That damn Murphy!

All was well on Monday at my physical. But of course that would have been too easy! I guess because I'm broke Murphy's law came into effect on Tuesday and gave me Tonsilitis! So that meant another copay. . . . . another prescription! Grrr. But I'm glad the pain of it will be over soon. My right tonsil is so swollen it looks like I gained ten pounds in my neck! And the horrible sore throat lead to some accidental weight loss so wooo hooo! LOL

I start at Comcast on Monday. I'm pretty excited to get started onsomething new. It seems like something I will enjoy. Even if I don't love it it'll still be a million times better than what I have now.

Super dad says my car will be ready by the end of this month. I can't wait! I keep telling Richard that my left foot gets bored driving his car. And being able to sleep until 7 again will be a welcome return to the norm.

Starting with myself

My pledge to help keep others from a preventable death would mean nothing if I didn't also do it for myself. So first thing Monday morning I headed to the Dr. for a head to toe physical with special attention on my fondly nicknamed "Izzie spots".(I miss her already guys!)

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, A few months ago I got some salmon colored spots on my abdomen. I'm not going to lie, skin cancer was on my mind. I mean. I'm not a tanner but I've had some major burns in my time. And I've been scared to have them checked out. Nobody wants to get bad news, but bad news later might have been devastating news.

Well at first the Dr was a little concerned. After careful examination it was determined that I have Pityriasis Rosea. In lamens terms this means "your skin changed color for no good reason and will return to normal in a few months." So in the mean time I look like a leper but I'm healthy!

All other reports were good. He's slightly concerned I might have a galbladder problem but with the problems Amber had I told him I don't want to persue anything until I feel like it's a problem. He was ok with that. Also, it turns out I'm almost 5'4'' which is freakin awesome! LOL I guess I never really knew how tall I was.

Well now I need to go plant shopping with Grandma B. Love you guys!

Emotional Overload

Brianna. What is there to say that hasn't already been said by fifty other teary eyed people? I know that I can say this much; I was sad to have lost a friend. I was sad I didn't stay closer if for no other reason than maybe I could've helped, could've said something.

But most of all I am suddenly terribly aware of how real death is. How unexpectedly it can rip through a family like a tornado. I just sat there staring at my sisters thinking "Not you. Never you. I couldn't function without you." And being a mom I thought "Not my babies. That can't happem to MY precious sweet little babies because I couldn't be that strong mom who has to comfort the other crying people."

I know I can't stop death. I know that it's going to come at any time and we rarely have a chance to stop it or even slow it down. But I know that from now on, nobody close to me will be taken by something that could be prevented without me attepting to help. There's just no reason for it. Sometimes you just need a little help or someone to just listen even. So I'm here. I'll listen. I'll help. Because I LOVE YOU!

Inhale. . . . . . . Exhale. . . . . .

On the opposite side of the emotional spectrum. . . . .

Richard and I decided that in November (when his lease is up) we would like to get an apartment together. This is a big step but I'm ready and very very happy. So between now and then I have a few goals to take care of. I need to refile and finalize the divorce. I need to file for bankruptcy and get my behind in gear to be financially free and on the way to wealthy. I need to pay my dad for being a million times cooler than DNA requires and fixing my car/ saving my life. And save for the deposit on the new place!

Best Buds

Today is a special day! It's Amy Hunnewells 23 birthday! She's the oldest of my newest friends. When i made the choice to go to Hunter rather than Cyprus I left many friends behind. There were few people I could call a close friend at that time and had a few times when I got very lonely. I almost went bac k to Cyprus for some company but out of nowhere Amy showed up!

She told me that I would be missed. After that i got confident and friends started showi ng up everywhere I turned. I thank her so much for being there when i needed someone for all the years since then. She's a great friend no matter the number of miles between us. I love ya girlie!

I'm writing this blog from my phone! I set up mobile blogging so that i can keep you guys up to date on my activity from anywhere! Yay!!!

Things that make me go MMMMMM LOL

I was tagged with the letter M! So after a little bit of thinking, here we go!

MOMMIES

I love being a Mommy. I love my mommies. I love other mommies and mommy friends. I love mommy shows, mommy books, mommy stories. Anything mommy!

$$MONEY$$

This one can go both ways. But when I have it, when I'm not worrying about it, and when I'm not working with it on a daily basis, I LOVE MONEY!

Midgetory

This what I used to call Heather when we were younger. Back in the day when I felt so much bigger than her. Where I felt I was always the big sister and always the leader. Now I know we take turns, somedays I need her to lead me and she always does standing TALL.

Music

I absolutely love it when you hear a song that gets to the very deepest part of your heart. The song that describes your mood, day, or life perfectly. It's amazing. It can make you feel like you aren't alone because somebody else feels the same way.

Memories

I love that no matter how bad or sad or hard things get you can always have your happy memories. I like moms version "warm fuzzies".

MAKING MILK

The mommy super power. Another thing that makes us better than our men! Pretty freakin awesome if you ask me!

:) MEN (:

Honestly, I'd be lying if I didn't say it. I know you were all thinkin it!

No, no, no! Not THAT kinda man! (Not that I'm complaining) I mean this kind of man. . . .



The kind that will let loose and just have fun. The kind that play with the kids and just make you wanna smile until your face hurts.



The kind that work hard, play hard, laugh, cry, and support you through thick and thin. I love THOSE kinda men.

Make Believe

Because sometimes the most magical real life moments can happen when you are playing pretend.

MONKEY!!!

My little nickname for caydance. It started as soon as she started moving and then never stopped! But I love her so so much!

Matthew Mcconaugheys Muscles LOL
Need I say more? MMMMM!

Stop laughing!

Everyone thought I was jokin when I said that I needed somebody to spice up my blog for me. I'll have you know that I'm very technically challenged! LOL but I figured I would start giving it a try through baby steps.

I also decided I better hop on this get fit train before you all leave me behind in chubbytown! (By this I mean that I am in chubbytown! Not any of you! LOL Might have said that incorrectly the first time.) So look forward to those juicy details.

Now I have to go get ready to go back to work!! The only way I can get enough hours is to pick up split shifts! I would greatly appreciate it if Obama could kick up this economy boost a notch or two!
