FINALLY!!!!

Woo Hoo! I finally know the due date of my bouncing baby gallstone! This Tuesday, the 30th, I will be getting rid of this little bugger and donating it to its momma (after the appropriate DNA tests, of course). I'm done with it. Its definitely going to be a soccer player cause it kicks up a storm!!! Of course, it took me all day to get the due date changed. They originally had it set for November 9th. It took a call from my internist to get them to change it.

One thing, OMG! My internist, Dr. Radoff, ROCKS! His nurse and he really went above and beyond for me and helped me out so much I can't even express all that they did. If any of you need an internist in Houston, I would highly recommend Dr. Radoff.

So ya'll be sure and send me warm fuzzy thoughts on the 30th. This will be my very first surgery EVER. And although its not a big deal, its all kinda weirding me out. But, I wont be alone cause Andie, my friend that is on my blog here with us, will also be in surgery on the 30th. She is having a hystarectomy, so please send her warm fuzzy thoughts also. Plus, Beth will be in my head so I really wont be alone!!! Hmmmm....wonder if the knock out gas will knock her out too???? hehehehee

Anyway. Off to take my good drugs that my favorite Doctor EVER prescribed me and go nitey nite!!!!

Surgies and Frustrations

Lasik surgey for Beth was a huge success!! She came through with flying colors from what I understand from her oldest. Who, I found out, loves me! Yeah!! She really made my night the other night, her oldest did. I won't go in to details, but its nice to know that they like me. I never knew how kids will perceive me, so its good to know that I can be a hit with a teenager. That rocks! So now Beth will be relaxing and recooperating until she can see again. it will be nice to have her back in commission again. Kinda weird not talking to her every day! :)

So, my appt........I went to meet with the surgeon on Thursday and guess what?? I have a gallstone! Can you believe that??? I would have never known had I not gone that day!!! hehehehe Now I'm just wating until they get around to calling me to find out when my surgery will be. Good thing is that he said they will start in the morning and I will prolly go home that same night. I'll be "uncomfortable" for three or four days, but other than that it should be all good. I know I'm just ready to get this little bugger out. And as soon as it comes out, its getting sent over to whoever is its momma! I think its going through its terrible twos or someting!

Then, I get home from my doc appt and talk to my parents to update them on whats up, and guess what?!?!?! My sis in law did it again! yet another attempt to "kill herself". Oh, but according to my brother she is NOT incapacitated. She is fully competent to handle herself. Yeah, okay! I swear. it just all makes me CRAZY! yes, I know, I'm already crazy that just adds to it!! heheheheehe

Anyway. I hope everyone is out enjoying this BEAUTIFUL weather we are having. I'm having a hot date with my heating pad on my couch while the hubby is playing a game. Woo hoo! we are SUCH the party animals!!! heheheehe

oh, and PS......prayer request........please keep my friend Andrea (not the Andi that is on my blog here, but another one) in your thoughts and prayers. She just found out her dad has cancer and will be having surgery on the 24th to try and get some of it out. Its in his eyes, arms and hands I believe she said. It just doesnt sound very good. I feel for her. Cancer is SUCH an ugly word!!!!!

MEN!!!

AAARRRGGGGHHH!!!! MEN! You know what, nevermind. Sometimes its just not even worth the effort.

Bouncing Baby Gallstone

Well, since Andi went and outed me, I now have to get a DNA test to see who is my gallstone's baby's momma is. All I know is that whoever is the lucky momma, YOU GET CUSTODY! This little thing is already a little terror! I go on Thursday, the 18th to my new surgeon, so wish me luck. Funny though, my surgeon I found out, even has his own myspace page. Kinda weird!

Is it too late to say, but its NOT mine?!?! heheheehe

Well....

Its official!!! I get to have surgery! Woo Hoo! My very first surgery in my entire life. My bouncing baby gallstone is 2 and 1/2 centimeters big. I'm so proud!

Wish me luck!! :-)

I am just the luckiest one!!!!!!

Now I don't want all ya'll be jealous or nothing, but, I had my little doctor visit this morning and had my abdominal ultrasound and my upper GI, and guess what?!?!? I am the proud momma of a 1 inch round gallstone!! Yeah me! I know ya'll are all jealous right now, but try not to be okay? :-)

It was actually pretty interesting. I got to see the inside of my body. All kinds of different organs. It helps to smooze the techs!!! Hence the reason I actually already know that I have a gallstone because the tech showed it to me. shhhhh!!! don't tell anyone! hehehe It was very interesting looking. No wonder I've been in pain. Little bugger! Now, I have to say, drinking the whole barium thing was NOT happiness. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but still not something I'd like to rush out and do again. The first time wasn't so bad, but the second and third times, I was pretty much done with it!!! and of course, they evidently angered the little bugger by taking its picture cause now he is causing me much pain!

