They GOT ME!!!!


Today---unlike any other ordinary day---I had an MRI---they got me to cram this 6 ft. One hundred and bladdy bladdy pound body into this really tiny tube---okay maybe not tiny, but it reminded me of the days of making tunnels in the snow---I am soooo passed all of that----I was doing great---hummin' right along I would say---until they said okay, here we go---it started to make these really loud funky noises---I had head phones on too---and I was listening to my favorite radio station---who could hear it over all of that NOISE?----I heard it stop and was like WHEWWWW---only to hear the nurse say---are you okay??? we can't get a good non-blurry picture of you---apparently I was breathing like I just ran the 20K marathon that I am NEVER going to do BTW----wellll---I am thinking--you got me pinned down---laying on top of my shoulder that is sore---you have my arm and my hand tucked under my butt and I am supposed to lay still for 15 minutes---which I say it was more like 2 hours---but who's really keeping track of that---I am in so much pain at this point I may have to pea in my pants and you are asking me if I am alright---NOPE--the answer would be No----then I get my pictures on this wonderful CD to take home with me and show the grand kids some day of my heroing MRI experience and I notice, they don't even have my good side---and what the heck---how can I make Christmas cards outta these? Cruel WORLD I'm thinkin'!

It's Official---I listed on Etsy


With much prompting from my friends Brenda and Carla, I have now listed on Etsy---I will for now only be featuring my Homemade Soap as I can only keep track of a limited amount of THINGS---while chewing gum and walking at the same time---I do believe it is a right side left side brain thing when people can keep track of LOTS-O-STUFF and I really am not sure I have either of those sides---so that's the darn deal there----I only did 9 Flavors (wrong word---SCENTS) and honestly it was a chore picking out which they would be---as I am in the interem with swinging into my Spring Line of soaps---Oh Mylanta---I can hardly wait to get some Lilac and Apricot Freesia and Sweet Grass and Fresh Cut Grass and and and---it will be MARVELOUS darlings---just MARVELOUS!!! And who doesn't use SOAP???? Kinda excited about the whole thing----I hope you will be too!
