I'm either high as a kite or in pain. There is no in between. I forgot how much I dislike pain meds. They just knock me out. That's not any kind of quality of life.
Anyway. We were watching tv and Zoe saw a commercial for eHarmony aka ebalogny. She said, "Mom. You need that. I think you need a boyfriend again." I tried eHarmony a few years ago, but the only matches I had were in like North Dakota or Idaho. Sorry. Um. No.
I think I need a chiropractor more than I need a boyfriend. Or maybe a boyfriend who is a chiropractor.
Z's been so sweet lately. She's such a caring little girl and always is kissing my boo boos (huge bruise on my hand from a lab test). We've been snuggling a lot lately and watching fun tv shows together. I think the rest is doing me good. I took her to Taco Cabana for breakfast and just could not stop staring at her. She really is so pretty. I came home and had a "balanced" breakfast. I'm really making an effort at trying to eat healthier since I can't seem to get a workout going. At least not one that will kick my ass, you know? Lots of stretching is all so far.
My awesome dad scheduled a massage for me tomorrow though. My infrastructure is needing a little work - manicure, pedicure, the works. I've just been sleeping so much that I've neglected it lately.
I'm headed to Houston next week for an exam. Then again on the 6th of Feb for my 2 year checkup. Two years. That is so remarkable to me. I can't believe I'm still here.
I can do this. And I don't need no stinkin' eBalogny.
Your assignment today is to tell me the weather report where you are. It's cold here, in the 30's, and I love it. I love this weather and wish we had more of it. I love winter clothes.
Posted by debutaunt at January 17, 2008 11:25 AMHey Deb...
We have snow...and it's kinda cold, high of 46.
Good for you on the balanced breakfast...garbage in, garbage out.
Posted by: Lorraine at January 17, 2008 01:05 PMTwo years! How awesome is that?
Hope the massage helps you feel better. Good thing for that good-looking bird talker, huh?
The snow is a-comin' down here in southeastern PA. Will it be enough to cancel church choir rehearsal tonight? We can only hope. :)
Posted by: Sharkey at January 17, 2008 01:21 PMUh, up here in the good ol' Pacific Northwest, we've got cold, with occasional snow flurries and ice baby! I think the high today might get to 30? Oh, check that, I just saw the forecast and it's 35 right now with a projected high of 37!
Posted by: traci at January 17, 2008 02:46 PMThis Saturday, the high will be 5 degrees not including the wind chill. The 30's sound pretty good to me.
Posted by: Carol at January 17, 2008 06:22 PMCold cold cold here in MS - but I am a NY girl so I guess I can take it right? I stumbled onto your site by mistake, but I want to wish you the best of everything. Enjoy your spa day! ;-) Milia

28-32 degrees, Snow right in the middle of the day, I haven't watched the news but probably 3-4 inches of snow before it turned to rain around 5:00pm.
I took some snow photos, before I knew there was an assignment :P

HA--the online dating services-gotta love that Zoe.
it is about 18 here--and I hate the cold, hate winter, but the sun is out, so that makes it all good.
you inspire me daily.
Posted by: claire at January 18, 2008 10:54 AMHere in the Shreveport, LA area we have snow, sleet and rain. Highly unusual for us. The temp is 35.
Posted by: Sandy at January 18, 2008 05:40 PMCold and getting colder! The forecast for the Packers playoff game Sunday is a high of 5 and a low of -8! Our fun annual tradition of a week or two of subzero temps that freeze your bogies is upon us!
Posted by: Rebecca at January 18, 2008 09:41 PMFor as much as you like the cold, I'd think that someone from N.D. or Idaho would suit you.
Weather - sunny, blue skies, slight wind - 46 degrees - real feel temperature - 32.
I do not like the cold.
Posted by: sis #2 at January 19, 2008 07:06 PMWhen we were returning home this morning (12am), we watched the temp dropping as we drove across a short section of 'flats' between one mountain and the next. We noticed when it was 4*F then counted down as it dropped to 1*F. We joked about a heat wave as it climbed back to 7*F in our driveway. With the windchill it was probably down to -3 or so since the breeze was just barely wafting around. Brrrrrr!!
Take care of your back - gently! My bro had a herniation in his back at the same place you do and resolved it without surgery, too. It can be done!! ;) My DH wasn't able to avoid surgery so he's the proud (and almost pain-free) owner of about $60K worth of titanium that has been worth it for him after several unenviable events and a failed laminectomy surgery where the neurosurgeon's hope was to open the sheath around the spinal cord and give him some space for the inflammation and expansion. It sucks when something so invasive doesn't work so we are all glad the second surgery with a new doc did!
A massage sounds positively wonderful to me. Enjoy the pampering!
Posted by: Bren/Cody'sMom at January 19, 2008 07:49 PMSunny Florida is cold and rainy this week. With temps in the 30s and 40s, I think I may need to vaca to Nebraska to warm up!! How did I ever live up North and survive? I am wimpy. But the sweaters and boots are a nice change of pace.
Your blog has been blocked at work by the "company" firewall. And at home by the family firewall...the baby princess keeps me away!! I have missed you, too!!
2 years. Blesssings! I am so happy for you. True Joy. Deep in my bones.
Posted by: Kadin's Momma at January 19, 2008 09:30 PMYesterday here we had a heavy snowfall warning and it was windy. I'm in northern Canada.
Congrats on 2 years!
Posted by: Hope at January 19, 2008 09:57 PMIn that case you should come to Alaska! We wear winter clothes a lot of the time!
Posted by: Rachel in Alaska at January 19, 2008 11:19 PMeHarmony? Are you serious? Does anybody ever really find matches like that anymore. I bet that Dr. Warren doesn't even really exist, that he's just some actor.
Don't buy the hype. People just don't find their dreamboats through internet match sites.
Or do they? ;)
