Are You Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter?

You Are MySpace

You are young ... or at least you feel like you are. You are drawn to musicians and artists.
You are proud of who you are. Your quirks are an asset, and you flaunt them!
You are attracted to shiny things, and you aren't afraid of a little bling.
You're stubborn enough to stick to what your like, even if falls out of fashion.


I don’t even have a My Space account! LOL! Which are you?

Post Surgery

Well yesterday was a long day, I had to stay in the hospital for a couple of extra hours due to feeling sick when I woke up but it wasn’t too bad. I got to the hospital at 6am, my surgery was at 7:30 and we were home by about 1pm. I had thought I’d be home by 11 so it was only a couple of extra hours there. My knee hurt a bit last night but today I don’t need any painkillers yet and am crutch-less! My mom is here to help out with the puppy and it’s been chaotic already and it’s only 7:30 am LOL but I am optimistic!

Thank you all for your well wishes and thoughts, you truly are great friends!

It’s Snowing!

Yep, you heard me right, it was 50 degrees here yesterday and today on March 22nd it’s snowing. Argh! The sun is shining though so maybe that’s a good sign?

Thank you to all who left supportive comments about my drama. I appreciate it and I want you all to know that I’m putting it behind me and moving on. I have unfortunately had to close down my blog but that’s OK I think I got all my loyal readers and friends! If not shoot me an email.

I am having knee surgery on Tuesday so I may miss a few days before I post again. Not to worry I’ll be fine and back asap!

Well we are headed out to dinner with my Mom, hope you all have a great Sunday evening and fab week!

Note to a 'So Called Friend'

I don't care if you read this and I don't even want you to respond, this is just to make ME feel better.

I hope you treat your 'besties' much better than the treatment you have given me. I have 'thought' we were friends for the last 7 years. I stood by you during several hard times. I was right there when you suffered a big loss and took time off of work to be with you. I even went so far as to collect money from friends to get you a memorial for that loss. I listened to you talk it out during your rough times with your husband and understood when you decided to take him back. I knew you needed a tenant and against my better judgement to mix business with pleasure I trusted you to be a friend no matter what. Boy was I wrong. You are a liar and a backstabber and the things you said were not true and the person did not deserve that. You should have just been truthful but you only care about yourself and no one else’s feelings so why would you?

And your guilt is showing through by your actions because I did absolutely NOTHING to deserve the treatment I have gotten from you. Have a good life.

Warning – Rant Ahead!

Don’t you just hate it when you think you know someone but then you find out they are two-faced? One of my biggest pet peeves is two-faced people. You know the kind, they say one thing to your face and then they go behind your back and say something completely different. And it’s even worse when you thought this person was a good friend! You do someone a favor and try to help them out and be a good friend and to get stabbed in the back in the end really hurts!  And that’s all I have to say today.

I hope you all are having a better day than I am!

Girl Scout Cookies

I haven’t got mine yet this year! I ordered from my friend’s daughter in Texas. It’s her first year as a scout and I wanted her first try at cookie sales to be successful. I’m patiently awaiting my favorite flavors, Tag-a-longs and Samoas.

Samoas clip art tagalongs

I like the Lemonaides and the Thin Mints too but these two are my very favorite. It’s funny how I am willing to pay $4 for a box of cookies with only a few cookies in each box but I do it every year!  What is your favorite flavor?

Birthday Wrap Up

Well my birthday started out fabulous and went downhill very fast.  My sweet puppy was not acting like a puppy and just kept getting worse so we ran to the ER vet and spent the next couple of hours there. They ended up keeping her because her sodium levels were down and they wanted to give her some fluid and observe her over night to see if they would need to do any more tests. I was a wreck to say the least. I called around 7pm because they said they would try to feed her at 6 and see if she could keep it down and she did. They said she was happy and wagging her tail! I was so relieved. Here is the poor girl at the vet, the photo stinks because I had to use my phone since I left my memory card in my computer for the camera I had with me!

Poor girl was so lethargic and couldn’t even lift her head. It was so sad! I can’t wait to see her tonight!

We did have some bday cake when we got home and it was yummy but boy what a day!

Thank you to everyone that sent me the sweet bday messages on Facebook it really did mean a lot!

Have a great Monday!

March 8th

Since Sadie was my bday present I didn’t expect anything but cards today. Instead my sweet hubby gave me a totally unexpected Birthday Surprise!

264_6470

Fleetwood Mac floor seats! I am so excited. I have always been a huge fan and have never seen them in concert and have never seen any concert on the floor.

And in other news, I got the confirmation that I do have a torn meniscus in my knee and will need surgery. I'm now playing the waiting game again for the insurance company to approve it. I am looking forward to getting it over with and getting back to my normal self.

