Ok Ok Ok!

Alright, so my mom told me (about two weeks ago) that people who might read this blog would assume I died or something since my last post was getting ready to go into surgery 5 months ago.

So here is a post to let you, my faithful readers (all three of you) that I am far from dead and so full of energy it would scare you!

I really dont have much to blog about. I am preparing to move back to Oregon. Not quite sure when, but as soon as I know I will have something noteworthy to blog about!

I think that is it for this edition...since I am technically supposed to be working on data entry at the moment...... :)

The time is here

Heart surgery on Tuesday. As much as I'd like to put it off forever due to fear, the time is here, and I am oddly kind of ready for it. I am tired and have no energy, and the stress of "not knowing" is INSANE!!!

I am putting a picture so you can see what the anatomy of the heart and the valve that needs to be replaced. In the picture you will notice there are three little "flaps" which is known as being "tri-cuspid". I was born with a "Bi-cuspid" or two flaps. Hence, my heart is wearing out the valve faster then normal.

So, I will go in Monday, 5/3 for an arterial catheterization procedure, and will stay there for surgery Tuesday Morning. I will update the blog when I am home.

Say a prayer and wish me good karma, luck, zen....whatever you wish!!

another great Restaurant name!

Ok...so mom and I passed this place and we just had to stop and take a picture....too bad its not next door to the "Cum Inn" which is in spokane (see one of my earlier blogs from my trip to washington!)

Visit from Sister!!

Well, it's about time I updated my blog!! My sister Sara and my handsome little nephew PJ came to visit this week. We had lots of fun and ran poor little PJ ragged!! We visited the Alamo, Riverwalk, Mercado, a cafe called Lulu's (which was featured on Man vs. Food) and we shopped all over the Texas Hill Country. The first two days were rainy, but it cleared up a little bit during thier trip. PJ got his first ever haircut, which was an adventure for me. It's been a while since I cut hair on a moving target!!


Here are two sexy sisters!
At the Alamo in the drizzle.

Sara eating a 3 pound cinnamon roll at Lulu's...doesnt she look vicious?? =)

PJ getting his very first haircut EVER! I know it LOOKS like he was sitting still, but I can assure you, he was a moving target!! I think you can get an idea if you look at the water spots all over Sara.

And finally, after dropping Sara and PJ off at the airport, mom and I did some shopping and I couldn't help it...I had to get a picture of this place. Too bad it's not right next door to the "Cum Inn" !!!
