A Busy Weekend

This weekend went by quickly, but it was a good one. Saturday, I bummed around the house doing things here and there most of the day. It was so beautiful outside, that I had windows open, and the front door open! I sat out on the porch for a few times, totally soaking up the warmth of the sun. I just loved it! What a way to boost my spirits after a yucky Friday. My neck still hurt, but I just took it easy. I wrapped all the gifts I had for my sister's first baby shower, made some white chocolate-covered strawberries for girls' night (which didn't turn out how I thought they would, but they tasted FABULOUS!!), and got to read a bunch more out in the sun. It was a nice day.....and then, it was girls' night!

I went to Mo's with my sisters, and there ended up being seven of us there. It is always so nice to hang out with the girls! We gossiped, ate yummy munchies, and just laughed! We also watched the movie, Sideways. The movie is hilarious, for anyone who hasn't seen it. At least, we thought it was when we saw it in the theaters. There are some scenes in there that just made us laugh so hard, you would have thought we were not breathing!! Just a funny movie! Anyhow, after a while it was down to Mo, Dee and I. And boy, did we get to talk about guys. It was so needed....Dee, with the weird psychos who totally seemed to be ok at first, and then ended up being huge jerks in the end; Mo, with a totally great guy in all aspects, except that he can't decide if marriage is right for him; and me with just nobody, except for one prospect that is ending up being not too promising. And boy, did Mo ever get riled up as she was talking to us about stuff!! It was just definitely needed, and I didn't get home and into bed until around 2:30am!! It was a great time, though!!

Today was Mandy's shower, and it was very nice. The weather was even better than yesterday, and we spent part of the shower outside on the deck. They had games and stuff, they were fun. Mandy got a LOT of nice things, especially the little clothes!! I tell you what, my little niece is gonna be stylin'! lol Seeingall of the things she got makes me a little more impatient in waiting for Hailey's arrival. lol I'm just so excited!!

Well, that was my weekend, and it wasn't too bad! I was thought-free about Euan, because I made myself not think about him. Well, except for a few moments in our girls' night discussions. And since I have a busy couple days this week, I am not going to think about him for a while. Or at least not have long thoughts about him. I can't guarantee a fleeting moment here and there. lol I can't worry about it. If it's meant to be, it'll happen. It's not really up to me anymore. And with that, I am off to read or do something for a while! :-D

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save...

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in ...

Lost

Growing up with pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease was sometimes lonely, because there wasn't anyone around me who felt the same way I did physically. No one had to stay out of gym because they got too tired and too short of breath like I did on a constant basis. No one had to wear a holter monitor like the one time I had to in 4th grade. Talk about trying to play mum ball in class, all you could hear was the monitor thing making noise. Although I could always go to sports games, I wasn't able to participate in any type of sport, because again, it was just physically way too much for my body to handle. I didn't really regret any of this. I thought it was just me and my normal. I thought I was the only person out there who really dealt with this kind of thing, but that was ok. I graduated high school, and started college. I worked, went to classes, and in the last year of college, started going out a lot more. I graduated with my education degree, and began ...
