Blowin' in the Wind

It seems I've fallen off the edge of the earth...whoops!

I just came up with that title randomly. Then I thought maybe I'd post some of my favorite blog entries I've read lately so it would make sense... Then I realized I haven't read any that were all that noteworthy.

Things to be excited about:

My birthday is in 9 days. WOOO!!! This means I get to see some out-of-towners I miss too.

Shark week is next week.

I got a new riding lawn mower. Andy says I look awesome on it. I think he only said that because I was wearing a see-through dress without a bra at the time. Or because me on the mower means that he's not mowing.

My parents got siding and got their pool fixed, so I now I shall swim swim swim!

I am going to the cider mill soon, and will eat apple cider donuts.

My sister has lost 20 pounds and is getting a promotion.

Andy will be back tomorrow

Tonight is dinner & drinks with J.

I got 125K on Bejeweled Blitz.

I will be getting cable & Internet at my house this weekend.

Well, that's all I can think of right now, but I'm an excited lady!

Pearl Jam Rock Band

Cool because fans get to pick the set list... Maybe not quite a FTW, since there IS a Beatles one coming soon, but... Ya know.

I need to get back into these games. I haven't played in too long. Tonight, in the absence of my other half, GH:WT here I come! :)

I feel like a total lame-o. The only things I've posted about lately all pertain to my relationship drama, and that's pretty much boring and crappy. I have no real excuse for it, I don't suppose, outside the fact that my life has been fairly uneventful lately....that might actually be a total lie.

So after the Toadies concert, which was fucking awesome, came the weekend I went to Rockford for AMarie's bridal shower. It was a great weekend. Spent 2 consecutive nights at the 'Tudes, which by default makes it a great weekend! Plus it was just fun to take a road trip with the Mother Unit. We stopped at a winery on the way, and just dilly-dallied our way up there & back. The shower was really nice, and she claims they like the knives we got, so it's all good in the hood.

Then 2 weekends ago was the Beale Street Music Festival. We road tripped down to Memphis, where it proceeded to rain the entire weekend while we were at the outdoor music festival. That made it slightly unpleasant but only slightly. I like mud. And I love James Taylor. And Wet Willie's was everything Bill said it would be! Although Miami would have been a better setting for slushies than rainy Beale Street, but what can ya do!

This past Friday I saw Fleetwood Mac. It was a pretty awesome show. Stevie Nicks sort of wimped out of the high notes, which was disappointing, and they did a really awkward version of "Never Going Back Again", my favorite FM song. But Lindsey Buckingham is a GOD, and his awesomeness far overshadowed any of the disappointment I felt at times. Great show. After that we went to see a coworker in a Fleetwood Mac tribute band. They were great as well. I never thought I'd see an Asian Stevie Nicks! :-p The scene was pretty odd - it was a circus party...Satin swings above the bar & people in bizarre costumes. Fun though, once the crowd dissipated some!

Besides that, just did housework & saw my Mom and Grandma on Mother's Day. What's new in your lives?

Overview
The sun is rising just a bit more brightly today and your heart is just a bit lighter. Do you feel the tide turning? Hope is a powerful thing, and you've been able to hold on to enough of it to make a real difference. Blue periods can be tough, but they always result in more self-awareness and contentment. Slowly, you're entering a positive phase of strength, confidence, and knowing what you want. People are ready for the 'new you' to shine!

So for the past few months I've been getting these inexplicable extreme pains in my lower abdomen. It's been random when they happen until the past 3 or so weeks when it's been almost constant. I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago, and they sent me to get an ultrasound. I finally got the results last week and it turns out I have something called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (or, as I call it, POS). Basically both of my ovaries have multiple cysts on them. There is nothing they can do about it until at least 3-6 months from now, if I'm still in pain. For the time being, I pop painkillers like they're candy. And they didn't say what happens after 6 months. I just know I can't handle this for that long! Gar!

GOING TO SEE THE TOADIES TONIGHT! FUCKING PUMPED!!!
