Okay - so what's up this fantastic view everyone BUT ME can see???

Well I'm sure it's pretty!
I once, many years ago thought I had heartburn or ulcers (was drinking Gaviscon by the bottle - now just looking at it makes me gag!). Stomach probems were getting worse and worse - finally moved to Ottawa and new dr. sent for me a gallbladder ultrasound - well lookee here - big beautiful gallstones! So out it came (this was years ago so none of this tiny bellybutton incision and we suck it out). Major surgery - no real scar to speak of by now, and had to get over the trauma of no longer being anatomically perfect - and I"m just about over it now! (20 years later
). I was so glad to have the surgery cuz the only things I was able to have at the time was boiled chicken, boiled rice, 7-up and scrambled eggs - anything else led to a gallbladder attack - and trust me you only wish for death to relieve that pain!
Kathy - hope ds talks himself into a new job?...and that he gets rid of Mr. Macho! Your salad sounds AMAZING!
Billie - I just checked out your profile pic - you are adorable and a very cool and young looking grandma - and of course I also love the flipflops - now if they only came in pink........
Sandra - I too am very impressed w/Curtis and his plans for a Bridge for Sandra - what a great and loving project!
Vickie - as for wall paint - don't you just hate picking from those tiny little itty bitty paint chip samples? I chose what I thought was this mid-pink color for family room/kitchen combo. Got home and ds says did you know you were picking this pink color - I'm at the front door at this point just coming in - sure I said I know it's pink. No mom - it's REALLY PINK - but I figure he's a boy - any pink would look like too much pink.
Well I just about gagged
when I walked into the room - we are talking PEPTO BISMOL PINK - a large room to boot - I could barely swallow when my phone started ringing and it was the painter - wondering what I thought? He of course was in agreement that it was too pink - it is now a beautiful misty mauve - nice pink/mauve color and looks great. I am SO GLAD you like the room Vickie - nothing worse than having to redo stuff (as you can see I have experience in this - did I mention the dining room fiasco? and the burgundy walls in my living room - very dramatic! but at the time I was freaking out wondering what it would look like!)
Rita - Congrats on your loss - it's in the right direction, and sorry to hear about your son's teensyweensy measly gain - I agree - next time he really should empty his pockets!
And as for wallpaper - I have no experience removing it - but I believe it is the true test of marriage compatibility. I always advise newly engaged couples or those thinking of marriage to wallpaper a room together - and if can do this and are talking to each other at the end (in a civil manner of course) then your union is blessed
- otherwise back to the drawing board.
Melissa - glad you got to the dr and got some bloodwork done - hope you do feel better and it's nothing out of the ordinary!
Now here's the real puzzle: As you must all know by now I am a TRAVELLING FROUF - if I am not planning a trip, I am dreaming of planning one or pretending to plan one - those that know me always come to talk to me re airfares, travel, cruises etc and I have even been known to help save some travel $$ here and there w/my recommendations.
So how come I am SO UNEXCITED about my weekend away? I live for weekends away - I would go away every weekend if I could. The thought of not having to cook or organize or do housework excites me, and I love hotel rooms, with those little bars of soap and shampoo bottles and new tv channels and having someone MAKE UP my room after I have messed it up.
I think this is a really bad sign! Dh and I have travelled a bit for weekend trips and I have always looked forward to it - we do travel well together in the car and have fun on road trips. Somehow I just don't get that feeling this time.
I am almost going cuz I have to - want to get it over with? I think i realize any expectations will be not realized and maybe there's no point in even trying? We'll get there - I'll be excited to unpack and do something - and dh wlll just want to nap cuz he's tired from the drive. I'll say okay but I will be a bit upset - will probably go out on my own. We'll have dinner together of course and he will just talk about himself, his projects, his lack of work, and (hopefully not) how bad my kids are! We'll go to sleep....I'll wake up ready to go to the breakfast buffet - while he continues to sleep - i will bring a book. I will sit out by the pool, while he sleeps some more - maybe we'll do the mini-golf if it doesn't rain.
I don't know it just sounds so boring to me now - what was I thinking? I don't think we can reconnect - I don't know how - or maybe I just don't want to anymore? I am feeling very discouraged.
At least little ds is excited about going to the sitter's and has packed his bag - so cute - with his teddy bear, and night light and his favorite dvd's. I'd probably have more fun going w/him than dh - how sad is that?
