July 02, 2008I wish I knew how to whistle...I wish I knew how to whistle... I don't. I have tried, I have watched people, I don't know why but I just can't make the noise come out of my mouth. I am jealous of anyone who can carry a tune by whistling. Now that I have had my daughter I wish I can whistle like her grandpa. There are so many little things that I wish I could do.

January 29, 2008Hair UpdateSo now I have a weird mix of bald patches and long curly hair. I mostly wear my hair in a low loose ponytail to stop myself from seeing big peices fall out. The good news is the hair is falling out less. Maybe it is stopping? Who knows? There also is little "stuble" re- growth already in the bald skin pathes so they don't stand out as much., since they are kind of "colored- in". They are itchy as heck though! Thank goodness I had a wild, thick head of hair to begin with! November 18, 2007Time to retire my mousepad...It is way overdue. I just cleaned off my desk, and I finally decided to throw away my butyoudontlooksick.com mousepad. It lived a good life and kept me company on my desk for 2 years now. I really loved it. It was the first thing that anyone ever bought from the butyoudontlooksick.com store. (I know because I bought it. ) I liked that when I was at my desk, I had a little butyoudontlooksick.com reminder. I know it sounds silly, but it made me sad. After 2 years of typing, eating at my desk, etc. It was very dirty and has seen better days. Here is the link to the mouse. Do any of you have ButYouDontLookSick.com or "spoonie" gear? Is it in your office, bedroom etc? Comment or send me pics- and I will post them! November 14, 2007Love and SpoonsSo I just noticed that some of my friends on Facebookstarting signing their emails, wallposts, and notes "Love and Spoons," with their signature. I thought it was just 1 or 2 people-- but then as I started noticing it was more. I soon looked at the message boards and people their started signing their posts with that beautiful closing sentament too. What a nice concept. Wishing someone love and some "extra" spoons for the day. Imagine if we all wished each other love and spoons...what a better world it would be!! So now when you are not sure what to say... wish someone you know some "love and spoons"! November 03, 2007Watch Out-- I am getting the egg timer!FYI- I just realized that after reading this new personal blog --- and after not seeing me on the message boards much, writing less article posts or online in general-- you might be putting 2 and 2 together that I have been having a hard time lately. I am doing my best to rest and take meds, and do whatever I need to to not be in pain, not be exhausted all while still taking care of this angel of a baby. It is hard, and at times it can be depresseing. Continue reading "Watch Out-- I am getting the egg timer!" » October 30, 2007So... I guess I am not superwomanSo... I guess I am not superwoman. I am learning that now that I had a baby all my energy and "spoons" go to my baby girl. This is the way it should be and it makes me feel like I am doing right by her. But by the end of the day if the dishes aren't done and if I am still in PJ pants-- I realize that I am doing litle else of anything. My life is hers. I love her. So if I have limited energy it is spent taking care of her, feeding her, cleaning diapers, and playing with her. I wouldn't change it for the world. I just wish I could to more.... okay- maybe alot more. |
