Bellyachin' about snow


Hi sisters - just thought I'd add a note about the love-hate relationship me and snow is having. On one hand, it is so pretty and pure and fluffy and all and then on the other hand it such a pain in the butt! I'm adding a picture of that infamous table on our back porch to show the continual growing of the stuff. I'm afraid it will overtake the entire area and seep under the door and come into the bedroom to get me! I truly hate being this cold and I need some really hot weather right now. HOT!
On another note, I've been having weird things happening with my eyes and, honestly, it was freaking me out! Yesterday I could hardly focus on anything - all these prism-type things and blurriness, accompanied by bunches of floaters. So today I called the doc and they had me come right in - that in itself was scary (not scarry). Anyway, for the most part, the vitreous is pulling away from ..... something - retina, maybe which happens to be a natural occurrence when, as the doc who looks like she might be 13 says something like..... 'when women your age....blah, blah, blah.....Anyway, it's a natural happening that begins at about age 15 where this big jello-like blob starts pulling away and when it does causes these particles to float around and can cause tears. They checked everything out thoroughly and see no real harm. I'm just an overachiever in the pulling away area, I guess. It did scare (and scar) me though. As it turned out, I'm just fine and I'm happy about that.
Well, it's almost time for me to watch Biggest Loser and American Idol - frantically switch back and forth from one to the other. Well, not really. I'm pretty bored with all the drama of Biggest Loser - those losers. I just like to watch when they get on the scale. Sadistic, right?! I love AI now that Ellen is on there. She just cracks me up. I think as our next Sisters trip we should go to her show - whatdayathink?
I'm all used up for today - signing off for now.

  1. I hear ya about the snow! UGH!

    That is disturbing about the eyes. Good that it is a natural thing, but what do you do about it? Some days I have blurriness and I think it is caused by my big fat face being swelled up and making my openings smaller. As I am coming off the sterroids, that should get better.

    I have never watched an episode of Big Loser or American Idol. I am out of it I guess. I have been tempted since Ellen is on though. I do love Ellen and I think that is a great idea to see if we could see her show.

    I have an urge to add to the blog but it has been so dang boring around here, I can't think of a thing to say.

    Thanks for writing this so I could have at least something to comment on.