So now I get to sit and wait for the doc to call and tell me the results of my test and what the next step is. From what I am reading on it, it appears to me that it will probably be surgery and they will go on and remove the whole gallbladder. Luckily its not a bad surgery or anything so no worries there. Maybe one overnight stay at the hospital. Hmmmm.....wonder if while they are in there sucking out the gallbladder if they could suck some fat out too? Think I'll ask! hehehee

I got really tickled at a story that the tech told me about. She told me that this 16 year old girl and her mom came in and the tech was asking if there was anyway the girl could be pregnant and the girl was very adamant that there wasn't any way possible that she could be pregnant. So, they proceed with the ultrasound and momma is standing there looking at the screen, watching as the tech is exploring. Well, low and behold, guess what they found?!?! Yep, a baby. And a pretty far along baby at that! Of course mom went ape and started yelling at the 16 year old and I kid you not, the girl looked at her momma and said, "ITS NOT MINE!!!"

Seriously, you can't make this stuff up!! hehehehee

I'm Tired

What a weekend. All I have to say is thank God its Sunday, and its raining so its a very good excuse to do nothing but relax and not feel guilty about doing nothing. Plus there is a Law & Order CI marathon on today, so I would sure hate to miss it. hehehee

So, my date on Friday night........Huge success! We had such a good time. We were such the party animals that we actually closed three places down! First the Woodlands Mall, then Barnes and Noble and then the Cheesecake Factory. I had so much fun shopping with the girls. I even got to play a joke on mom! I had her youngest get the skimpiest formal dress we could find and sneak it to try it on. When she came out of the dressing room, I thought Beth was going to fall on the floor she was laughing so hard!!! Then we set off for Barnes and Nobel. We sat on the floor at Barnes and Noble for the longest time looking at books. I could stay in there forever!!! Then we went over to Cheesecake Factory and had five, yes, I said FIVE pieces of cheesecake. But, to our defense, there were four of us and we did get an extra for her to take back to the hubby. They were soooo good. We got five different types so we could all try them. The girls were hillarious and so beautiful! I had so much fun with them. They tried on cloths and just had a ball. They are so outgoing. After all the running around we did, we finally ended up standing out in the rain in the parking lot still chatting. Its funny cause I felt like I've known her forever and we just had no problems chatting. And I have to say, I was proud of her hubby. He only called one time the whole night. Of course I didn't make it home until almost 2am!! That woman keeps me out past my bedtime!! hehehehee All and all I really had a good time, and hopefully she did too. We'll just see if my "date" calls me or not for a second date! heheheehe Oh and sorry, I didn't have my picture phone so I couldn't take any pics that night to post. but next time (if there is a next time) :-) Of course, by the time I got home, I couldn't fall asleep so I laid down on the couch to watch Forensic Files and finally fell asleep about 3a only to wake up again at 5a and finally crawled in bed. Of course then I was awaken at 8a to go eat breakfast!!

Then Saturday. We start off by going to eat breakfast at one of our favorite breakfast spot. It was nice to just sit and relax and Momma T had brought coloring books for her little one, so the four of us sat there and colored for awhile also. Finally we decide, hey, lets go to Dewberry Farms. I have no idea what this is, so I figure, hey, what the heck.

We pile back in the car and off we go. Of course, we had to make a pit stop to the phone store and I finally got a new phone. YEAH!!!!! I love it! it Rocks!! After that, we are off to the Farm.There is soo much to do at this place! We couldn't do everything and we were there for four hours! Cam had a blast. Running from activity to activity. He wore me out just watching him!! This place had a corn maze on it that we went through. it was amazing! I would love to know how they did that! Here is a picture of Cam at the entrance to the maze:

Isn't he just adorable!?!? It was soo much fun watching him.






Then we have the two giant hamsters......





They were racing until the hubby lost control of his wheel and went ass over apple cart. Opps.







We had a ball. There is just soo much to do there. Cam did his best to do all of it though I'll tell ya. Oh well. I guess next time.

Here is our tractor ride riding in little corn cars (cam with me in front of him, and then the dh off to the left:

and to end our evening, we had the most gorgeous sunset......





We finally made it home prolly around 8p. After the night before, I was exhausted and just couldn't fall asleep cause I was so wound up.



Thank goodness I have today to catch up!!!!

