Im Thankful

Last night on Channel 4, Kelley Frey and her Husband were on talking about their little baby Bennett. I was really interested in seeing that interview, so I DVRed it. Then when I forgot about it, I was still able to watch it.

Kelley and Husband brought Bennett home a few weeks ago and things are going well. He is eating and breathing on his own and they see some brain cortex, which is fantastic! As of yesterday, Bennett was back in Childrens Hospital for some breathing problems (I think) but other than that, things are going really well. Bennett is doing everything a baby should be doing. Miracles do happen.

My FAVORITE holiday is upon us. Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for my health. I am so so so so lucky I was able to recover and am now moving on with my life. Who knew that all it took to get healthy was to turn my pacemaker off… Um, I did, but then again, I’m not a doctor, so why would they listen to me? It just goes to show how you have to be proactive in your health! Never take what they say at face value and definitely research anything the doctors tell you. No matter how minor it is, they are not God and they are not always right.

I thought I did my research with the pacemaker surgery and never in anything did I see that my heart could get punctured and my baby could loose all blood and oxygen to her and what could happen… But now when someone “Googles” Pacemaker and Pregnancy, they get me! Hopefully I help them!

I really wish today was my last day of work for the week, but I still have tomorrow and Friday. Ewww, maybe next year I will plan better. I didn’t think I would be so lucky to go on 3 vacations this year though. Wow! 3 vacations, I am pretty lucky. I was in Flo-Rida to see my mummum and pappy in February, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon in August and Kill Devil Hills in September. I am ready to go back to Flo-Rida and hopefully I can get there this winter. It is always fun to go see the mummum and pap. They are characters.

Even though Indy Wa Wa does not have a Turkey Trot, I think I am still gonna get up and run it. Traci, Teri, Vickie Lynn Hogan… any takers? Teri will win as she runs 4+ miles now, but I think I can hold my own. The winner will get…. Um, something cool. I cant tell you yet. Hahahaha (probably because I don’t know).  Sign Ups will be here on my bloglet or to my email or to text me. It will be a fun time. C-Bear, you can walk it along with AJA and AJD and Kevin – however, I think AJD needs to run it! Good times.

w00t! there it is!

Turkey Trot Anyone?

So, Saturday, I let my inner “tween” shine through (although I do that every day) and went to see New Moon. I must say, that first Twilight movie was terrible. I had read the book first and then saw the movie. I was not impressed. Twilight was dark and blue and weird actors and just totally different than the books. Well… I was pleasantly surprised on Saturday when New Moon was FANTASTICAL!!!

My sister, our friend Stacey and I all went down to the Pittsburgh Mills Mall and took watched the movie in a really nice movie theater. It was so loud though I kept getting scared. I have to say that Victoria (the red haired Vampiress) really freaks me out. She scares the crap out of me everytime she is on screen. Ahhhhh….

I think they really made the book come to life and it was way more like I pictured it. I kinda really want to go see it again. And let me tell you, that Taylor Lautner (Jacob) is totally sexy. He is only 17 and I know it is terrible to say this, but MY GOD that kid really bulked up!!! He was so HOT!!!

Kirsten Stewart (Bella) really bugs me. In every single movie she is in, she is just so whiney and weird. I wish they would have picked a better Bella. Rob Pattinson (Edward) is always looking like he has to poop. His face is so uncomfortable and he is not at all cute. Other than me picking on the characters, I love it!

I definitely want to go see it again ASAP! But that probably will not be until it comes out on DVD. The last time I was at the movie theater was to see Stuck on You (probably 4 or 5 years ago) until Saturday. It was a big deal for me to go there. One more thing I think is funny. The “Main Characters” such as the Voltrye and the Cullens are in the movie for like 32 seconds each. I think of them more as “Guest Stars” rather than Stars of the movie. Dakota Fanning (Jane) for example was in the movie for like 12 seconds… and the people who play the Cullens (other than Alice) are in the movie for like a minute. I don’t know, but it is funny to me.

You could definitely tell they had more money to do this movie than the first one. I can not wait until June 30, 2010 to see Eclipse. I have penned Teri and Stacey into my planner and anyone else who wants to come is welcome to get penned in as well.

