Gratetful Blog #1

I'm grateful for Novocaine. The tooth I was suppose to have a root canal on ended up being pulled, the doc said the cavity in it was just too deep. So I can add one tooth to my long list of missing body parts!

Sorry NO pixs for this lovely event.

Remember ME?

I know it's been ages, so let me say Life has been full of ups and downs...now for today's news :)

Merry and I went to a stamp show on Saturday, I loaded up with lots of new stamps, 6 acrylic albums and so MANY great ideas! OH and a FAB new purse on the way home! We had a great time.

Type at ya soon, it's late and it's been a full day!

Everyone send prayers and wishes to Bill he has a job interview tomorrow that could bring more money, no more Saturday work and 10 mins from home! Plus, Plus Plus!

Stamp-On!

Vacation WOO HOO

Tomorrow is the first day of our big trip! I have been so stressed over the last week getting ready for the trip, but it's now is just hours away!

I have been training people at my work to do my job and I sure hope that goes well. If not it will make them realize how much they need me :)

Packing is done other than our bathroom stuff. We are taking everything to the send off destination tonight!

I will post when we get back and MAYBE if I can remember the website while I'm gone.

I wish you all a happy 4th!

It's all over!

Well my Gallbudy is gone and so it a hernia. The surgery was a breeze I did not feel a thing. Wake up ....well. I felt like I gave birth to a 200 pound gorilla out of my belly button. I'm doing OK today. Still sore but fully capable of getting up and around (at my own pace). Odd thing is I can hardly eat anything, like right after my WLS surgery, makes me wander if he cinched up my pouch too? How sweet would that be. I did not say at the hospital long. They did not have any rooms on the 5th floor (general surgery) and Dr. Ferrari told the nurse if I felt I could go home I could. Of course I said yes. 15 mins later I was in the truck! The best part of the surgery was when I getting changed into my hospital attire and they had to have me change to something smaller! Then the nurse had to go find a smaller BP cuff. It was a great feeling. 2 years ago they would have to go find bigger. The OR nurse remembered Bill, she was happy to see him. She told him he was the biggest person they had operated on, she was so happy to see how well he was doing. She said she wished she could see more after people b/c she usually sees them at a bad time in there life and it great to see how what they are doing makes people so much happier and healthier. This is all for today...25 days till vacation!!!!!

2 more days

Only 2 more days with my GALLBUDDY! I sure hope his removal puts and end to my "issues".

This past weekend was a full one and quiet fun. Saturday we did our usual trip to the Tatums so Bill can make some side money for the trip. Sunday we headed over to Pick A Part for the 50% off sale. Bill got many things he needed for Berthas rebirth. We actually found a K-5 the same year to rob part off over, that made him happy. The we had a little for Lynsey's B-day! Monday back to the Tatums to work and BBQ. I helped Rick cook and was my hands were burned by jalapeños juice from making Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. TASTY! The the big adventure of the weekend. Bill actually got me on the 4 wheeler with him. I'm such a big wienie when it comes to stuff like that. I screamed and screamed, then he made me drive! LOVED IT! I did not want to get off. I was so flipping tired on Monday! But it was all worth it. I'm sure this weekend I will not be doing much of anything!!!!

After the recovery I HAVE to start the dreaded swimsuit shopping. That might actually be worse than the surgery. LOL

and the results are in...

Well my gallbladder is coming out. May 30th to be exact. While int here he is going to look for any other issues, like kinks or hernias (Hyenas as Lynsey calls them). I have not been hurting too much lately but every time I say that it comes back. More nausea now than anything. I'll be back to new in no time.

Our BIG TRIP is almost planned. We have it mapped out, the hotels booked and adventures planned. I'm really excited about it. Here are the plans leave at 4pm on Thursday, arrive about midnight on Friday (yes we are driving to MI) Saturday we are going to "evaluate the car" and park the trailer on a friends corn and beet farm,then spending some time In Frankenmuth (www.frankenmuth.org) then we will be having a family picnic (Bill's dad side) on Sunday. Monday we are heading even further north to Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island (www.mackinacisland.org)
Tuesday we are even further north to Grand Island and staying at the Sunset Motel (www.sunsetmotelonthebay.com) and doing all the tourist stuff. Thursday we will head back south to FREE suites at the Soaring Eagle Compliments of Bill's mom (www.soaringeaglecasino.com) then Saturday we are going to pack up the car on the trailer and all the weary travelers (include 2 tag-a-longs) and coming back to Texas! WOO it is going to be a blast.

We have a new HD digit camera with a 35x zoom and a new video camera for the trip! So excited about those too.

To put the icing on the cake BERTHA LIVES. since we are bring home the 64 GTO we had to make room for her. So Saturday Bertha was resurrected she runs and is purring like a Lion! She is a beast, I posted her picture. She is nothing pretty but she is fun!

Well it is midnight on a work night I have to go get Bill to come inside (he out there with his new girl Bertha) and head to bed.

Love you all!

Scrap-on!
