Today is better. Let’s hope I can ride this out a bit.
This morning was still touch and go and I thought I was in for another bad one but it is heading into late afternoon now and I’m still feeling pretty ok although I still have the tingly numbness.

I got up at 7am, normal time lately….and had decided while heading off to sleep last night the best thing would be to get out nice and early and walk around the sea wall.

I did 30 push ups, some stair exercises for my knee and headed out.

I went to Star Bucks and started crying [again] over Tigers win yesterday and did make a wee fool of self but managed to get myself un crazy looking in relatively good time.

I hit the wall it smelled like vacation and I had a fantastic walk around and took some photos, these photos aren’t just of my city they are RIGHT OUT MY FRONT DOOR and if THIS didn’t help me feel better, nothing would and thankfully it did.

THANK YOU so much for your support through this.

[b]Ok so I’ve been busy[/b] and I haven’t been ‘writing’ much but I have lots going on up in the head I just gotta get it down. In the mean time here are a million and six photos from the last few days. Rilah has an actual post up on the ones of us and other cool pregnant chick stuff.

[b]When someone asks you a fucking question[/b] about your shit on e-bay fucking answer it and answer it now or get the fuck off e-bay. If you offer BUY THIS NOW and I can’t buy it now then FUCK OFF. I WANT TO BUY IT NOW!
I haven’t spent my birthday money from my Mom and Dad yet and I buy my Lacoste shirts on e-bay cuz I now have two REAL ones that STILL do not equal what you’d pay in stores FOR ONLY ONE I have a stretch polo LIME green and a classic polo PINK I ONLY wear Lacoste for the GATOR I HATE YOU BRAND BULLSHIT CHARGE ME A MILLION DOLLARS for your OH SO SPECIAL cotton blend some poor fucker worked for 20 cents to sew together. I’m TRYING to get ONE more to basically equal three for ONE and the color is HARD TO GET I won’t even tell you what color it is.

I FINALLY bought Raymi’s book with my birthday money from my grandma but she dated the check for July so I can’t cash it but whatever I spent it.
SPEAKING of my birthday

GIGI Frankenstein’s gift arrived today and it is the hardcover book, “the funny thing is” by ELLEN DEGENERES. And she made me a card. THANK YOU.

I now love gigi more than Ellen. This could happen to you too.

HAHAHAAH NOT

Couples Speak Out: Worst Wedding Gifts Ever

i already whined about this the other day. im turning the comments off, this is to ease my own guilt - trying to rake in any more sympathy. however, if you would still like to comment please do it here, as this is where it all started. in addition, adam can always read them to me.

no more barfing, my belly is still not happy though and a killer migraine has latched on and will not let go.

i intend to return from this bird flu, SARS, killer brain fever - or if this happens to be just the basic flu - still very soon.

miss me or else.

gus looks like the evilest pussy cat ever in that photo. like she is super jealous of the monkeys and wants to kill them. in the end they out numbered her something like 16 to 1, she learned to deal with them quickly but had no qualms about picking on them and trying to eat their limbs, stuffing and thread during assembly. i can’t even talk about what she tried to do to their eyes. if you haven’t checked out the actual sock monkey category i dare you - go check it out. it’s fun in there.

last year we bought all of the monkey materials on October 30th and we started them on October 30th. this year we were all geared up and ready to rock out hard. we know we have got to get two of them over seas and could end up with just as many to make this year as last. on October 1st of this year we purchased all of the monkey materials.

we have not started the monkeys.

i don’t know if we need a HUGE kick in the ass, if we need to stop playing Tiger 06 or if we think we’re so awesome that the new batch will simply make itself just wanting to meet the original Dr. Vegas.

we’ve decided on a new way to make them this year which means Dr. Vegas COULD end up with a brother or sister with there being a new prototype in the works. the monkey ‘butts’ were SUPER ghetto last year and we pinned the tails on. i was completely down with pinning the tails on because the butts were SO ghetto they honestly resembled a real life chimpanzee’s asshole area.