Sadie is doing well but man I forgot how much work a puppy is. I was so tired yesterday that I couldn't even see straight. And what a beyotch I was! I went to bed at 8 since Jake said he would stay up with her until 10 and it's a good thing I did because she had us up at 3:30 this morning. I'll be needing a nap today.

Hope everyone has a great week!

My Birthday Present

We got my bday present a little early but she is worth not having any presents to open on the actual day:

We haven’t decided on a name yet because no one can agree. I think since she’s my present I should pick!

    A Freebie

    I figured now that I’m not selling my designs anymore I’d post them here for free so they aren’t just taking up space on my hard drive. Today I’ve got a template for you. If you already bought Sketch it Pack 6 then you already have it but for the rest of you here you go:

    What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

    Saw this little quiz on the SSD blog. I hope the rich part comes soon! ;)

    You Are a Tycoon

    Watch out Donald Trump! You've got a head for business and money.
    You'll make it rich some day, even if you haven't figured out how yet.
    A supreme individualist, you shouldn't get stuck in a corporate job.
    Instead, make your own way - so that you can be the boss.
    Your strength: Your undying determination
    Your weakness: You require an opulent lifestyle
    Your power color: Plum
    Your power symbol: Dollar sign
    Your power month: August

    What Does Your Birthday Mean?

    WOOT!

    The insurance company finally approved my MRI!!! I have no idea when it will be yet but we are headed in the right direction! YAY!

    I scrapped on Sunday. Got one whole page done before a nasty stomach bug kept me on the couch whining. Here is the one page I got done:

    It snowed again here in NH. Thankfully school is not cancelled and we only got 3 inches or so. I guess we had to be reminded it’s still winter or something, I mean we haven’t had a storm in like 3 weeks! Happy Thursday all!

    Happy Valentines Day

    So I woke up to this this morning: 

    263_6390

    Yes that box of candy does say Princess and those ARE green M&M’s. And then he said bye and went to work. I cleaned house and did some CT assignments. Now I’m trying to decide whether or not I want to go take a nap.

    Oh, I had breakthrough with my knee yesterday! After almost 5 weeks the swelling finally went down and my right knee is almost the same size as the left. I’m not sure if was the E-Stim/Ice from PT or just time but I’m happy. It still hurts but as long as I’m careful it’s pretty much fine. I am hoping by mid next week I’ll get my approval to get the MRI to find out if I need surgery.

    It’s a long weekend for me but not the boys, Michael has to work and our town is making up a snow day so I’ve got the day to myself. I may just heat up my scrap room and head down there for the day now that I’m off the crutches.

    And that’s it for me. Have a great weekend!

    My Word

    I saw this on the SSD Blog. I am pretty happy with my word:




    Your Word is "Love"



    You see life as possibility to form deep connections with a few people.

    Relationships are the center of your world, and you always take time to bond with those you love.



    You are caring and giving. You enjoy helping those you love.

    And when it comes to romantic love, you feel passionately ... even in a very long term relationship.

    I’ve Had It!

    Off to the doctors AGAIN. I was doing my exercised that the Physical Therapist gave me to do at home last night and I tweaked my knee so bad that I am back on crutches and in pain. I am so tired of this. I hope THIS will finally make them realize I need the MRI. I’m tired of going back to work and then taking days off because of something like this. I just need to find out what the heck is wrong and get it fixed already!

    Yesterday was DH’s bday. Luckily we went out to dinner on Sunday night because last night’s spaghetti with stuffed meatball dinner and bday cake was cancelled since he had to go out to do an emergency job. We plan on doing it tonight but between my knee and his work schedule who knows. He does love the GPS I got him so there was one good outcome of yesterday!

    Other than that, not much else new here. Hope everyone is well!

    Birthday Memories

    The SSD Blog asked us to blog about a memorable birthday. Mine will always be my 40th. There is nothing that I think will ever top it. 4 of my close girlfriends from all sides of the US (CA, FL, TX, NY) came to celebrate with me. We went to a scrapbooking crop on Cape Cod. It was definitely the best birthday I’ve ever had. We laughed and talked and ate and even scrapbooked a little. The weather was gorgeous for March on the Cape and I couldn’t have asked for more. Here is a photo of the 5 of us on the beach…

    121_2111

    I’ll never be able to thank these girls enough for making it the best birthday ever!

    WARNING – Whiny Post Ahead!

    I am sick of being sitting around. The Worker’s Comp Insurance people denied my MRI so I have to go back to the doc to figure out an ‘alternative’ to that. Nice huh? Oh and they paid me 1/2 of my normal week’s pay. I did my taxes and we owe the IRS so much money I can’t even type the amount cause it makes me sick to think of it! Oh yeah, DH is real happy with our new windows and siding but taking money out of your 401K is NOT the way to pay for things! Let’s see, think that’s enough well me too because it’s depressing so I’m gonna stop now! And if you made it through this post after the title you are a true friend!
