It feels so good to look at your “To Do” list and see so many checkmarks! In addition to the regular weekend activites (i.e. laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc.), Jack and I finished patching some spots, painted the final wall and corner in the living room, some unpainted spots in the dining room (all left after an overzealous project didn’t get finished!), I re-caulked the master bathroom tub/shower, Jack replaced the drain in the master tub. I think that’s it. Wow, it feels like it was a lot more than that short little list! lol

Remember my request last week, about the biopsy on my leg? Well I finally got a call, it’s not cancer (YAY!), but it’s idiopathic (which means “we don’t know!”). They suspect that it’s caused by some medicine that I take, so the next step is process of elimination to figure out which one. I go in this week to get my stitches taken out.

I’m planning on having a garage sale next weekend… if I can get everything ready this week! We’ve been putting things out in the garage as we’ve come across things for the sale, and it’s getting too crowded out there, so now’s the time!

Until next time…

I just have to share this… Jamie Harrington’s blog.

Specifically this post – Why Dobby is the Smartest Parent. (I was totally peeing in my pants, laughing so hard as I imagined any of my nieces doing this exact same thing, and the “nose, nose, NOSE” part! Too funny!)

And this one, well… this one is just PRICELESS!!

I cleaned out my cardstock… yes, can you believe it? And it’s not because I’m going completely digital, let’s just quash that little rumor right there. I am still VERY much a paper scrapbooker… but I’m also a digital scrapbooker. I’m not a hybrid scrapbooker because I definitely don’t mix the two together… they are very separate and distinct entities. Hmmm… does that make me bi-scraptual? lol Yes, I scrap both ways. (Sorry, I just couldn’t resist!)

ANYWAY, back to the cardstock. So I’m looking at this stack of cardstock and I’m just thinking “Wow, THAT is pretty.” So I took a picture. And I’m sharing it here with you. And it’s finding a good home soon, hopefully, because I want to spread the beauty (and make room for new goodies! ha ha!)

So, I’m very happy to announce that I’m a new Digital Assistant at The Scrapbook Pad! They have an awesome digital center, complete with digital kiosk, a couple of computers, and everything a digital scrapper could need to actually take their scrapbook OUT of their computer! Very cool! So I’ll be working there a few nights during the week, and then on Saturday nights, helping people in the digi world.

Status on the medical front… not much really. I go back for a follow up on Monday, so I’ll post more then. Thank you for all of the comments and emails that I’ve gotten. It really means a lot to me. And on Jack’s medical front… he goes back to the plastic surgeon in a couple of weeks. If there’s still no progress on the final spot closing up, then he’ll send Jack for hyperbaric chamber treatments.

Ah, so that’s it for a rainy Saturday. I’m trying to spify up the house this weekend, and of course I’m going cropping tonight.

Well, I wasn’t expecting to post again so soon, but here it is…

On Monday afternoon I noticed a couple of large red splotches on the inside of my leg, just above my ankle. I thought it was odd, so I went to the doctor yesterday. He referred me to a dermatologist (as quickly as I could get in). So today, I saw the dermatologist.

The Derm (for short), thinks it might be Vasculitis, and that it could potentially be cancerous. So he did a biopsy there in the office and I should hear something next week.

I’m a smidge freaked out, but really trying not to be. So if you could keep me in your prayers for the next few days, I would REALLY appreciate it. More than you know! :o)

Thanks!

P.S. Yes, the biopsy hurt… well, not so much the biopsy itself as the lidocaine shot! Ouch!

That’s a good question! I feel like I’ve been so busy, yet I can’t remember why.

We’re working on fixing some things in the house. Trying to get it ready in case someone wants to buy it. If you know someone looking for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with a HUGE backyard and HUGE trees in the front yard, for under $100K, send them my way, ok? :o)

I’ll try and post something cool later this week. I offer my sincerest apologies for disappearing. Although I kind of wonder if anyone notices, so here’s a challenge… if you are reading this blog (yes, I mean you… the person looking at this screen), then post a comment by clicking on the word “Comments” under this post. Tell me your favorite color and your favorite ice cream flavor.

Until then…
