Ok, so  now it's time to spam my f-list.  I wish all of you a great 2009!  The adults are now in charge of our government again, which makes me very happy.   I know there are some folks on my friends list that are going through rough times, but I sincerely believe that the people who are in charge really care about us.  We are truly coming out of ( Read more... )

I am a blubbering mess of blubbering tears.  How extraordinary. 

My heart is still pounding through my chest... this city is going crazy.  People are swarming the streets, cars are honking, fireworks are going off. It's has been 25 years since Philadelphia has won a championship, and I'm soooo happy!!!  Wow.

Well, I finally took the plunge!  No, I didn't get married (although that would have been a preferable alternative).  I had a hysterectomy.  I'm now home from the hospital, and doing very well.  Especially since I estimate I dropped 20 pounds of useless fibroids.  I've slowly been gaining weight in my stomach area and figured it was just overeating ( Read more... )

I've been reading everyone's holiday experiences, good and bad, and just wanted to share as well and wish everyone a great Christmas season and--really important--a great fantastic New Year!  As for me, I got... nothing. Nada.  Zilch.  But I must elaborate.  Our family decided long ago that only the kids (and I have just two nieces) would get gifts ( Read more... )

I decided I needed some time off and am vacationing in Monterey, CA.  I've been chilling and relaxing and.... well, the martinis have been entirely depleted in the Monterey Peninsula.  So I'm sitting watching Buffy Season 7 (finally near the end! I can't believe this show passed me by!).  And I feel this unnatural shaking.  It's not Spike.  I call ( Read more... )

Totally random fact that just blew my mind--pardon me while I spam my flist....while slumming through IMDB, I discovered that Scrubs crotchety doctor Kelso is, in real life, married to the woman who played Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy's daughter (and is also Kate's niece) in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

Did not see that coming!

One of the things I wonder about is why the general public is so interested in the public meltdown of young celebrity women (Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, etc.).  I KNOW there are male celebrities doing the same thing--so why the fixation on the women??  I couldn't care less about Paris, etc., but I think the public fascination of these women ( Read more... )

I'm home right now recovering from surgery that proved...less than successful.  I went in yesterday expecting an out patient laparoscopy to remove two pedunculated fibroids and woke up to find that I have four regular (large) fibroids, none of which are removable via laparoscopy.  That means either a hysterectomy or a lifetime of pain.  Needless to ( Read more... )

It's been four years since the war to "liberate" Iraq began.  I won't go into it, since so many more have spoken about this travesty much more eloquently than me.  I'll just post this:  http://welcome-to-pottersville.blogspot.com/2007/03/teenage- ( Read more... )
