Lost?

I love the show Lost and I am soooooo excited that tonight I will be basking in the 2 hour season premiere! Yah-hoo! Ladies and gentlemen...tonight I plan to get lost! Thank you and good night!

The answer is Yes!

I have an umbilical hernia! There I have spread the news to the world. I have a hernia!! And I am here to answer any questions you might have! First I have to give props where props are due...

Christy for giving me my first diagnosis when I told her that my belly button hurt.
Scott for always being there when I have medical issues!
Two beautiful children because without them this umbilical hernia would not be possible!
A wonderful husband who loves me even if my intestines are popping out of place!

On to the questions:

Umbilical hernia is when your abdominal wall rips and your intestines start to come through the hole in the wall.

Yes it can be serious.

No I do not qualify for serious status. The Dr. called it a "little" one.

Yes doing crunches and Gunnar's Ab Assault can make it hurt!

Yes it does require surgical repair.

Yes this will be my first surgery.

Yes I can't believe that I have a hernia.

Yes this will delay my ability to train for a half marathon.

Yes I am okay.

I am anticipating having surgery the 2nd week in March.

Alli has already informed my neighbor that my "belly button will be cut off."

So on the advice of my Dr. Brother in law...I have posted the above information! If you care to know any further information you can call me at (---/---/----) (sorry I can't give out my personal information) or you can look up umbilical hernias on Web MD! Or I also have a pamphlet I could send you that tells you all about hernias and the surgeries to fix them!

Bored.

Today started out to be full of events...

Started my routine of having Monday be my cleaning day! I was very productive. I cleaned the downstairs and then I had to get ready for my visiting teachers. So that was being productive, right? Then I did a bit of designing with Jen...then...nothing...I am bored. I have lots that I can do but...I don't want to do any of it. I am just bored! Maybe it is the consistent down pour of rain and dark sky's the have brought on this "blah" of boredom. Or maybe I am just plain bored. So in an effort to "un-bore" myself I am posting...I still am bored!

What color am I????

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Green

You're green, the color of growth and vigor. Good-hearted and giving, you have a knack for finding and bringing out the best in people. Green is the most down-to-earth color in the spectrum — reliable and trustworthy. People know they can count on you to be around in times of need, since your concern for people is genuine and sincere. You take pride in being a good friend. For you, success is measured in terms of personal achievement and growth, not by status or position. Rare as emeralds, greens are wonderful, natural people. It truly is your color!

A look back and a "do I really have to?" look forward!

With this new year already upon us I have been tagged yet again! And so here are 7 things learned in 2007 and 7 goals for the new year 2008.

Things learned in 2007...

1. I learned that just because something drops off your priority list doesn't mean you have more time for the others on the list.

2. I learned that you should only go to the doctor for "a physical" even if your child is covered in red little dots.

3. I learned that I should be happy in whatever state I am currently in. Not that I have applied this learned lesson!

4. I learned that some failures lead to great relationships!

5. I learned that angel babies can also have a little devil inside!

6. I learned about coupon clipping and I have dabbled in the art of saving money. (only to spend it else where!)

7. I learned that I enjoy running only with music blasting!

Goals for 2008:

1. Can I get a little motivation please!

2. Budget so I can fine tune my clipping skills into real rewards like (landscaped yard, bedroom furniture, new house!!)

3. Run a half marathon.

4. Catch up my scrapbooking or at the very least put some pictures of Ty around the house!

5. Organize and stay organized. Mom, Christy I may need your help!

6. Be a better mom, wife, primary teacher, friend etc...(but I don't make any promises...remember #1)

7. Learn to play the flute all over again!


Here is to the new year and as the title of this post says "do I really have to?" And with that I will send out a tag to...alyssa and kennedy!!!!
