So the woman who I was doing those cross stitch projects for has asked if I could do 4 more. I told her sure $250 each. She said ok! I can't believe I'm getting paid to do cross stitch. She told a friend about me while showing off my work and now her friend is interested in hiring me for a project.
I kinda like the idea of getting paid to do a hobby. So long as it doesn't turn into a 40hr a week job. Then it wouldn't be as enjoyable. :) |

Went to see my childhood friend, Kelly, last weekend. She moved to DC to attend Georgetown. She finished her thesis and defended it almost 6 months ago: “Spatial Regulation of Chromosomal Replication in a Bacterial Model System.” Tumor biology is her thing. In March she started working for the Navy and is really enjoying it.
It was so nice to see her. It’s been too long. She was a great hostess. Her graduation was on Friday and that took the whole day and evening. We had a nice dinner on the river front and then went our separate ways. We went to see a few monuments on Saturday after we went to the Eastern Market. Nick and I then crashed at the hotel for a couple of hours and then watched ATHF till 1am. Our legs and feet were so sore with all the walking. Sunday we took our time getting ready and checking out of the hotel. Had a nice breakfast and then went to coffee with Kelly and Nick’s friend. He also had a graduation ceremony this weekend. After coffee we went to the Pentagon Mall and wandered for an hour or so. By then we had to catch our flight home.
I was sad to leave. I miss her so much. |

Finals are done! I've already received my grade for one of my classes and I got a 2.2. Which I'm very happy about because I was concerned that I would have to retake it. A 2.2 means that I don't.
I have a week off and then I start Algebra. |

I was really hoping for a snow day. OU and OCC are just about the only schools open today! |

The doc called me in to go over my lab results. Lyme disease is trying to come back so he wanted to put me back on antibiotics but a low dose for now. I told him that was fine. Hopefully it won't get to the point where I'm put back on the picc line. I was miserable those 7-8 weeks. He also reminded me that I will eventually get rid of this completely. It's starting to feel like this is never going to end...
Deep down I know I'll be totally healthy again. It just gets frustrating sometimes. |

While there were some very irritating moments, overall I had blast with the Cafe Penguicon. I hope everyone else had fun too. The room was jammed packed from 8pm until about 12am. Non-stop! My feet are so sore today. I did leave the room for a few to check out the Pirate's room party across the hall and was very impressed with it.
Thank you so much for having patience with me and helping me out. It seemed like people really enjoyed themselves and are looking forward to Penguicon in April. (Ger and I have been tossing around the idea of throwing a room party ourselves.) The chocolate fountain was a hit! The LN2 icecream was sooo much fun. And people really liked the Bubble Gum flavored Cola.
And Thank you to my awesome husband Nick for running to the store for us, showing up with dinner for me, and drawing the smiley face and my cleavage. |

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? I mean laughing so hard you're crying and/or your tummy hurts. On my drive home tonight from hanging out with friends I thought to myself, "I'm really grateful I'm at a place in my life where I often laugh that hard." My husband and his friends interacting will usually have me laughing a lot. Tonight I had one of those laughs and it was over the silliest thing. Jer had simply picked up some snow and packed it into a snowball, looked at me and then set it on the hood of his car. I'm sure he saw the horror in my face. All I could think was, "This is going to hurt..." Then I started laughing at myself. I was convinced he was going to hit me with that snowball and I would cry. And it's going to be the funniest thing ever! I was so scared to turn my back on him which was making me laugh even harder. He did throw one at the passenger window of my car hard enough to sound as if it would break. Not that it would take much. This was after we spent a couple of hours out to coffee laughing our asses off from joking around. The kitties will do something every once in a while that will have me totally disabled due to laughing. It's usually at their expense though. Norman will scare the shit out of himself which will cause a chain reaction of events like falling off the table, knocking something down with him and running into the wall trying to get away. They will run into the window thinking it's open or when the kitten tried to jump from the bed to the dresser and from over excitement at the thought of getting a toy, totally miscalculated and went face first into the dresser. Well this turned out to be a longer post than I intended. Anyway, it was just a thought. Current Mood: happy |

On Sunday I worked a craft show with my mom and mother-in-law. My mom is terrified of everything so I was expecting a long car ride there and back. On the way there she did great. No fidgeting or grabbing at the car door or me and no yelling for me to slow down. The car ride home was another story. As soon as we hit heavy traffic I thought she was going to pass out. She was gripping the passenger door so hard her hands were white and her breathing was on the verge of a panic attack. I kept seeing her foot go for the brake that wasn't there. I really wanted to tell her to relax but I knew it would only annoy her and probably start an argument. So I made a comment like "Wow. Traffic is much more heavy now than it was this morning..." and that started her talking about how she hates driving/riding in cars and that she even has Larry (my stepdad) drive her to the store when she needs it. She refuses to drive anywhere unless she absolutely has to. Talking about it seemed to relax her and before she knew it we were past the heavy traffic and she let go of the car door. :) |

kidney stones anyone?
Since Tuesday I have been ill with kidney stones. Not fun. Excruciating pain. To the point of not remembering much of Tuesday night or Wednesday. I can remember it hitting me out of the blue and vomiting but once I was in the emergency room, there is just pieces. I know I didn't get any pain meds for hours after my arrival and that I had to keep reminding nurses to give me pain and nausea meds. I was discharged Wednesday night and made it on my own for about 5 hours. I went back in because of vomiting.
Once again the pain was unbearable and the vomiting was worse than the night before. I couldn't keep the pain meds down so it was like taking nothing. It seems as though there was a shorter wait on Wednesday night than the night before but it could be all in my mind. I was released again on Thursday night and this time they gave me a nausea med prescription.
As soon as I got home I jumped in the shower before the hospital's pain meds wore off. Something I noticed was how pumped full of liquids I was. I felt incredibly fat. I couldn't move my toes and fingers freely. No needlework, writing, or typing. Not that I could concentrate on anything anyway. I tried reading but I would make through a page and then fall asleep.
Today is the first day that I am able to be up and moving around. My mind is still a little hazy from the vicodin. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the stone. |

Financial Aid fell through again for the fall semester. This is two years in a row so maybe this is a clue that I need to take some time off to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. :) I'll use this time to take advantage of OCC's career research center and see what happens. I am at a point in my education where I need to make a decision. If I could have a career in going to school I'd be all set. :) Current Mood:  contemplative |

In the middle of writing a post last night, the power went out. When the power came back on it was at half capacity. So no air conditioning, tv, and hardly any lights or fans. I saw the DTE trucks and water trucks pull into the neighborhood about 10:30 this morning and still no power. We had a pretty good storm last night. Anyone else get hit hard? I guess it's a good weekend for MPCon after all. |
