10 Things About Me

Fine. I'll be "IT".

1. I LOVE Delilah. FM100 in the evenings. I love elevator music in general. I know most the songs and can sing them by heart and they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

2. Peanut Butter is my favorite food --hands down. I think I might be a teeny bit allergic, or maybe I just overeat it because sometimes I eat so much peanut butter I get kinda sick. :( What is wrong with me?!

3. Everyone knows I have a twin brother. But I don't think everyone knows I consider him my best friend. Besides Big Daddy of course. But I can tell him pretty much anything, finish his sentences, read his thoughts. I trust him with my secrets. I have no idea if it's a twin thing or not having never been anything else. I just know that's how it is.

4. I always wanted alot of kids. I wasn't blessed to have all the right plumbing for alot of kids. I'm lucky to have conceived the two I did. Instead I married a family who graciously invited me to help parent 4 more kids. It's been a wonderful ride.

5. I can't wait to have treasure hunts with the grandkids. I have the perfect treasure chest.

6. I'm a closet cowgirl. I secretly listen to country music in the car. I LOVE to wear my red cowgirl boots. It makes me feel like I can do anything and nobody will give me any crap. Well. Alot of my family will give me crap when they read this.

7. I get my feelings hurt easily. Sometimes it takes me years to get over stuff. I work on this daily. Sometimes hourly.

8. I'm a giver. I like to give things to people and do for others. It makes me really happy. I love to watch our children eat. I love gift giving and I've been known to go ape.

9. I love a beautiful yard but I hate to work in the yard. Such a diva.

10. I really wanted to be a nurse when I grew up. I'm over it.

Who Am I Kidding ?

I am NOT a blogger. It's been a good solid six weeks since my last installment. I think in the world of blogging that's called blogstipation. In my world it's called life. I'll recap the last six weeks.

Radio Frequency Treatment - Many of my closest friends and family know that I have some health challenges that relate to my spine and arthritis. The discs in my neck and back are slowly either turning to stone, or bulging into my spinal cord causing alot of pain and muscle weakness. I came accross a treatment that may get me some more mileage before doing more spinal fusion. RFT was performed in my neck about 4 weeks ago. The description does not adequately describe the procedure. I went in 3 times to precisely locate the nerve causing pain and agony. Each time a long needle was inserted into my neck directly to the spine. I had to be awake the entire time. I was on Valium and Fentanyl, but it still hurt and was really scary. When they turned on the radio waves it felt like I was being electrocuted. HOWEVER, It has greatly improved the pain in my arms. The muscle weakness is still a problem. Hard to cook, clean and hold Carter. Don't care about cooking and cleaning as much as I do holding Carter (and Rayder due in 12 days)

Zija International Convention: Since my retirement from full time employment I have enjoyed working for Rodney at Zija helping out with events. The convention was held in Dallas, Texas and it was a great success. I'm really proud of my brother, the CEO. He has such a great way of leading people that is confident and powerful, yet kind and gentle.

Craig's Japanese Adventure: Craig has traveled quite a bit in the past for different work projects, normally it's been me who has had to travel while he holds down the fort. It's finally caught up with him, Craig couldn't put off a trip to Japan any longer. Quest Group recently launched some a new colon cleanse product which require some specialized local marketing strategies be put in place. Craig is meeting with some Japanese marketing specialists who will sell the heck out of our newest ColoDetox product. He is also spending some much needed bonding time with our office staff and other business associates we so appreciate.

There you have it. My excuse for being blog clogged up.
