Tootin' My Own Horn!

Ok, so when I should've felt good about how I looked I didn't (that damn hindsight) and I don't feel good about how I look at this weight very often, but today I think I look damn good!

Heh heh, I'm a wee bit embarrassed by this post now, but since ya'll have already seen & commented on it, there's no deleting it! (Well, I know I could but that wouldn't be right in my book since it's been seen). The pic came out better on my cell phone actually than it did here. (It's darker and a little fuzzy here). Ah well. Nothing wrong with a little self confidence!

Don't ever EVER feel embarrassed about yourself. You look great. You are so incredibly beautiful and I hope you see that you reflect that in all you do and how you look today is just one more example of that. Enjoy and love you look and are awesome.

How truly rude of me that I didn't thank all of you for your loving & supportive comments above! I apologize.

I love you Tera! (That's my thank you to you!)

Thank you Brandie and Lizzi! (I'm still a little embarrassed by this post and hope I haven't made anyone feel bad! I know so many of us are struggling with our weight and other 'self image' issues as of late).

Thanks Deb! I do forget it often because I don't look past what I see in the mirror most times.

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
