Oh boy.......gone a while

My newest picture, 48 pds lost:)

Sorry about that. I was taking a leadership program thru the day job, praise the Lord that is done. Now, I have been sicker than a dog for the past 2 months. I have a dysfunctional Odii sphinter which is located by that gallbladder. Everytime I eat, 30 minutes afterwards, I am in pain. The medication that they have been trying doesn't work so hopefully I will get surgery soon.

Promise I will keep this updated better and I hope all is great with everyone...

Stuff...

Well, my cardiac cath went fine, hurt like a bear but I have no plugged veins/arterties or anything like that around my heart, good news. Bad news, still trying to figure out what is going on with me but we are working on it:)

Good news, finally got more pics taken & now the Vivamexico and Funky Monkey Girls Etsy sites are both updated, hooray!

Worked on getting my studio cutier and did some jewelery but my wrist hurt too bad to do a lot. Got some plants potted in my front yard, painted furniture, hung up new lamps....that was mainly thanks to mom & dad.

My diva Peaches is very happy to have mommy feeling better and so is mommy:) We need to purchase more clasps...isn't it amazing that you swear you have a bunch of them and boom, you are totally out.

This weekend

Well, I got some stuff.......cool stuff actually:) I got some pretty things for my studio on the quest to make it a great place & funky place to get inspiration:) I bought a sewing machine, I wanted one for a while so now I can really venture out to mix media creations, I am so EXCITED!!!!

I also got plants/flowers & catus for the yard. IT was so windy on Sunday that we only got a few items planted in planters and put out.

Tonight, I am determined to get more creations & pictures & updating Etsy. Mom will have to bring Ms Diva Peaches out. We have started howling together...it is pretty darned funny. She is starting to play play more & it is so cool to see her sweet & GOOFY personality coming out:)

almost done with work. I am so glad my tests are at the end of this week. I just took a nitro earlier. That stuff gives you a kick arse headache but after you take it, my heart feels much better. The Lord is with me, praise Jesus!

health, wealth & inspiration

Picture from MarsCon 2009...I had to throw a George L in here...

Well, I had my cardiac stress test on Monday....not fun. With women, those can come up with a false postive, which means, it did look like I could have a heart attack or somewhat blocked vessels or it is from my weight. Well, I have lost 38 pds but never had the current weight put into my chart until today.

Because of the false postive, I am scheduled for a cardiac cath on 5/28. Please pray that this procedure goes well & figures out what my next step will be. I am on heart medication so that should begin helping as well.

Wealth....will come thru God along with the inspiration. I am being so calm about everything and usually I am worrying my red head about it. The Lord is so working miracles in my life that it is so wonderful!

Creating, we are aiming for tonight & Ms Peaches will be with us so we will know if she has to pee. She doesn't indicate that very well, just really intense stares, which she does for everything! I need to get her one of those dog translators like they had in "Up", great movie, go see it.

I am okay

Thanks AJ for the e-mail, I really appreciated it! I have fallen off the world and recently climbed my way back up LOLOLOL......

I have been totally unproductive with creating/picture taking etc. I have been sick with the world's nasty sinus infection for over 2 wks now. I have done everything possible to get rid of it, at least my teeth no longer hurt much but the swelling in my mouth is finally going down!! Hooray!!!!

Because of the disgusting weather in Tucson, way too much rain/cold days etc, I am HURTING really really bad. Everyone's allergies are bad, bleck.

Day job, horrible stress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vacation in MN was fantasic and hopefully can post some pictures on here soon!

Miss you all and promise I will get over this soon. Please send creative fairy to my house soon!!!!

H1N1 sucks..

Mom's funky bracelet, the fiber beads can be bought from here...http://www.etsy.com/shop/Ebrown2503

My advice, try not to get this crap.....I got the medication in time so I feel loads better but I can't get rid of my stupid fever. If I am fever free for 48 hrs than I can go back to work. I did clean up some of the house when I was feeling better, took tons of pictures to update Etsy stores and right now, I am Sadie sitting while Tom & his dad runs around doing some errands for him and for me. She has finally calmed down a bit and now lies down by me & occasionaly gets up to see where dad is at.

I am looking forward to talking to Tom's dad somemore once I am no longer contagious.

Oh it is Wednesday..

I wish I was there, pic by Jolene, beach by mom.

Well, the weekend was fun, sold a few things but got my name out there. Monday I start getting sick, Tuesday sick, then today I call to see if I can get an appointment. My provider THINKS I have H1N1, so I am on medication for that, off for seven days and will spray all jewelery with stuff that will santize everything.

So, if you don't hear from me for a well, I am in bed either freezing or cold.

It is Friday

I think I have a cold. I haven't had a cold in forever but I don't have a sinus infection so I am thinking I have a cold, bleck. Time to stock up on Nyquil and other things so I feel better, bleck.

Tom is the man! He is going to help me out with this business in doing things that I am kind of uncomfortable doing or mom just can't find the time to do it anymore. I am really excited about that so we will be exploring that avenue when his kids go home on Tuesday.

I am exploring Tombstone tomorrow and it should be fun. Now, I need to remember how to edit photos on my laptop and I will be ready to go. I have a bag filled with jewelery that needs their picture taken! I am also looking for classes in digital photography so I can do that better also:)

Please pray that I feel better! I am use to the fibro pain etc but I hate it when I get sick on top of that crap.....

Kill maim

Dear Lord, I can't get a new photo to upload into our profile......sigh. I hate computers.

Arthritis/Fibro/Asthma

Have been kicking my butt lately. Not sleeping well for the past 2 weeks just makes fibromyglia worse so trying to keep day job and going home & staring at walls.

Will update more when feeling better.......

Etsy shoppes

Okay, Viva Mexico and Funky Monkey Girls are both marked on vacation. I can ship stuff out but I need to get the shoppes updated and this break should assist with that.

Almost done with the linen closet packing. Now, I am going to pack the stuff in the bathroom we don't use on a daily basis and get that out of the way. I am still trying to get sick but fighting it thru prayer and medications. Dayquil, cough drops and next loads of OJ. I can't drink too much OJ cause it bugs my tummy but I prefer it over vitamin C pills.

I am really tired today...went to bed late so my went to bed meds are still hanging on plus I missed my coffee this morning at home. Got up late but took my shower and still got to day job on time:)

back strain

That is what they say I have, I strained my back. Who knows how but I have been dealing with pain, spasms and more pain since Saturday. This is my first day back at work and it is going okay.

The spine is fine which is good, I have to shape up the muscles or something like that. My doctor says swimming is a good thing. Which I will do every night at my new place, here, not good too many screaming out of control children, sigh.

I used to do water exercises all the time in Texas but not here because we only have the one pool. At my Texas apartment building, they had 2, the new house, has 3 pools and what is better, I don't have to clean them or anything :) Praise God.

New jewelery hasn't been made in fact, the beads etc, will be packed up this week or next. We have movers coming but I will have them move all the heavy stuff/boxes and then mom & I can move a bunch of boxes when we can. I am also going to get someone who can clean cause I know I nor mom can. Stupid back!!

tooth infection

That is what I have a tooth infection so here is a script for antibotics and we will see you later to yank out that tooth. blerg. I am at home typing away on my computer too coolest!!

AT work

and still not feeling too hot. Didn't get anything done this weekend cause I was sick. Oh well, the best laid plans of mice & monkeys:)

Sick
