I was able to see the surgeon yesterday for the cyst. I'm on antibiotics AGAIN. I hate those with a passion. Mainly because you already have something wrong and you get to add an upset stomach to it. I was under the impression that when I was in the ER they removed a whole sweat gland to remedy the infection. The surgeon I saw yesterday told me differently. Not that I would have known what

A big good morning to all! Sometimes people really surprise you in a good way. A while back my pastor asked me to chair an outreach committee at church. Another member of my church extended an offer to work with me. I have a million ideas, but she has the experience of being involved in a lot of committees. Perfect match. She suggested that on Communion Sunday, which is the first Sunday of

I wanted very badly to post yesterday from work, but as most of us know things never go as planned. Yesterday ended up being helacious. I already know today will follow suit. I am doing at huge check run at work and there is a baby shower that is somehow supposed to fit into the scheme of things as well. If I can find the time today or tonight I will be posting. There is a really great book I

I am determined to find a way to fix it. Anyhoo as I was approaching my 90 days I got waylayed by the bacteria fairy.It started with an abscess, for which my Dr. gave me a strong antibiotic and

On Saturday Dave & I went with mom to the annual "pierogi making day" for the Soroptomists to lend some help. We made 85 dozen pierogis by hand!! The proceeds go to a scholarship which will be awarded in March. It was for a great cause but after 7 or 8 hours of doing this..I don't want to see a potato for a long time. Today we were both so exhausted we didn't even go to church. It's 3pm now

You may or may not have noticed my absence in January. This was due to a lot of factors. The first being a major depression which mostly arose from my work situation. I was really crushed when I learned about my new hours. It's hard enough to make yourself go to a job you detest, let alone go when your family is at home and give up everything you do together. This was the situation the "

Still recovering from a hellacious migraine I had all day yesterday and a bit this morning. Of course I had no idea where my medication was either. Thank goodness I only worked 4 hours yesterday. I get the headaches from time to time but this one was a killer! At least there is usually months between those whammies.This is the reason I am behind today. I needed to straighten up so bad

I was initially very upset and hurt about this, but there is nothing I can do about it, so... the card will still hopefully be a tremendous surprise, albiet late.I've been

I have some serious organizing to do!As I said earlier Dave & I had wanted to be out of the house more as well as more involved in our community. Ask and ye shall receive!We are currently at church 2 or 3 nights a week. We have Wednesday night Bible Study (learning a lot!) and classes for membership as well as various things gearing up for the very busy upcoming holidays. The Holloween party is

My apologies to anyone who actually reads my blog :) Dave & I have been running like crazy. I'm sure it will only get busier, but I am making a super effort to get back on track, ie organized! The blog will be returning either this week or next.

Just finished American Government today. My final grade after the 7th exam was a 95%! Another reason for Dave to call me egghead. I also finished my first Web Design text and after the last test only got an 85%, which really got my shorts in a bunch. Thus the lack of blogging this past week. Both are correspondence courses.

To butterflies! At first sight, I thought these buggers were related to the awful tomato horn worms Dave & I were fighting at the beginning of summer. Upon reading further, I found out that they will turn into swallowtail butterflies. The only two herbs they will eat is dill and parsley. Well...I decided to donate my parsley.

I'm thinking SALSA & tomato sauce!I brought these in from my container garden last night. This leads me to a food post! I found some great sites for recipes and budget cooking. The first, and my favorite by a longshot is:AllRecipes.com You can even do an advanced search by ingredients you want and don't want. This is great for leftovers or that thing in your fridge you want to eat but don't know

First, over the weekend I got in touch with a friend that I haven't spoken to in over 10 years! You know when you can have a gabfest like you saw someone yesterday... that's a sign of real friendship. We used to hang out at each other's houses all the time and DJ'd in college together. I had so much fun talking to her and catching up. She sent me some beautiful wedding photos and I will be

You may have read in some of my past blogs that I had been diligently looking to do some volunteer work in my local area to no avail.To date I have shown an interest with 3 or 4 local charities with no response.

Every week after church Dave and I eat lunch out. It's our family day, so aside from things that really need to get done, we spend it in a very leisurely fashion. We usually go to the same diner (with the same waiter even) every week with the neighbors. They didn't go to church yesterday, so Dave let me pick where we would eat. Yippee!

All this week I have been working from 10-2, which is much later than usual for me. As a result, I find myself walking in the door, after running errands on the way home, much later than I regularly do. Thus the lack of blogging this week.Today, I'm going to try something different. I activated the feature whereby I can post via email from work (not that I'd ever do that on work time :)If all

My apologies. I overestimated my readiness to begin blogging again. I guess I thought I was over the personal situation that spiraled me into a major funk because I wanted it to be so. Sometimes the psyche doesn't agree with what we want to be.I know now, after being home with Dave for the week and really getting some old, long overdue projects done, that the "mental housecleaning" is complete.

