I’m alive! Everything went really well. We arrived at 6am, surgery was at 8. The IV didn’t hurt like I thought it would, and I have minimal bruising from it. It grossed J out though because he could see the fluid race through the tube and into me. And it caused my left arm to…

I’m getting ready to go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow as we have to be at the hospital at 6 am. Surgery is at 7:30. Should be home by 1-2 pm. Some of my pre-op instructions are pretty amusing: -Take a shower and shampoo your hair the night before surgery. (but…

Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Today my nephew is getting baptized then we’re having the traditional family dinner. I finished my Spring Craft Swap items last night and I’ll send them out Wednesday or so. The scrapbook crop I went to Friday was fun. It was just the creative shot in the arm I…

Saturday after work I went with my sister and new nephew to visit the Easter Bunny at the mall. Little Jake did really well, he didn’t even cry. Then we took him to my mom’s new house for dinner and visiting. He only weighs about 8 pounds- he’s still so little. It’s so easy to…

Last night on the way home from work, my local radio station was playing 80’s music. I became painfully aware that I had sung every word to Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up”. Every word. Even the rappy part toward the end, you know, where she sings about not wanting to get her love caught in the…
