A Update on Life

So here I sit staring at this blank white page wondering what to write. I have not written anything in quite a while. It's not because nothing is going on. It's not because I don't have lots of things I could be telling you. It's because every time I sit down here to write I draw this great big blank. I guess some call it writer's block.

The last time I wrote it was snowing in Las Vegas. That was a very pleasant surprise for all that live here in the middle of the desert. It was quite treacherous but also quite beautiful. We had to cancel Christmas in Tucson because I had missed a week of work ill, So I worked Christmas, and then we had a quiet Christmas at home. New Year's Eve was quiet as we decided to spend it at home and watch the fireworks on the television.

Then came January 29th my daughter-in-law had a son they named him Aaron. I am now a grandmother. February brought Bruce's sister Janet visiting for a week. For Valentines Day my wonderful husband who I love so very much spoiled me, he hand-delivered a dozen yellow roses to me at work, he also bought me chocolate and a few other things I can't mention here ;) I love him so very much. I got Bruce and me tickets to see Bite at the Stratosphere. We had a quiet dinner at Palace Station and then went to see the show. When we got ready to leave the Valet brought us the wrong vehicle. I can't believe that the stratosphere lost our car. It was cold and they were apologetic but all I wanted to do was go home.

Last weekend I called my husband from work and asked him if he would like to go to San Diego for the weekend. I caught him off guard but he enjoyed the spontaneity and got to see a side of me he hasn't seen before. I left work early, we packed up the car, and off we went. It took about 6 hours to get there. The ocean is always so calming for me. I could walk on the beach for hours. The water was still very cold but I still walked on the edge with it lapping at my feet. Kody on the other hand was not too impressed with the cold water. We found a wonderful Mexican restaurant with very delicious food, we ate sitting out front watching the people walking and driving by. I would definitely like to go back again once the weather gets warmer.

On a personal note, I am considering having lap band surgery performed. I went to a seminar and was scheduled for some tests. I passed all the medical tests and have now been cleared for surgery. I still have to receive a psych evaluation, meet with a nutritionist and save about $2,000.00 before they will schedule the surgery. I am still doing a lot of research and am not 100% sure that this is something that will create a positive experience for me. Guess I am having second thoughts or that I am afraid of the person I could become after the surgery. Hell, I don't know maybe I really do need that psych evaluation...lol! Bruce says he will stand by me regardless of what I decide. He loves me and nothing will change that ever. Hope everyone is in good health and is having a great 2009. Until next time take care and enjoy life.
