OK, so I'm a bit of a "!!!" kind of girl. I like my smilies, my winkies, I'm just an emotional person! So that being said, I do apologize ahead of time to all my message board comrades...you will rarely find me in a negative mood of any sort, and it is my daily goal to make another person's day.
So there ; )
Anyway...David has been BEGGING me to get off the computer since he got home at 8:30...he had to work late, and I was on SCH having a great time and I didn't want to leave...and I still really haven't! So maybe now he knows what I feel like when he won't get off his computer from playing WOW, do ya catch me??
I had such a great time over there tonight...I don't feel like I killed any threads, unlike some OTHER message boards (***ahem!!***). Whatever. I'll do what I want. Because nobody puts Baby in a corner.
God, I love that movie! I was checking out Janobean's website yesterday and she is a movie FIEND!!! We like a lot of the same movies and don't like a lot of the same movies. Reading her list made me want to run to Blockbuster!
It's been raining here all day and it's kinda cold...my old-lady arthritis is kicking in around my tailbone where I broke my back and it hurts to sit for a long time. I WANT SPRING!!! Who's with me? Christie/cme37?????
I was supposed to do open houses this weekend, but thankfully John changed his mind because hello, it's a holiday! And our sellers didn't want us to do it anyway...so now I have TWO days off in a row, and that only ever happens if I'm sick!
For those of you who watch Y&R with me, it's gettin' good....John is BACK! And hello, Danny Romalotti/Michael Damian!!! Still lookin' good, Mr.! However, your son Daniel is a bit more my age (well, Daniel Grazedei is anyway) and he is GORGEOUS!! What I would give to meet him and/or Michelle Stafford!
Off to bed now...I've been up since 430 this morning and I am done!
Have a great night!

Okie Dokie Smokie!
That's one of my favorite sayings...I couldn't think of a clever title, I'm so tired!
So we're super busy at work...John has gotten 7 listing since the end of February, so I've had a ton of advertising to do, along with my other duties, of course!
My colitis is almost gone, I still have to watch what I eat...I've definitely been drinking more water and eating more fiber, so that has been helping a lot. I can't really give too many details because it's GROSS, but if you must know, send me an email and I can educate you!
One of the most exciting things that's happened in the past few weeks is that we bought a GPS system for my car....for those of you who don't know, I have NO internal sense of direction whatsoever! I got lost in the city (southwest St. Louis, really, and then a bit north of there) and when I'm lost I get really nervous, my hands start to sweat, and I automatically have to pee! But I don't stop because I don't know what part I'm in, which makes it worse...and it's just a vicious cycle. Not to mention the wasting of gas that has become very expensive! So I talked David into letting me get one, and it worked perfectly yesterday morning when I used it for the first time and had to take a detour from U. City into the city and I wouldn't have known that I needed to go through the city and not around it, if not for "Genie"...that's her name. Not "GPS", but Genie.
I figured if I named her we could get along a bit better...because I'm not to up on technology either...but Genie is actually super easy to use. And Best Buy is having them on sale this week, so that will be a nice price adjustment for me! Now I won't have to get so flustered and nervous on my way to open houses on Sundays! Maybe I'll never get lost again!!!!
Another thing I am excited about is that I recently joined a new message board. I really enjoy it, everyone is super nice, and it's more cozy and "homey" than the one I previously spent my time on. It's safe and it feels good not to be a thread killer (who's with me???)
Seriously.
I was driving home the other day and started thinking about something, then thought, "oh, I'll write about that on my blog!"....but then I forgot what it was.
I probably got distracted by something I had to do for work.
Welcome to my life.

Diverticu-What? and the Colitis Diet.
So I've been having some stomach pain for a few days, not too bad, then I started my period 2 weeks early and thought I was just having major cramps on Thursday. But even my most major cramps have gone away and these did not, and they were very specific on my body...on the left side of my stomach.
Thursday morning at work I felt this ripping pain...piercing, throbbing...rush from my tailbone to my belly button...lasted for about 20 minutes. I couldn't take it, I had to go home.
I lied on the couch for the rest of the day, for it hurt to really move/stand up/sit up. I've felt this before, been through this before. Last time they were on the right side of my stomach. I knew. I should've trusted my instincts but my dear, DEAR husband didn't want to take me to urgent care because "let's just see if it gets better." So I said, "And on David time, when will that be???" Yeah, I was annoyed at him.
So I went to the dr. Friday morning and up, I've got colitis again, this time with diverticulitis. Very painful stuff. Dr. told me that anytime you have abdominal pain or chest pain, seek immediate medical attention. Good advice, I say...I'll pass that info right along to my DEAR husband!
Had an x-ray, waiting to get a cat scan this Thursday, and a colonoscopy in the next month or so. On antibiotics and pain killers (thank God for these!) which do seem to be helping. Haven't eaten probably 1500 calories since Wednesday TOTAL and I am SOOOO hungry!!! Can only eat soup and clear liquids for now.
Now I know I should drink more water and eat a more "high fiber" diet...lesson learned, can we be done with this please???
Funny thing my dr. said....people in their 60s usually get this...he's never seen anyone my age with it before. I do feel old now! Old and in pain...
I was also joking with David about it...everyone kept asking if I was pregnant b/c of the stomach pains....well, if this is how my first pregnancy starts off, he is in for a veeeerrrry long 9 months...even I feel sorry for him!

The Bill Cosby Inspiration
This has to be a short one since I need to get some work done....but I was watching Oprah today and Bill Cosby was on, promoting his book with his co-author and talking about parenting and society.
Then he said something that really hit home with me:
"Hurt people hurt people."
As in...people who are hurting...hurt other people.
Kind of like my mother and I. She was hurting (for who knows what reason) and she was always hurting me (another post or five for another day!). I REFUSE to pass this along to my kids, so that is why I do not want anything to do with her ever again (again, another discussion for another day!).
So the hurting cycle can stop. I will be the one that HAS to make it stop...to make a choice to have it stop...to just STOP.
I cannot, will not, should not let her influence my kids' lives (even though they are a mere glint in our eyes). And by taking her out of my life, this guarantees that she will not hurt my kids.
I don't know if this makes sense, but I had to get it out on paper.
