Dear Mr. Spammer Commenter,

I know you’re working hard to get you link on as many websites as possible for SEO stuff and page ranking, but you’re going about it all wrong.  There are so many things that if you just did them just a little differently, I’d be more likely to approve your comment. But as it is now, I just delete them all.  Which is a waste of your time and a waste of mine.  So here are a few simple things that you can do that will make me MORE likely (although its certainly no gaurantee) to approve your comment.  If you’re interested that is.

I watched this TV show last night, Hoarding: Buried Alive, on TLC (The Learning Channel).  It disturbed me greatly, but not because of how messy and cluttered the homes were… but how familiar it all was.  Although my house has never been anywhere near as messy or cluttered as most of the people shown, I know the tendency is there.  And that scares me!

When I was pregnant with my sons I had heard about blood cord banking, but I didn’t know how to find out about it.  It was relatively new back in the early 90′s and all I had really heard about it was from various science shows on Discovery channel.  The internet was still new, so I didn’t even have that to really research it either.  If I had known about it I would have wanted to take advantage of this amazing scientific plan for your baby’s future and possibly even your other children’s future.  If I get pregnant again, I’ll for sure be wanting to do this!

At least that’s what I thought.  LOL!  Steve and I were having a cigarette in the garage and talking about Jr. High School memories.  I don’t remember exactly how we got onto THAT conversation.  But then Steve said this truly horrible thing:

Random thoughts keep popping in my head.  Just little things that keep me thinking.  Things that have kept me up at night sometimes, even though they are really nothing important.  I hate those little things that don’t let me go to sleep because they keep rattling through my brain.

This is not an easy post for me to write.  I feel strongly that I need to post this though, so despite the excruciating embarrasment that I’m feeling, I will continue to write about this.  It’s something that affects One in Three women in the US.  I am that one.  Are you?

Not just because it’s not fun, but because I can’t do anything while I’m sick… well sick like this at least.  I’ve been coughing up my lungs for the last week.  It’s been fun, NOT!  I’ve been taking cough meds and trying to get rid of whatever this is, but to no avail.  I’ve been getting a little better daily, but it’s taken a lot out of me for sure.

Those things are nasty looking, aren’t they?  Those are gallstones… not MY gallstones, but someones.  These nasty little things have been acting up on me this week.  I’ve been in pain because I cheated on my diet a teensy weensy HUGE bit.  So I’m in pain and back on my “Jack Sprat Diet”.  I thought I’d share some of the things I’ve been eating to get myself back on track.Breakfasts – Some of the things I’ve been eating for breakfast aren’t very different than my normal breakfasts.  Sourdough bread only has .5 grams of fat per slice!  It’s my favorite type of bread too, so I toast up a couple of slices, use fat free butter spread, and have a banana pus a cup of coffee with fat free non-dairy creamer.  Total Fat – 1 gram Read the rest of this entry »

My Health:

So, After I was diagnosed with gallstones I stopped eating so much fat.  I ended up losing 15 lbs in almost as many days.  Then over the holidays, I didn’t stick to my diet and I gained 5 lbs back.  Well since New years, I’ve stuck to my diet much better and have lost 7 lbs so far.  I”m feeling really good, even cute!  So this whole “eating right” thing is working pretty nicely for me.

So I find myself with an answer that I asked for a while ago. I’ve worried about my weight off and n over the years. As I get older my matabolism has gotten ess active, and with my back my ability to be active physically has waned. So I’ve found myself gaining weight and having less ability to lose it easily.

One of the problems is that I really don’t worry about my weight too much. Ive never been overly self conscious about my weight and have rebelled against the “skinny” image that the media shoves down our throats. Plus I’m just a little lazy….ok a lot lazy too. So finding the motivation to exercise and eat right is really difficult for me to do. And since I have an abslutely fabulous boyfriend who loves me know matter what my size is, well there’s not motivation there either. LOL.

So really the only way to get me motivated to eat better is to make it physically difficult to eat. I thought about getting a Lap Band to decrease my stomache size and it would also make it harder for me to eat various foods too. But it is rather expensive to have that surgery done and kinda frivolous too…. at least in my mind for me it is.

Well the Universe gave me the next best thing….. gallstones. I have to watch the amount of food I eat, or I start to hurt. I can’t eat certain foods, or I start to hurt. So it is forcing me to eat less and healthier or else!

So silver lining of all this icky health stuff is that I will probably end up losing a ton of weight. LOL Be careful what you wish for, because you WILL get it! hehehhehe