we’ll start them tonight for sure.
FOR SURE
i KNOW we will.
we HAVE to, the monkeys need us - they need homes and their adoptive parents are already anxious and may now fear shoddy craftsmanship. fear not we are professional sock monkey makers and shoddy is not the name of our game.

my original plan was to post this picture as a send off to the golf season. this picture is from the 2004 season. not that we didn�t get ANY shots this year but come on - the look on my face is priceless. i would venture a guess the only reason i missed that putt was because i was not yet in possession of my Odyssey.

but then last night while showering i was exfoliating the sometimes rough crocodile skin i get on my upper arms and i realized that this is the last hours i will be spending with my right upper arm as a bare right upper arm.
tomorrow at 2:30 i go in for the first sitting of my newest tattoo.
this isn�t just any tattoo.

this isn�t tigger when i was 18 and showing mild defiance. i say mild because it was tigger and although my parents had shown appropriate displeasure and disbelief that i was actually going to get a tattoo and never agreed with it, they never really gave me a hard time about it either.

this isn�t the three daisies circling my belly button
it was also done in Terrace, it took 15 minutes and it for serious didn�t hurt AT ALL.

this isn�t even close the most meaningful tattoo i have. the sun on my back. based on a drawing by sarah mclachlan. the face i had put in the middle is smirking because i have been told my facial expressions, at times can be near impossible to figure out. and i hate people who think they know me have me all figured out, and don�t.

if chad uses the entire space he mapped of my arm it will be pretty big. it is a two sitter for sure and two completely separate not small ‘things’. im filled with nervous excitement because i�ve never gotten anything this big and i�ve always wanted an arm tattoo.
a few days before my consultation in september i sent chad an extensive email with pictures of what it�s all about. thankfully he was interested and when we met for the consultation i took him lots of photos. IF by slim slim chance it is not exactly what i want, we�ll deal with that then.
im afraid if i try to explain what it�s going to look like on here i will not be able to do it justice, you�ll all just have to wait till i can either scan my arm or till the weekend when i may have access to a digital.
if i have to ask a stranger on the street to take a photo for you guys i will ok. i�ll do it. i�ll whore out my arm for you.

i will now call this shot: the last known photo of my bare upper right arm.

when i was making my final decision on what arm i was going to go with golf did come into account. the right works better for me in that when i�m teeing off everyone will be staring at it and i�ll be thinking about how everyone is staring at my kick ass tattoo (one part has a pink skull and cross bones as the body of a butterfly with eyes in the wings of the butterfly) and not about my shot.

holy smokes i haven’t posted since wednesday. i am not dead or dying of anything that i know of. i don’t even know where the week went. all these ‘adult’ things came up that i had to do. and then lame things happened, like my cell phone charger died and because i am an all or nothing thinker i took it as a personal attack based on the fact that i needed my goddamn phone last week and normally i avoid my phone because i know it has cooties and i despise talking on phones period.

i am also embarrassed and have been hiding something from you all.

last monday i went bowling with my friend from grade school, glenn whom i hadn’t seen in ages. unfortunately all we were able to play was 5 pin and i am really super duper bad at 5 pin bowling. 10 pin i don’t rock it or anything but i don’t suck, i could be in a league if i wanted. i own King Pin, i’ve studied certain scenes, i know what it takes.
but somehow on this particular bowling excursion i ended up with my left groin pulled, my hamstring pulled and my ass hurt like someone was using it as a voodoo doll. due to this i decided i hated bowling and was never ever going to bowl again and that it was fucking ridiculous that i golf - i can hit 100 yards with my pitching wedge, i do stuff and i take pilates, my muscles are small but i got em, so what he fuck i felt like the biggest loser ever. AND i had to miss pilates because i was TOO SORE to go. i feel better now except that yesterday morning i went to sit down at my computer chair and i put my slipper heal into a butt muscle and charlie horsed myself. it was pretty awesome.
