Thank You Lexi!
Isn't Lexi the coolest?? I absolutly LOVE the stuff she does on the computer. (Well, I absolutly love her so why wouldn't I love what she does on the computer?!) Thank You so much! I love it to peices.
On another note, I think I am going to try and update everyday if I can. Right now I'm reading a book called "Why my Wife Thinks I'm an Idiot" by Mike Greenberg. He's one of the sports guys I listend to on ESPN radio in the morning. And what I've read so far (and I'm assuming how the rest of the book is) is based upon a journal he started to keep. The Dr. that told him to keep one said to do it everyday.
I'm going to challenge myself and see if I can't write everyday. And not just a "I have nothing to say post" or a "what I did today post", but actually take a thought and expound (is that a word) upon it. See if I can't come up with something at least somewhat clever. And if I find myself not having the opportunity to write online, actually update my writing journal. I used to all the time and as of the past year I've been a major slacker. But I think it'll be good for me. I think it's good for anyone. To force yourself to write something, anything. It always amazes me what can come out of a person on paper. To actually put ones thoughts down. Who knows, I might learn something about myself, or other people. Writing makes a person see more clearly.
And thought processes are great. I was thinking about that earlier. I found myself thinking about my Aunt who passed away a little more than a year ago this morning. I didn't even realize I was thinking about her until I realized how sad it was making me. Chirs, in his half asleep state rolled over (and by over I mean, away from me as to get more comfy to fall back asleep) and asked me what I was thinking about. I said nothing. But to myself I thought...how the heck did I start thinking of Aunt Essie. So I traced my thought process back a few steps. It was a good exersice. Not that I hadn't done something like that before, but like I said, it's time to start writing about things....anything.
Did I mention Lexi is the coolest ever?!
On a sadder note, my little brother was admitted to the hospital today. He's had brain problems since he was born. He's gone through lots of brain surgerys and lately he's been having lots of seizures. Yesterday he had 3 and today 4. That's crazy! So my mom took him to the hospital his doctors are at and they admited him. Who knows how long he'll have to stay there. Its so scary. I try not to think about it. I actually don't. Every time the thoughts creep into my head I change the subject with myself. (Tricky aren't I?) I can't even bring myself to type the possible outcomes of the situation. He might have to have another brain surgery. A different kind this time where they have to actually crack his skull open. I hope not. I hope they can figure this thing out with medicine.
He's such a good boy. So brave. Much more so than I would ever be in his position. These are the times I wish I were in Chicago most. I want to go to the hospital and be there for him. Be with my mom and dad and just be support for them. I miss them all, and to be so far away when something like this is going on....it's hard.
And now...back to a positive note....Lexi is the coolest, most awesome person ever! (excpet for Chris of course ;)
