This is Great!

It's no secret that I hate people who cheat on their significant other. Haven sent me this because she found it funny. This is vindication :) I love it!!!

Today I went to my doctor. This is the same doctor that basically diagnosed me with AML years ago, mind you. I got lucky because there was a cancellation and I was able to get in and be seen. Lately, I've been going to the doctor in which my friend Lisa practices under. So it has been a while since I've seen Dr. Dale.

I told him that in the past six months I've had several sore throats, colds, and lots of fatigue. He said that all of my lymph nodes were swollen. When I thought he was just 'feeling me up' he was actually trying to see if my spleen was swollen. The look on his face was the same sad look he had when he told me that I had to be seen by an Oncologist. He sent me to this very cold waiting room while I read Family Circle magazine 3x's cover to cover and I still can't tell you anything about any of the articles!! The same fear I had before was back. The butcher/nurse that took my blood said it was fine for me to leave and the doctor would be in touch. So, I drove home. No music. Just driving. I passed cars but I saw nothing. I was numb.

Before I got to my garage it was Dr. Dale's office. They told me to come back to the office. My parents who assumed I would be in SC by now were in McLean. I called my grandmother. She met me @ the dr's office with my aunt Cornelia and Charles aka pawpaw's keeper!

We went in immeadiatly. We heard the nurse tell the doctor that I was back. I was still numb and my knees that which were shaking had to be held by my grandmother because my fear was so visible. I wanted to cry but I knew I couldn't I didn't have the diagnosis. In my heart of hearts I knew it was back. Finally, Dr. Dale came in and told me the news.

I thought I was going to die. Die because I was relieved. He told me that I had Mono! The AML WAS NOT BACK!!! He said that it's likely that I picked this up because my immune system is weak. My grandmother and I couldn't stop hugging because we were so relieved. He says that it's likely that I got Mono from a student at school. Most dirty college kids have it and it keeps spreading from person to person. I got it because my body is still weak from AML. The treatments compromised my immune system.

Atleast now I know I'm not lazy. I have the sore throats for a reason. I get the "You're always sick" from everyone which at times saddens me, but nothing makes me more sad than fighting a losing battle.

So I'll take Mono. I'll take it anyday!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Blogger!

It's my blog's third birthday!

Being the committment phobe that I am
I'm surprised I stuck it out this long!
Thanks for numerous reasons.
One to include my extreme naivete
to the asshole nature of 90% of the population
of men in VA.
They have provided me with great material.
Thanks to girlfriends in which are ho'cakes
for being just that!
Thanks to my parents for making me become such a artsy junkie!
Happy Birthday Blog!

I'm Not Going To Jail!

I thought I was going to be sharing a cell with Nicole Ritchie but nearly $1200 later, I'm a free woman! I had to go to court for my speeding ticket and it wasn't pretty nor was it fun. I was shaking in my heels. I didn't fit in with those dirty criminals and it was obvious.

I could have easily had this ticket 'lost' if I wanted because Super Trooper was hitting on me. He walked out of the court room with me because I was the last case because of my last name. Yep...this could have all been written off if I had been wearing the cute trapeze dress the day I got the ticket!!! Yep, he was very nice & pleasant even saying "bless you" everytime I sneezed because I have a cold from hell. What I thought was getting better, isn't. It's hard to swallow and I'm congested. Beautiful, right?! And Vitamin C does not prevent colds. FYI.

I'm recruiting someone to go down to Myrtle Beach with me for a few days to soak up the sun. Becca is a no go. Looks like I'll be calling Michelle.

Observation of the Day

Observation of the day...MY WALK

It's more of a strut really.
There is definitely a swishing back and forth of my hips.
A definite jiggle to the bosom. (could be the bra, but I'm going to take all the credit anyway)
A certain confidence in the swing of my arms and the placement of my shoulders.
Stick me in heels and a skirt, forget about it.

I need my own soundtrack.

I wonder what my song would be.

Suggestions? Thoughts?

Geeked Out

Check out this four minute preview of NBC'S Bionic Woman debuting in Sept.

I'm stoked! Looks soooooo good!!!

Just an Update

I'm doing much better. What a difference two weeks makes :)

I'm working out again, after the fall--I stopped. I should be my goal weight in a few weeks?!

Summer is here and I love it! It's been a hot summer & I thrive in it. My tan is looking good.

More later!!!

This May Help You Get More @ss!

STUPID THINGS THAT MEN DO:
1. Being a whiny, clingy bitch - No, it doesn’t make you a “nice guy that never gets the girl” it makes you a needy, pathetic person. Everyone needs some personal space, you don’t have to call 15 times a day, take it down a notch or 7.

2. Being jealous - Of all the traits, this one is the absolute fucking worst, it is insecurity at it’s ugliest. It’s human nature to be attracted to other people, get over it. If you are a real man, you don’t need to worry about your girl leaving you. Trying to fight every guy in the bar that says hi to your girl makes you a douchebag, not a hero.

3. Being a slob – Guess what fellas, bringing a girl home to your roach infested apartment, your fridge with nothing but Milwaukee’s Best, smelling like your pet dog and your Scarface poster on the wall isn’t the way to impress a lady. Believe it or not, having to sweep cheet-os off your bed is a huge turn off.

4. Having no style – You don’t need to drop $800 at the Armani Exchange to look good. Unless you’re a college freshman, lose the fucking ball cap, flip flops and “I love lesbians” t-shirt. Groom yourself, take care of your skin, your nails and pluck the goddamn unibrow. Under NO circumstances should you wear a cheesy gold necklace on the outside of your shirt..Vinnie.

5. Bragging – Ugh, if you are the shit, people will figure it out on their own, you don’t need to constantly tell them why you are the shit. If you need to remind people why you are cool…you aren’t.



Take Notes Fellas!!!

My Neighbor's Security System

How To Install A Home Security System

1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's Work Boot's size 14-16 (used)

2. Place them on front porch, along with a copy of Gun And Ammo Magazine.

3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and Magazine

4. Leave a note on your door that reads:

Hay Bubba,

Big Jim, Duke, Slim, and I gone for more ammunition. Will be back in one hour. Don't mess with the pit bull's -- they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad.
I don't think Killer took part in it,but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all of the dog's in the house. Better just wait outside until we can get back.
