New Poll

I added the poll, because I'm curious about what other people think. When I was growing up, we were told you can't wear white after Labor Day. I faithfully followed that rule for years. As soon as Memorial Day came, I broke out the white shoes and pants. And regretfully put them away when Labor Day was here. But I noticed the other day that without realizing it I wore white capris out and about. The next time I went to put them on I thought to myself, wait a minute you're not supposed to be wearing white now that summer is gone. I put them on anyway, because I loved those capris. I noticed that I wasn't the only one still wearing white and it had me thinking - hence the poll.

These Are Cute!

I stole this off of a friend. She posted it on a MySpace bulletin. I thought these were cute and wanted to share - Enjoy!

I'm Baaacckkk!

Our router for all the computers in our house went kaput, which knocked out our internet. It took a few days for Rich to buy a new router and get everything hooked back up. And thank God he did, I was going through some serious withdrawals.

I really LOVED this song when it came out

Health Issues - Updated

My ultrasound tests came back, there isn't any tumors or nodules (Thank God!) but my thyroid is enlarged. It has been for years, from not taking the medicine. I will have to see a specialist in the coming weeks. I'm not sure what the treatment will be (radiation therapy, take pills, or surgery) but, at least it's not cancer.

I did find out a few things at my doctor appointment though. I don't have COPD afterall, my asthma is just really, really bad. I asked him if I lost weight would the asthma go away, and he said probably not. He said in some cases it would, but not mine, it's pretty severe.

The weight gain (and not being able to lose it without alot of effort) is because there is steroids in the medicine I'm taking for my asthma. Little lightbulbs went off in my head that day, I'm telling you.

There you have it, mostly good news. Once I see the specialist, I'll post about the treatment. Thanks for all the advice, concern, thoughts and prayers. It was and is greatly appreciated!!

Video Weekends

I'm adding something new around here. I LOVE music videos (Yeah, so what? - I grew up in the MTV generation, whaddya expect). I thought it would be fun to play some of my favorite videos and songs on the weekends. I will say again that my taste in music is very eclectic. I listen to country, rock, pop, metal, 80's music, and even musicals and some operas. So dust off your speakers, and upgrade your internet connections and get ready for the ride.

an old song I just like



This is my NEW favorite song! I have posted on my MySpace page :)

Love Must Be Tough!

Me: Hey Nathan, give Mommy a hug.

Nathan: Whyyyyy?

Me: Cause I love you and I need a hug.

Nathan: Ohh mannnnnn!!! (then he gave me a hug)

Oh My God!

Well folks the diagnosis is back. My thyroid is out of control - majorly out of control. I've had HYPERthyroidism for years and never take the medicine. I never took the medicine for several reasons (I'm hyper and fat, so I thought if I took it then I would get more fat; the way the script is written out, I would have to take 3 pills a day/3 times a day; the pills leave a nasty after taste in my mouth) and now I'll be paying the price!!

I went to the doctor yesterday because I've been feeling really rundown and lousy lately. And I had a horrible headache for several days which scared the poop out of me (because my mom had a brain aneurysm more than 10 years ago). So I went and talked to the doctor. While I was there, they did bloodwork (for my thyroid levels) and scheduled a thyroid ultrasound.

The doctor just called me back this morning and said my thyroid is hyper-hyper off the charts. Normal levels are 12.0; mine came back 29.something. Yeah! That's not good!

So he's thinking I have a goiter or something so I'm getting the ultrasound done tomorrow morning and then I'll be scheduled to see a specialist. Who knows where it will go from there - surgery, more pills, I don't know. It's really scary to me. I hate having anything wrong with me. I hate taking pills. I don't even like taking them for headaches.

Let that be a lesson to you folks, don't fool around with your health!!

Oh, and the good news is, the headache went away!

Man oh man oh man, why does this crap have to happen to me??!!!