While were sitting there, a preview for the scariest looking movie ever was on. It turned out to be Lovely Bones and I bought the book yesterday. I am going to read it very soon and then make another trip to the theater to see it. Too bad precious is not around. I am DYING to see that movie. The book was horrific and I NEED to see that one. I cant seem to get the Blindside at any bookstores, but I do plan to go see that movie soon as well. OMG I am turning into a movie loving fool!!! Hahaha

Yesterday my dear old mom and I did a 5k in Sunset Acres. We did it in 37 minutes. We had about 15 minutes of walking, so it wasn’t too bad! Next year I think we will have a Turkey Trot. Im going to call it the “Annual Sunset Acres 5k Turkey Trot” and anyone who wants to come is welcome. I think I will have shirts and everything. It’s a great place to run and I think it would be super fun! Maybe it will be $10 to enter and the winner gets half of the pot? (the other half is for shirts… duh) IDK, just a funny thought.

w00t! there it is!

fun

Yesterday was a fun day. I only worked for half of it (and now I will certainly be making up for that with weekend work… but whatever) and then went to the doctor for the second half. I had an appointment at UPMC Presbyterian with Dr. McNamara. He is pretty fantastical. He is my Heart Failure doctor. Well I am officially out of heart failure so that’s a very good thing. He had to make it official as he is the official doctor. Hahaha. Anywho, I had an echocardiogram at 2 and then an appointment with him at 3.

UPMC Presby is a nice hospital but holy crap!!! It is so big. My mom and I were so lost it took 20 minutes to find the place for the echo! Um… that made me arrive right on time. But then my appointment with McNamara didn’t happen until almost 4:30!!! An hour and a half late! I understand doctors run late, but jeezie, he is always running late. Ok, Im over it. While we were waiting I got to know Sarah Palin pretty well. I read a good 50 pages of her new book “Going Rogue” and it isnt as bad as I thought it would be. I can’t wait for the good part.

So once Dr. McNamara came in, I had 3 pages of questions for him!!! 3 PAGES!!! He answered all my questions and most of the answers were “You are not really that high of a risk”, “we will watch you” and “I don’t foresee a problem” so that was all great!!! The plan is to go in the 1st trimester of pregnancy, the end of the second and after baby is born (assuming I feel good). He also gave me 2 numbers for me to call and one for my Doctors to call if they need him. We are all set now! YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!

Tomorrow is a big day, Teri, our friend Stacey and I are going to see New Moon! Teri asked if I wanted to go at midnight last night, but that would not have worked for me. I am too old to stay up that late now. Tomorrow we will go to the Pittsburgh Mills, have a leisurely lunch and head to the theater for a matinee. Im pretty pumped! I hope it is better than Twilight (which I thought totally sucked but I loved the book).

Tonight is Light Up Night in both Indiana and Kittanning. My Bank has Santa Clause and I really wish I had a child to bring. I am kind of sad about that. I would like my child to sit on Santas knee and get a little toy from him. I SHOULD have a little girl who is 16 months. She would wear a red dress and white leggings. Oh she would have been cute. I miss Kendall. She would get a teddy bear from Santa and we would take a nice photo. BTW, if you come to Light Up Night in KTown, you get a free photo with Santa tonight. You should come.

w00t! there it is!

Oh My Life

So, I was Ironing yesterday for about 2 hours and I had the following conversation with my husband:

T: I like the name Harrison for a boy when we have another child
K: Oh Yeah, thats a nice name.

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

T: Ok, well maybe not Harrison. I like it but someone would shorten it to Harry. I dont like Harry. Then what if we named him his middle name Richard and everyone shortened it to Dick. Then his hame would be Harry Dick
K: (laughing quite hard) Your messed up!!!

This is how my life goes… I laugh a lot.

 

Another conversation we had was about rap. Do you all know how much I LOVE rap music? I LOVE it. I just told Kevin the other day I need to start writing my own rhymes. Well, I was running on the treadmill and Kevin was watching Youtube battle raps. He told me I needed to watch it when I got done running. I sat down and watched this battle.

T: WOW that is really good.
K: Yeah, I thought you would like it
T: I am never going to be a rapper, I would not win in a battle like that, ive got to get writing my rhymes
K: Thats why I showed you this

good times. atleast I amuse my husband
