    I just wrote on my blog that Mr.T is like a permanent frat boy on a never-ending spring break. She is so much more 'reserved/thoughtful/pensive' and is the professor to his frat boy.

    What a pair!

    Edit. New page. New page. New page. New page.

    Speaking of hats.

    Here's my DD. Modeling MissyMc's new birthday tutu:

    Now where on earth would she get her silly/dress-up genes?

    I heard there was a million dollars buried in this exact spot!

    That's what my mom told me........could take HOURS........MANY HOURS to find the money.

    I love that light sparkling on the water....sigh.

    I remember when I was younger I used to love seeing the water do that and wondered why it didn't do that as I grew older. I then realized as I grew I got taller and saw it all from a different height. I now make a point of lowering myself down to see the magic I used to see. It's still there!!

    Barbe, me too...my grandmother lived on a lake and I would see the "diamonds" in the water and would watch it for hours...that place is still magical to me, but our family sold the house...

    I love sparkles and diamonds too. Not too crazy about swimming in the ocean 'cause I like to see the bottom.....I guess it's fear of the unknown below my feet. But the beauty of the ocean just can't be beat!

    Quick Report.

    Just home for a few moments from my long-awaited PCP appointment. I am SOOOO happy!!!

    Turns out I'm not outta-my-gourd.

    This from a reliable M.D.

    Long story short. She is going to refer me to a new BC surgeon here in town. She feels like I do indeed need a 'new' specialist to take the helm. She wants me to have a second-opinion & new long-term relationship with surgeon.

    SHE LISTENED TO ME.

    (I knew she would, but still, like gold that she did.)

    a.) she doesn't think i'm nuts!!

    b.) she doesn't think i'm depressed!!

    c.) she thinks i've done an admiral job of navigating thru these last several months

    d.) she thinks having my "happy pills" to take when things get unreasonable, is a very reasonable way to deal with all of this: Atavan, my prescription of choice

    e.) she thinks the fluid build-up, since my infection resolved, needs evaluation by a new set of eyes; she can see what restriction my body is under & can imagine the pain i must be in & she doesn't think that it's reasonable to ask my body to adapt in the next 12 months (as per the opinion of the original surgeon)

    [And I never even told her the whole chapter of losing Saint in the midst of all of this]

    My evaluation by LE specialist is on Thurs.

    In the meantime we leave for Cleveland momentarily, where tomorrow I will 'perform' for a couple hundred young children at a time, many of whom have special needs.

    --- note to self: do we all have special needs?? is this why i get along with such a crowd?? cuz i have special needs??

    Thanks for letting me interrupt these glorious waves...... now back to the sand.

    p.s. i don't know what you are seeing Seyla? i'm glad that Barbe doesn't get it either..... otherwise i'd be questioning my very flimsy grasp on reality. LAM (laughing @ me)

    Great news Faithie!!! Look out Cleveland!! HERE SHE COMES!!!!

    I thought it looked like snow, but whipped cream sounds much betterTongue out

    Trying to see if there's any pecan pie underneath.....that would make it perfect.

    Ladies,

    Have not been in this forum in a few weeks as am just in the past 2 weeks starting to slowly get my energy back and trying to play catch up in the other forums and my general email.

    I have decided to get back into an oldtime hobby of mine photography for fun and as a hobby. About a week ago I took a few random shots of which I have uploaded to my blog, but will share here too :)

    Enjoy: -

    Here I was out and about on April 14th with lots of energy and so decided to try and get things done.... me feeling good, me looking good -- so everybody keep telling me that day :)

    Doritos Good Time Munchies...

    Pomeranian finds new refuge...

    *This is our pom 'Venus'.... she has this fixation on this nice rock surrounded by a bush outside the seniors apartment building attached to ours.. :)  

    Spring-time brings beautiful blossoms

    Subway Sub 'one cannot get enough of - at least I cannot' -This sub

    'Chicken Teriyaki with Sweet Onion Sauce' Yum! Yum!

    *All of the above photos I took within the past week or so for fun... the Doritos I too at Subway Sub.

    Charmaine :)

    PS Will share more as I take them...