New week...new beginnings. After a much needed mental vacation, I am returning full force. It took some time, but I have just had to reflect on some situations and realize that, if I can't do anything to change a particular situation or relationship, I must just let go of it, no matter how much it pains me.Last week there was a development in my life that I let get to me in the worst way.

As evidenced from my lack of blogging, this week has been hella busy.I was finally able to visit the Food Bank of South Jersey this week, when I dropped off our check for the Buy a Bag Fundraiser. The warehouse is really impressive and the people I met very nice. I do have to find a shorter route, as I think this may be the place I've been looking for to become involved with. I reminds me a

Well, I guess I have to go back to saving my posts in notepad again. Blogger hates me lately..and I really don't feel any comfort when told, after just losing my blog that the engineers are aware of the problem..please check back later. aaargh! As far as uploading photos, I guess it'll have to be done from Flickr.Last night we went to our second "World Religions" class at church and itwas

I should have some wonderful lily pics to post today! I am definately not a heat person. I got six more plants in the other day and oh lord..I had water running off the end of my nose. On the good side I have only Ivy and Perriwinkle to plant in the front (have a bald side) and 3 lilies to put out back. I was going to add them out front with the tiger lily and stargazers, but decided to do a

My obsessive self had to not only solve the puzzles, but beat the posted average time! I have also decided to pick back up the task of learning French..pray for me.

my sinuses are under attack! i haven't blogged or posted pics (or checked my email for that matter) for several days, because some alien has moved into my sinus cavities. You know when you feel like poop and barely can drive to work (i only work 7 miles from home too) and then drag through work and get home as soon as you can so you can lay down? today i'm sucking down sudafed all day and taking

what beautiful snapdragons these will become! I spent yesterday afternoon on the internet reading about two things in particular. The first was a very bizarre disease, Morgellons, which sounds to odd to be true. Apparently there have been cases reported in every state though. How amazing that I have never heard of this. I read tons of magazines and the newspaper every day. Not a mention thus far

Just got home with my baby from the groomer/vets...he hates me! they shaved all his long hair off and he had to get a shot. My poor baby has a hot spot on his wittle tail. He will be on prednisone and an antibiotic capsule and spray for a bit. Hopefully this grudge won't last the whole weekend!I'm posting a before and after pic !More blogging later have to go make peace with my puppy.

Wow! This weekend was a wonderful whirlwind.We had my 4 year old niece Julia with us from Friday to Sunday night and she is such a delight. I just want to gobble her up! The worst part is that she is well aware of how she has Dave and I wrapped around her finger.We took her with us Friday night to church for a women's covered dinner and she had a lot of fun. Of course great grandmom and grandmom

The Sound of SilenceHello darkness, my old friend,I've come to talk with you again,Because a vision softly creeping,Left its seeds while I was sleeping,And the vision that was planted in my brainStill remainsWithin the sound of silence.In restless dreams I walked aloneNarrow streets of cobblestone,'Neath the halo of a street lamp,I turned my collar to the cold and dampWhen my eyes were stabbed by

Oddly enough I love to garden without gloves. Touching the earth, to me, is a beautiful thing. Obviously, I am not, nor will I ever be a girly manicure and coiff girl. That's okay with me. Dave and I worked for hours on the back yard and I am thrilled with the results. A lot of people believe that you have to be in or at a church to have a connection with God. I do not subscribe to this

Unfortunately, Dave may be prounouncing my Dell Laptop's death today. Alas, even with a boot disc nothing. We think there is a bad sector on my hard drive. I am absolutely crushed about the photos I hadn't transferred to my external hard drive as well as the bookmarks I've lost. It never dawned on me to export them to a disc. I had recently done a huge transfer of files, but not recent

Well, I've decided I've had enough. I spent a lot of time over the past few days doing a lot of online research. I have had psoriasis for years and as of late it's really been getting on my nerves. In the past it has actually been bad enough to land me in the hospital with an infected sebaceous cyst. This is basically a sweat gland that gets blocked, in my case because of my skin problems,

While spending too much time surfing yesterday, I found some fun links. They are at the bottom of the post. Please let it be known that I did also get several hours of housework done as well as make Dave Meatloaf, corn & mashed pots for dinner...mmm diner food! I am currently obsessed with cleaning. Specifically my white linoleum kitchen floor. This is bad because it will never ever be clean. I