My Big Date

Okay, I'm scared. I feel like a nervous little school girl on her first "real" date. Anon's (now known as: Beth (she didn't like the anon name, so we gave her a new name!!)) hubby, my EX, actually consented to she and I meeting for dinner. He's not fully comfortable with it mind you, but has consented nevertheless. Of course, she promised him we weren't going to sit around and compare notes or anything, so maybe that made him feel better. But GEEZ, that was 20 years ago, so I hardly even remember any notes to tell her about! I'm getting old you know?? hehehe Or maybe he's worried I'm going to convert her. I am after all, physco as we all well know. :-) But they say physco like its a bad thing!!!

So anyway. We are meeting at the Cheesecake Factory tonight. She is bringing their two beautiful daughters, so I'm already gonna be outnumbered.

Of course with any big date, I got up this morning and made sure I washed my hair and tried to make it all look nice. I have to make an impression you know!?? And of course, wouldn't you know, I'm having a very bad hair day. It never seems to work when you want it too! Then you try and find cloths and of course, I couldn't find a thing I wanted to wear. That whole being FAT thing has really limited my clothing options! :-) Oh well. Good thing she got to know before she saw me right?? And of course, SHE is going early so she can get her hair cut, so HER hair is gonna look all good. Now THAT's not fair!

Now the funny thing though, I wonder just how nervous her hubby is gonna be all night.......Wanna bet he calls her 100 times or so? As Andi said, paybacks a bitch!! Shouldn't have done what you did to US all those years ago! heheheehe j/k

Wish me luck!! Hopefully she won't hate me after she actually meets me!! hehehehee I'll keep ya posted!

Ahhh.....Life.....

Life is finally beginning to have a simblence (sp) of normalicy. I got over strep throat only to give it to my housewife and her kiddo. Couldn't help it. You know how I like to share and misery LOVES company! hehehehe But now they are on the mend and hopefully things will now get back to what is supposed to be normal.

Saturday night I got to have dinner with two old friends that I have not seen in forever. It was so nice to catch up. I can't even remember the last time I saw them. Obviously WAY too long ago. We sat and had margaritas and mexican food. What better way to spend the evening?!?!? Of course, as we all parted, we all vowed to not let such a long time pass before we got together again. Don't we always tend to do that though and then before you know it, years have gone by. Maybe I'll make that one of my new year's resolutions this year. Maintain closer contact with friends. Sounds good right? Wonder if I can keep it?!?!?!?! Of course, now that also applies to the friends. I can't do it without their help! (hint hint hint) :-) Or hmmm...maybe I'm the one that should take the hint and figure it out that they don't want to hang around me!! Nah, that can't be it. You can't help but love me!!! hehheheehe (man, I sure crack me up! hehehee)

Sunday was spent most of the day chatting online to my newest online BFF. Of course, I have yet to talk to her other than via instant message. I feel like we are online dating or something! Kinda cute actually. But man, that girl can sure get in my head. Scares me sometimes. I do wish however, while she's in my head, it would be nice if she'd clean some of those cobwebs out of there! :-) One day though, we'll have a real "date". I'll keep ya posted on that! I hear the Cheesecake Factory at the Woodlands Mall calling our names!!

After logging out of my online romance, we all loaded up (the housewife, her kiddo, my dh and I) and went to my new favorite restaurant. The Carriage House Cafe. OMG! Its such good food! and soooo much of it for GREAT prices. Its basically home cooking with some BBQ thrown in for good measure. It is wonderful. From time to time, we get a group of people together to go on a road trip for food. Normally its to Brenham. But, this next time, I think I'm going to suggest going to the Carriage House. Its just soooo good!!!

Then came Monday. Have I mentioned lately that I'm just not fond of Mondays? Seems like everything just goes haywire on Mondays. I popped off yet ANOTHER crown and got to go back to the dentist Tuesday to have it put back on. Another day of not eating. I know, not like I couldn't use to miss a few meals! But hey, Conan like food! heheheehe So, now that is fixed and all is right again.

Next week, keep me in your thoughts. I get to go have an abdominal ultrasound and an upper GI to see what is the cause of my ailments. The doc seems to think its my gallbladder considering I have the four "f" factors that make me at a higher risk for gallbladder disease. You will all be happy to know that I didn't punch out the doc after he told me what those four factors were!!! For those of you that don't know, they are: FEMALE, FORTY, FERTILE and my personal favorite - FAT!!!! Nice. Geez. I lost 14 lbs what else does the man want!?!? Dam men. Never satisfied. Of course, what do you expect.......all men have that genetic defeact called a "Y" chromosome!!! heheheehe Thats okay. I started giving him such a hard time that he couldn't take my blood pressure correctly from laughing so hard. That'll teach him! Of course, he then told me my BP was high to which I promptly responded that it was his fault for telling me I was FAT! :-)

Oh well. Just another day in my world!! hehehe
