:sigh: I'm ready for this week to be over, please ( Read more... )

I talked to the nurse today, and my surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday. I'm going in this afternoon to fill out pre-op paperwork and stuff. In just a little over a week, I'll be recovering and hopefully on my way to finally being pain-free.

So, I'm kind of in love with Mötley Crüe. I've got a huge crush on Nikki Sixx, I'm developing a similar (if somewhat lesser) crush on Vince Neil after seeing them play live, and I've listened to at least one Mötley Crüe song every day since Crüe Fest. I can always find one of their songs that I'm in the mood to hear. My favorites include the ( Read more... )

Grades are in: I got an A for the summer semester!

Our youngest is a huge fan of Webkinz. Every time we get the kids, she asks to go on the computer so she can sign into Webkinz, and if she can, she'll spend hours online taking care of her pets. About a month ago I decided I wanted to see what the whole Webkinz thing was about, so she and I went to the nearest Hallmark to see which Webkinz animal ( Read more... )

I looked forward to Crüe Fest since I bought the tickets back in April, and I was not disappointed. It was a BLAST.

I finished the last part of my final exam today, which makes me officially through with classes, homework, tests, and the like for a month. Life without schoolwork feels gloriously decadent thus far. I can't imagine I'll get tired of it and start longing for the fall term to start up sooner, but we'll see how the rest of the month plays out.

That was the title of a spam e-mail I got last week. It cracked me up when I first saw it, and it's had the same result every time I've seen it since then. I don't know why, but it amuses the hell out of me, and, since it makes no sense at all, it fits the bill nicely as a title for this entry. To say that I've not been motivated to write lately ( Read more... )

Last week's surgery was a much better experience than I ever could have imagined. All of the staff was nice and considerate and courteous, the anesthesiologist gave me a shot with a teeny tiny needle to numb up my arm before he put in the iv so I didn't have any pain from that AT ALL, the nurses were fantastic about making sure I was comfortable - ( Read more... )
