What I’m Up To This Weekend

Doing dishes, Sweeping floors, Keeping up with laundry. Although these everyday things hold no joy right now. Not that mundane household chores are ever a supreme source of joy, but usually I can take some satisfaction in them. Avoiding foods with serotonin in preparation for my carcinoid test on Monday, Giving my kids an extra [...]

So as a diversion from more serious matters at hand…

Let’s talk Christmas! Here are some of our family’s favorite Christmas gifts this year. The Little Guy got the remote control helicopter he asked for and a laser tag set from one of his cousins. The Princess says her favorite gifts are her "princess light" and her "princess umbrella". Both were actually birthday gifts, but [...]

Mystery Disease

I saw my PCP this morning regarding the "episode" last week.  He is a very kind man and was very understanding.  He said that I am having a vasovagal reaction to something, but to what he has no idea, and we may never know.  He said that typically in these situations, he refers to all [...]

It never pays to be virtuous.

So after The Weekend, I decided I need to have a healthy lunch today, so having no salad fixins in the fridge, I stopped at McDonalds to pick something up. I asked the lady which salad has the least fat and calories.  She advised me to get the Caesar. So I brought home my Caesar [...]

One Down, One To Go!

Well, the brunch was lovely.  I had a great time with all my friends, and I could tell they were having a good time too. I got some great pictures, and I was going to put black boxes on their faces and post a couple, but Hubby told me it probably isn’t kosher to plaster [...]
