Friday Fill-in

1. No, we will NOT be sending presents to everyone this year. We are poor. Welcome to the club.
2. My family used to put puzzles together at the old kitchen table.
3. I watched the steam rising from the hot cup of coffee (or tea) and thought: "Why is there coffee in my hot chocolate!!?"
4. This baby is going to be okay.
5. I'll take all kinds of meds and IV's for this little guy, just to be safe and healthy.
6. People need to be nice on the computer/blog/FB world. Just because you can hide behind your computer screen, doesn't make you a nice person. You answer to your own conscience at night. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. It's a good rule, at least from my point of view.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching some of the shows I recorded this week, tomorrow my plans include picking up my Mom from the airport and having birthday dinner with my familia! and Sunday, I want to just relax with my family!

I had my blood drawn Tuesday, almost a week after the IVIG, and have 79K platelets! This is a good thing. They want to keep them above 30K. I go in next week for another blood draw to see where they are then.

I'm having issues with not getting all my emails to my blackberry...does anyone know how to fix that??

I got Chris' his Christmas present last weekend and he already guessed it. Next year, no presents OR I'm just not buying them until Christmas eve. Every year we have been married, he has guessed his Christmas presents. Even a stinking harmonica, last year!!! I've tried the big box with rocks, weights and other things, with a small present. He still guesses.

Bee is cutting his molars and is ONERY!!! I might sell him for cheap. I feel bad for the little guy. It's gotta hurt. But his mom just can't take the whining!! Hopefully this week goes by fast.

Wednesday was my birthday. It was a good one. I went to our friend's house for Little Casaer's pizza and ice cream cake at dinner time. Chris got me a beautiful jewerly box. I'll try to put up pictures. Christi and George got me scrapbooking stuff and so many other things...I was spoiled. Marianne and Missy sent me a stocking with cookies and chocolate in it...so fun! And it's not over yet. Chris, Bee, my Mom and I are going out to dinner in El Paso, Saturday.
Any ideas for good food?? I don't do seafood.

fill in for fun!

I borrowed this from a friend. It's suppose to be a Friday thing BUT not today!


1. Plans and schedules are not written by a 2.5 year old! They seem to have their own ideas of what to do and when to do it. Also not written by doctors! It took me almost 2 hours to get my blood drawn today...thank goodness Bee was home with Daddy!!

2. I'm happy when I have a Squirt to drink and Chopped to watch! Have you guys seen that show? Four cooks, a basket of weird stuff they have to cook with and a time limit! LOVE IT!!!!

3. The last thing I drank was apple juice. We had eggs and bacon for lunch today.

4. One of the most valuable things in my life is my familia! I love being a part of two great families. One side I'm one of two sisters. We are pretty close and text daily. Same with my mom, we talk every couple days whether we need to or not. Then on the inlaw side, I have 13 brothers and sisters and it's crazy keeping up with them. I love the world of facebook and blogging just so I can read what they are doing.

5. I like pepperoni and pineapple on my pizza. YUM!

6. Dear November, where the crap did you go? I don't have much shopping done or quilting and now I'm stressed. You were my buffer. How dare you go so fast!?!


Number 7 asked about what I'm going to do for the weekend...and it's Monday so we'll save that for later.

Tomorrow I have a blood doctor appt. My platelets are 24K today...not good. I guess I can't sharpen the knives tonight!

AND Wednesday we have a specialist doctor appt where we get to see Baby with 3D ultrasound again! hopefully I'll be able to put the pictures up. They are kinda freaky but still pretty cool. Did you guys get the 3D ultrasounds??
