Howdy!

Conversations that happened between my husband and me today:

Me: Ow! fuck it stung me!
Husband: What did?
Me: pointing at the huge wasp on the ground, "That wasp!"
Husband: steps on it.  "there"
Me: Inside the kitchen running the palm of my hand under cold water, "ow ow ow.. stupid bitchface whore."
Husband: mixing up baking soda and water into a paste, "who's a bitchface whore?"
Me: The wasp that stingded me! (Yeah I said stingded :-p)
Husband: Oh! okay. *puts baking soda goop on my palm*  was the stinger still in there?
Me: No, it was a wasp they bite, plus I felt it with my lips there was nothing stuck in it.
Husband:  With your lips?
Me: Yeah your lips are extra sensitive, I would've felt anything sticking in the skin.
Him: oh... well the baking soda will draw out the venom
Me: Wait, most venom and poisons are alkali, we need vinegar.
Him: Vinegar?  With your hand full of baking soda? ... That'll be fun. *Tom takes a bottle of cider vinegar out of the cupboard behind him*
Me: holding my hand out over the sink, "okay pour it" *vinegar erupts the baking soda predictably then everything washes away"
Him: Good?
Me: Yeah it doesn't hurt to much anymore either, do you know where the benadryl is? *I take two pills*

Later in the car on the way to get groceries

Me: Jeez,  for Christmas I got diabetes, for my birthday I got my period and today I get stung by a wasp.  God must really hate me.
Him:  Why would god hate you?
Me: Probably because I don't believe in him.
Him: oh.... wait... What?

Well the baking soda vinegar and benadryl did the trick.  My hand is sore but there isn't any swelling or itching so far. And I'm not alergic to stings so it should be fine.

And here's a list of my birthday loot!

From my brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Rhonda I got a gift set from bath and body works, Cherry Blossom scented shower gel, body scrub, body butter, body spray and perfume.

From Tom.  An antique chinese ginger jar and a Japanese ceramic plate with a ukiyo-e scene of geishas and maikos painted on it.

From my mother and father inlaw, A gift set of pina coloda scented bath goodies with a nylon scrubbie. a large coffee table picture book with more ukiyo-e prints and photos of geisha and maiko.  A gift certifigate to get a shampoo cut and style at my favorite hair salon.

From neices and nephew, 7 pairs of pretty earrings and an assortment of nailpolish

From my dad and other inlaws I got various gift cards, including wal-mart and subway.. classy!

From god, PMS, cramps, bleeding, and a lovely wasp sting.  Because I don't believe in him.

I also got dinner at my favorite, non-olive garden, Italian resturaunt, and cake and fireworks at my inlaw's house after.

All in all it was a good weekend, except for stupid bitchface and that imaginary guy.

Love and kisses!
Ericka.

My hopes are shattered again.  I found out that my thyroid is low so I have to start taking synthetic thyroid hormones.  So the doc says he wants me to see what the thyroid stuff does because it will help me loose weight and improve my diabetes numbers.  Unfortunately he's not going to give me a recommendation for WLS until "we've tried everything else first" because "gastric bypass surgery has a 5% mortality rate" and supposedly my "situation is not that desperate yet"

So I go back in 6 weeks to have another round of blood work done to see how my thyroid and diabetes is doing and get a pap test.  Some how I can see him fucking around with my meds and putting off surgery for months or years.  I'm going to be thirty in less than a week and my husband and I what to have kids.  I don't have time to fuck around with this doctor.  I don't know what I'm going to do.  Maybe I'll give this doctor a few more visits then switch doctors.  I don't know.  Any of you know of a primary care physician in State College pa that isn't anti-wls?

Howdy!

So I'm nosing around on youtube again.  Guess what I found!  A narrated video of the Rou En Y gastric bypass surgery.  In all likely hood this is the surgery that I will have done. Of course there are guts and cutting and stitching and even a little burning and smoke from cauterized wounds in the video so it's not for pussies people who are effected by these sights.   You've been warned!




How cool is that?

Howdy!

When I was in college I took piano and classical voice.  Now while I used to be able to sing in "full voice" like an opera singer.  I was never able to master playing the piano.  My hands are too small, I usually use them to measure things because it's exactly 6 inches from my wrist to the tip of my middle finger. Anyway in memory of the bad old days of plunking my way through "Heart and Soul" I offer this video which made me rofl.  Enjoy

I haven't posed anything lately and I suppose I should.  There isn't  anything going on to post about though.  Couple weeks until I see the doctor again and find out if there is anything wrong with my thyroid gland.  And get the results from my A1C.  I haven't gone to the lab to have them take the blood yet.  Doc said to wait until a few days before my appointment.  Tom's going to see his chiropractor on the 11th so I'm going to tag along and get my blood taken then.

My birthday is this month.  July 26th.  I've asked my hubby to help me get a tattoo this year.  I want a jellyfish or a seahorse.  Tom's family has a tradition of getting together on a weekend day to celebrate birthdays.  Last weekend we had my bro in law, Mike's party at a Chinese restaurant.  My birthday is on a Saturday this year.  I need to decide where to have the "party."  This is tricky because half of us are diabetic and Mike had a stroke in April so the menu is a big consideration.  Maybe I'll say fuck it and have my birthday get together at Olive Garden }:-)

Love and kisses,
Ericka

Today George Carlin died having rough sex in Barcalounger with Norwegian sailor.

I'm not  a comedian, and I'm too sad to be funny so I'll just steal that line from him. 

I'm actually tearing up a little.  He was my favorite funny guy.  If Lewis Black drops dead tomorrow I may have nothing left to laugh about.  Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits. 

That is all.

Howdy!

Today I downloaded the free trial version of the creature creator for the game spore.  And may I just say that it is going to be awesome.  After you've made your creature and you're playing around with him you can capture video and automatically upload them to youtube.  Here's a good video of the second creature I made today.

The first one didn't turn out so well, the video had weird background noise.  This one is much better.  I can't wait until this game is finally released!  The little howl at the end of the video is just friggin adorable!
