So I'm doing better. Still having a few complications from the surgery, but I'm doing much better. Not sick or as weak as I was. I was even able to run a mile on Friday so that's good.
Anyway I'm getting a little bored with always blogging about depressing things and how much stuff sucks. So I'm going to try and be more positive from day to day. I'm already looking forward to Christmas because I'm going to go see my parents for the holidays. Also I'm going to take Betsy to see Santa for the fir…

I really hate it when people say "like a red-headed stepchild". I hate it because it's offensive! I mean come on, because a child is a step child and has red hair they're worthless? Why does this bother me so much? Well because I grew up as a red headed step child. Whenever someone uses that phrase it reminds me of all the happy times I had as a child being locked in the closet by my stepmother or other abuse she inflicted on me which I won't go into.
My favorite memory was when I was 5 years o…

Well I finally did it. I broke my MacBook. It was only a matter of time. I've had it for 2 years and since I break EVERYTHING I touch, that poor computer's time was up. I was sitting on the floor with it and got up too quick. I tripped over my own feet and put my knee right through the keyboard. You can actually see where my knee landed and it keeps trying to eject a disc. I think the keyboard might be bent and it's pressing on the disc drive. I hope that's all it is.
Right now I'm stuck using…

Almost every day I'd get at least one friend request from a guy. Now that I've changed my picture to the Apple Logo I haven't had a single friend request. Damn, was I really that good looking? lol I'm not offended or anything, I just find it funny and a little pathetic. I mean seriously, I'm married and I'm NOT looking. To the guys (and girls) that are on my friends list and that I talk to regularly, you all are pretty cool.

So I went to my doctor on Tuesday and told her that my migraines are killing me and I can't take it anymore. We talked about possible causes and she asked me, "What makes you think they are migraines?"
Ok I felt kind of stupid because she told me there wasn't any way they could be migraines when they're happening nonstop for two whole months. She pointed out to me that with my puffy itchy eyes, and my obvious congestion that it has to be allergies and the Allegra/Sudafed combination wasn't gett…

So it's been two months since I've first started getting migraines. So far I've been to the doctor about it twice and there has been no improvement. First my doctor prescribed me Allegra and Sudafed in case my migraines were being caused by allergies. I haven't noticed any changes other than less pressure in my sinuses.
Then I thought that maybe it was time to get my eyes checked. Well that turned out not to be the source, as in the last few years my prescription has changed very little.
And n…

Last night my 2 year old daughter woke up screaming and crying. I checked her temperature and her diaper and neither one seemed to be the problem. I got her to lay down again and while she stopped crying she was still breathing heavy and whimpering softly. I rubbed her back for a good 20 minutes until she finally fell asleep again.
Anyway this doesn't happen very often, but when it does it's usually a lot harder to calm her down. I guess I'm just curious to find the root of this problem. I don'…

For the last few weeks I've had the worst migraines. I can't figure out whats causing them. They will go away for a day or two and then come right back. I can't get into see my doctor until the 23rd so until then I have to deal with them. I haven't and won't be on much until it gets better. For some reason the background on geeks really makes my head hurt worse. So please don't take it personally if I don't reply to a message or comment. You all have been so cool to me since I've joined.

I finally have the internet again. Yay! We now have Comcast. They were running a special on the high speed internet, so I was able to get 12 Mbps for $30 a month. It's a great deal I thought, but I'm not really noticing the speed. Before we moved I was using a connection that was 3 Mbps, so I thought I would be wowed with this, but sadly no. It's incredibly slow for what it boasts.
At this moment the only thing connected to the internet is my iMac G5, and it's taking forever to load stuff. My h…

My cat annoys the crap out of me. We're moving out of our condo in a few weeks and she destroyed the blinds in the kitchen today. We've been here for months and she couldn't wait that long. Geez, now I have to replace them. I swear I'm going to rename that cat "Moron".

Something I've been doing for awhile now is making sure I have my digital camera with me everywhere I go. It's really paid off for certain things, and one thing I have been taking pictures of lately is stupid cars. It's a huge laugh to me when I see a car with so many wings it can practically take flight.
I'm considering posting them here for anyone else who could use a laugh or two. I'd like to use some type of photo hosting site for them though. I use photobucket for odds and ends, but it doe…

I just joined Geeks yesterday and already I'm liking it more than myspace and facebook. I hope to be able to write more on here, but for now this is a good start.
