Cancer

I’ve been suffering with a fever for the last 24 hours or so. Very low-grade, I know the fever is just my body naturally fighting off some sort of virus or germ. I know I’ll be better soon, and the only thing that’s frustrating about it is I am stuck at home, unable [...]

I just found some great china for sale, to add to my collection. I always have me eye open for Portmeirion (Botanic Garden) on Craigslist.

My New Canadian Diamond

We got my engagement/anniversary ring today. I’m so excited! I love it. It matches my wedding band and 10-year gold band beautifully. And I’ve discovered it has magic powers. For example, Derek did not get in trouble when he watched Myth Busters at the kitchen table (during dinner). [...]

Blog

I am having a terrible time resolving my feelings about what to blog. How much information about my life is “too much” information for me to share. Is the act blogging a want, or a need for me?
I’m very confused.
Does anyone else feel like that? Confused all the time?? I write [...]

changes

Expect to see a bunch of different templates/designs. I don’t like this current one, but i’m too sleepy to change it now, and too anal to let it sit here without telling y’all that I don’t like it.
If anyone knows any good new-blogger XML template sources let me know.
