pain, it's hard to get it back under control. I woke up crying my eyes out the first night because, for some reason the nurse skipped me when my dose was due! I think I woke up the whole hospital floor at three in the morning! Let's just say nurses talk, and, they can be real bitches! Thank god I was blessed with a very pleasant nurse for the remainder of my stay.
# 7. Hospitals are suppose to be where you get rest and, recover? Not true, you are woke up every few hours for blood pressure, temperature checks, and, pain control. People coming and going in and out of your room at any given time. If you share a room, your roommate may have visitors, watch t.v. talk on the phone or wont shut the f up because, she's so high on drugs! Let's say it will be good to be home and in my own bed to recoup!
Wish me luck!

I Love the UFC!

I am a big time fan of the UFC, "Ultimate Fighter Championship". I just watched a fight with one of my favorite fighters Matt Hughes. He is just about the best all around fighter when it comes to the ground and pound, but, has significantly brought his stand up game to the table as well. I always enjoy watching him fight. I think he reminds me so much of my husband, in body type, posture, fight style, and, humbleness. My husbands name is even Matt! The look like they could be brothers! My husband was a state wrestling champion back in the day and, has a mean kickboxing game to go along with it. I always imagine that when Matt Hughes is fighting, its actually my hubby out there! Ha! I even have show my enthusiasm with the cool MMA Clothing that I picked up over the years too! The UFC Rocks!

Happy Halloween Everyone!

For Shits & Giggles!
This is my dog Bowie....yes, in his Halloween outfit!
He actually loves to play dress up! So, don't think I'm torturing him!

Reality Shows

Who doesn't watch one or more reality shows on TV? Well, I'm right there with you! I guess it's something you are more than likely to get a clip of one of these shows because, they seem to have taken over most of the prime time shows! I do follow "I Love Money." I think it's pretty funny how these people will turn on each other left and right! I'm just wondering if anyone knows when the next episode is going to air? All, that has been playing lately are the re-runs! So, far my favorite episode was when 12-pack got eliminated. I didn't like him in "I Love New York, but, I was rooting for him in "I Love Money." All, I can say is Pumkin is a total back stabber! Poor guy thought he was totally safe at elimination! I was as shocked as he was! What reality shows do you watch? What is your favorite episode & character?

Reconnecting With the Past

It's crazy how we can simply type in a few letters on our laptops and, find someone from our past. I have entered the Facebook world, looked for one of my girlfriends from High School. I ended up finding her sister which, in turn saw that she had a few friends listed that I knew. So, I clicked on them and, added them as friends with a short note asking if they remembered me. With each person I came across they were friends with someone I knew. It was the domino effect. Within just a few short hours I was reconnected with my past elementary, junior high and, high school classmates! I was overwhelmed! I was stunned to know that a few of my friends actually still thought of me as I did often of them. Remembering old songs, that would occasionally play on the radio, always brought me back to when I was seventeen hanging out at a friend's house. It warmed my heart to know that my thoughts were returned and welcomed. As, I see all these people after twenty years, it's surreal....families, children of their own. They all look so happy as if nothing really changed. I still feel like that teenager, and, as I reconnect with old friend's I can see that all we really did was grow up into adults, still young at heart inside.

(These are all the school I attended)

Are They Really the Law Enforcement?

My personality consists of dry, stupid and wacky humor. All I have to say is Reno 911 is one of my favorite shows. These are some pretty messed up cops but, hilarious!

Ahh....The Simple Things Make Me Grin

I have a few favorite shows that I look forward to watching during the week. Ghost Hunters, Paranormal State, and, I Love money. I just wish that there was a better selection of shows especially on the weekends. You would think there would be a good movie on during this time because, people are usually home over the weekend hanging out. I would rather watch a scary movie or comedy, instead of a stint of old Seinfield re-runs. At least the credit report commercial makes me laugh. I actually laughed my head off about that singing bunny attacked bit a guy, who trades him for the skittles. Don't ask me why but, the simple things, things that other people don't see the humor in, is what makes me throw my head back in laughter.

I Call It a Tune-Up!

I don't keep it a secret that I have been surgically enhanced. Meaning that I have some work done. Not, that I am so vein that I grimace every time I see a new wrinkle or line on my face. I have just gone under the knife to put things back where they are so suppose to be. After having my two kids, my chest rather deflated and, were saying hello to my belly button! I wasn't to happy about that so, i decided to have them fixed. I have always been rather chesty my whole life and, when you go from a D to a flat balloon size of A, it can be rather shocking. Especially, when your daughter at the age of six says something to the effect of why are your boobs hanging down like that? LOL...
I seem to have inherited something called bags under my eyes as well. Not the usual puffiness that people can get from not enough sleep, but, something you could pack your whole closet into. I was looking older than I felt, and, I didn't like it that people always told me I looked so tired or sad all the time. So, about six months ago I had my eyes done. This was rather funny to me because, I looked liked I had been beat up with a baseball bat afterwords. I wasn't prepared what I saw when I looked into the mirror after that one! Ha! But, that said, I am always willing to talk about my experiences with plastic surgery. Its a big decision, a personal one at that. As things fall apart as I age, I would rather have a tune up! I'm not talking outrageous changes like butt implants, or anything. I am all for anyone who decides that it is time to have a little work done. I don't mind talking about it, and, giving any advice to anyone who needs it. So, tomorrow I am having surgery once again but, not for cosmetic reasons, but, for tennis elbow or, lateral epicondylitis. Not, that I play tennis, but, because I seem to be the one on my side of the family that everything just keeps falling apart! I think I mentioned it before, but, I am the accident proned one, making this like my tenth surgery to date!
