Sunday - The perfect day


Sunday just may be my favorite day of the week. I get to spend the day with Danielle, Sammy gets to go to the park without a schedule, all day dinner prep and the cats lazing about in the reading nook ... that kind of stuff.

Today just might be an extra special Sunday. We became Aunties again this morning at 9:53 am (CST). Holly had Ava Isabelle Bitz. She is 7 Lbs 1 oz and 21.5 inches long. Mom & baby are doing well. Congratulations to Emma because now she will able to be a cool big sister and a shout out to Wade ... You rock
Welcome to the world Ava, we have lots of big plans for you.
Tonight is also dinner with some friends and we are going to have a little birthday present opening for our friend Darian. It is the perfect day for some good hearty comfort food so I have a pot of stew simmering on the stove (3 hours) and it will be perfect by the time dinner comes around. What an amazing day to just chill out and make the house smell good.
Dani also made homemade banana pudidng so if I don't mention that I might get in trouble!

Now because I do need to have rant time, why do Doctors tell you "what it could be"? Don't they realize that we all have internet and we will look stuff up? For those who don't know about my liver issues, apparently there is a new tumor on my liver. Tomorrow I have to go in for this all day liver scan which will tell me for sure whether it is FHN (focal nodular hyperplasia - big ass word!) or a precancerous tumor. The hope is that it is the big ass word as an FHN is the second most prevalent liver tumor. It is asymptomatic and has no malignant potential. So although I am trying to remain confident that that is what it is, it makes me a bit crazy with wonder of "what it could be" Fortunately tomorrow will be the day we find out as they will be able to tell me right then & there! Say it with me "FHN FHN FHN"

Enjoy your Sunday & cuddle with the ones you love.

Oh and so I don't get the trophy for bad mom, Happy Birthday Sammy!!

Random Tinkerings


I just got home from dropping Danielle off at work and thought I would mess around with this blog until it looks better. It is way too bland for my liking. Rain is falling, laundry is started, coffee is hot so its time to figure this out for a bit of time.


Just a side rant, don't you hate it how some people can walk through a shit storm and come out smelling like roses? I guess that it's not always meant to be. I know someone who has had that luck for 60 years and this time she walked through and came out on the other side smelling not so clean. Karma is so beautiful

New blog

Here I am on a Friday night two weeks before the Winter Olympics begin and I have decided that the best way to share my experience at the 2010 Winter Olympics is to create a blog.
So here it begins and I hope you enjoy.

On a different note, is anyone else freaked out when their parent wants to friend them on Facebook? I mean, come on ... thats scary!
