Pandora's Casket

Thursday had quiet the scare. I had a pain in my chest that no matter how I moved or no matter what I did it did not want to go away. It finally went into my arm and the sensation was so horrific I knew it was time to go tot the ER like the kids were saying.

Once at the ER they proceeded to do EKG, blood tests and all the things that go along with it. Telling me finally tht they were 97% sure it was not a heart attack but wanted to put me in the hospital for observation. Taking the 'better safe than sorry' avenue it was an ambulance drive to Ball hospital. Which I didn't mind it due to being on morphine and nearly out of it any way.

I remained in the cardiac ICU until Friday late afternoon. My heart is fine which after doing the stress test I thought I was going to die. Evil test that is for sure. But was glad to hear that all was well. As for the pains they have no idea what are even where they are coming from and I have to go back in two weeks for more tests until they locate it. Not like having plasma mounts and just seeing it right away.

Now I am on a low cholesterol diet and taking meds for that. I can live with that part that is for sure.

Since the economy has slowed so much many online auction sellers could not keep up with the ever rising fees and TOS of the bay. A lot of really good sellers that I know left because when you compare the sales to all the fees that are being paid it is at times not worth it to stay and try to make money.

People are holding a little tighter to their money and remaining this way so sellers have to really think about paying those fees. Looking for other avenues to sell can be a hassle so I do believe that is why many stay on in hopes it will get better. Many will be on the look out for those free online auctions in order to help cut costs. It can be a hard decision to leave or even to stay.

Since last weekend was such a rush around Shay decided that this would be the weekend to celebrate Jeremy's b-day.

Everyone but Uncle Trevor was here to see the birthday boy to blow out his first candle. Did he do that? No, little Einstein sat in the middle of the table smiling at all around him and then shrinking away from the cake. Guess he thought it was a monster or something. Who knows. haha We all stood there for lord knows how long waiting for him to do something to the cake. It would have taken an industrial equipment operator to move him towards the cake to even touch it.

Next year will be the year he will surely have a lot of fun. But it was a fun time for us adults watching him

After a long time of waiting finally Sab's and Jamie are having a baby! Yes, that is right a baby! I am so thrilled about this. Since they have been married for nearly 9 years it is about time that they decided to have one. I know his parents felt the same way. Although I am glad that they waited until they were both mature and ready instead of rushing out the gate having one. They did the right thing that is for sure.

Now I have been looking at quilts to make. I am down to two different designs. Really hard to choose to tell you the truth. I have spent the past two days seriously looking at them and it would be easier to choose a lamb motor than this! I want to purchase one by the end of the weekend because it will take me all of the 9 months and then some to make it!

Einstein, my pet name for Jeremy because of his hair, will have a playmate!!! Well, it will be awhile for that but that will be so cute to watch them grow up and play together.

Well we went out for the second morning showing of the meteor show. WOW! There was one that was huge that streaked across the sky and was a vibrant yellow. Absolutely beautiful to say the least. I have not ever seen anything like that before and so very glad that I was there to finally witness something other than the smaller ones that were numerous shooting here and there.

Tonight BB and Jamie came out to watch the show along with Colton and Nicky. Trevor came out for a bit calling us crackheads then going off to bed to listen to his ipods music more than likely.

They say that the best showing will be between 4AM and dawn so if I am still up and about working I might just throw on my jacket (yes, it is chilly out) and see if I can catch more of the show.

OK, so the big meteor shower is supposed to be taking place. Since our sky is wide open and not a lot city lights (OK we have two city lights here in town) the sky is pretty clear for a good viewing.

We decide that we will partake in the glory. Shay, Colt, Nicky and I go outside to sit. What did we see?

Well, a UFO that turned out to be a plane. Twinkling stars and nothing. Children being children get bored. Shay and Nicky begin to play 'Who can spit on Who'. Such a nice family style game. Running up and down our street spitting on one another. Fun times in this cow patty town.

Of course not to be left out BB comes out. Rather lets her dog out which Ruby Doo starts peeing all over where I was sitting after she came charging at us. Then proceeds to go poop. BB is standing there saying 'It's OK it happens!'. Really gross. Every few seconds BB would pop off with Oh saw one. Which she did not.

Nicky ended up throwing one of those charming 9 year old fits like they do and sat across the street by the corn field. I told him the kids from the field were going to come out and get him. hahahaha Of course that made him madder than he already was and he went in the house. Colt was laying in the street with Sh*t Brick on his lap. Yep, really a bunch of crackheads here. haha

FINALLY! Set off those fire alarms I saw one! Woohoo, just one but that is OK. After another what seemed like an eternity there was another. We decided that was it for the night.

We are going out again around midnight because they say Wednesday is the best day. We shall see!

Have you ever been looking for a night light for a bathroom or your childs room but seem to be running into the same old mundane styles? They make a lot of styles and such but they all in a way just look the same.

If you are looking for a night light that has character all its own then this is the one for you! It is unique in the style and that when you turn it on it will illuminate on the wall a phrase or symbol. Like the one that I have says 'Dream' in a blue color. They are rather large in size so you might take that into consideration when purchasing. The one that I have was placed in the bathroom and works well.

These are perfect for any room actually and are reasonably priced. While I was venturing over on this site I took a look at the sock monkey that I actually wanted to purchase for Jeremy. They ares so cute. Makes a perfect gift for the perfect grandson!

"Why don't you call?" Ah, one of my favorite lines to hear from my (coughing) friends. I receive email upon emails with that phrase, or left on my answering machine. Most of the time I laugh when I hear this as if you are a close friend of mine you know that phrase will not guilt me into calling or even emailing you any sooner than I do at the present. I simply laugh and forget about it. Adding it to my list of maybe I will do.

Another line that makes me laugh is 'Is your cellular phones not working?' Ha, of course they are working. I just do not want to use them to call you is all.

Now, there are a lot of reasons for my lack of calling people. Number one I really do not like to sit gabbing hours and hours away listening to what is wrong with your world and those in it. Usually I will sit in front of the computer and work putting in my gratuitous " A ha's and yea that is right's in the right places not really listening to a word you are saying. Sorry but sometimes I just do not care any more than you really do about how the dog just chewed the back of my couch the other day and how I am going to skin them all alive. Seriously, do you care? A HA! Thought so you don't!

So lets just keep it the way it is. I email you every week, two weeks or whatever and you answer and we go back and forth. Oh I know you will break down and ask again why I do not call.

When you are in doubt as to why I am not calling you, think of this answer: I do not want to waste my unlimited long distance minutes
