For I am NOTHING without a bullet-point list!

• All is good on the health front! The fibroids are, to quote my doctor, "little Mickey Mouse ears on my uterus", meaning that they're small and in the exact same spot on opposite sides. Most importantly they're not causing any major problems other than the severe cramping so he's going to leave them alone and just monitor them for now. The ultrasound did reveal "venous congestion" meaning I have an abundance of veins in my uterus and ovaries which is the more likely culprit of my insanely heavy cycles. There's really nothing that can be done about it, but he put my on a cocktail of heavy duty Ibubrofen and Vicodin for my cramps. Yay drugs!
• Timothy Olyphant has a painting in the attic because I swear he looks as good on Damages as he did in Go. Sexier even.
• I don't understand what's going on on Lost, but I love it!
• I'm going to see Watchmen at the IMAX with the girls next weekend. I also really want to see Race to Witch Mountain because goshdarnit Duane Johnson is charming as hell. I also want to see Duplicity which I cannot believe. Oh, I was always going to see it for the Clive factor alone. But he and Julia Roberts actually look like they have chemistry in it too.
• I cannot even discuss the whole Rihanna/Chris Brown debacle without risking a rage blackout.
• My office has decided to do a community project this year, and we've decided to do a Backpack Club. We're going to send backpacks full of food home with elementary school children who receive free lunch during the school week so that they and their families will have food over the weekend and even well into the week. With the help of the school social worker, we've identified 20 kids who are in need at one school and the social worker has received approval from all but 3 of their parents so far, so we're going to do our first backpacks this week. I'm SO excited! David and I went shopping this morning at my new favorite place, the Dollar Tree. I got so much great stuff - raisins, fruit roll-ups, pudding, juice boxes - enough for 3 weeks for all the kids, and it cost me less than $40! Best of all, my company will pay $20/hr for our time spent on the project up to $2500 which we can use to cover our expenses, and whatever's left will be donated to my county's Second Harvest Food Bank. We're estimating we'll be able to donate about $1000 - $1500 in June when school gets out which is HUGE for the food bank. I cannot wait to start packing and delivering the backpacks.
• Our tenth wedding anniversary is this year, and I want to go to Turks and Caicos. I want to go here but David laughed hysterically when he saw the nightly rates. Yeah yeah it's a pipe dream, but at least I found a new place to add to my "When I Hit The Lottery" places to go list. My next choice is here which is actually doable for 6 days/5 nights if we can find reasonable flights. Plus, we can use AmEx points for this place and save about $1000!
• I have rediscovered my love for Boston Baked Beans. Thanks again, Dollar Tree!
• It's supposed to snow here tonight. I'll believe it when I see it, of course, but I'm sooo ready for winter to be over. Spring/summer fashions are much more fun to shop for. Especially skirts/dresses and sandals. There are about 25 pairs of wedges calling to me from Piperlime RIGHT NOW!
• Somewhere along the way, I've started to really like Halle Berry. She always used to have this whif of desperate, kinda crazy tv anchorwoman vibe about her, but she's been looking so incredibly happy and GORGEOUS lately with Gabriel and that adorable baby that I'm happy for her.
• I'm going to be the only person watching Kings aren't I?
• I'm off to finish Buffy S1.
