I am just FLABBERGASTED!
FLABBERGASTED!!!
I was going to say speechless but that wouldn't actually be true since I have lots to say. And besides, when have you guys ever known me to be speechless? Seriously?
It looks like there were at least 1,000 new visitors to my blog between Friday and today, mostly in thanks to SITS and me being the featured blog on Friday.
That was ONE THOUSAND new visitors! I was never any good at math in school so luckily there were low cut shirts and short shorts and male math teachers and luckily I didn't have to know too much of it to pass the classes in high school...
Oh, wait... where was I going with this?
Oh, right, the new visitors!
Ya, I tried counting all the new visitors as they showed up on my doorstep but ran out of fingers and toes pretty quickly. Luckily I have my statcounter to tally up all my fabulous visitors so I didn't have to bother the neighbors to help me. Which is a good thing since my new neighbors don't speak English. And their dog is kind of scary.
And did I mention they don't speak English? At all?
It was so great to see everyone and see all the comments that were left. Everyone was so sweet! It's going to take weeks for me to get through all the comments and visit everyone back!
First, I have to admit something. That I didn't notice until today. And I am soooo embarrassed. Did anyone else notice it? It was right there in big, bold letters! Did you catch it?
Ya, see I knew you did! I'm so ashamed! My last post was titled "Wlecome" instead of "Welcome!"
Sheesh! Where did I learn to spell?!?! Ya, it could have been in one of the classes with the low cut shirts and short shorts. Just sayin...
There is also a lot of new followers that I'm so excited to have around. Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow to visit you guys and follow you back.
It's 3:30 in the morning, and yes I'm up at this hour yet again because of Mr T. I think I'm going to go lay down and pretend to be sleeping. Maybe I can fake my own body out and it'll fall asleep. You know, like when you encounter a bear, and you pretend your dead?
Ya, sorta like that.
All right. Good night everyone! Hugs and kisses to all my new friends!
P.S. Who left a pair of of sparkly black thongs when they stopped by? They're really cute, and super comfy, and they fit me... Um, forget I mentioned them! What thongs? What are you talking about? I didn't mention thongs!

Welcome SITS! SITS Does a Bloggy Good...
Well, helllloooooo there!
It's after midnight and I just wanted to put up a quick post to welcome everyone from SITS!
I tried to clean up the place a bit (do you like the new curtains?) There's fresh coffee and donuts out for everyone so pull up a chair, or a pillow, and take a load off...
I'm so excited to have everyone here at my cute little blog that I can't even sleep right now. Ok, well, maybe it's also because of Mr T and because of the recent increase in dosage that I had to take again today, but I'm positive that THAT is only part of it!
And for all the rest of you who are stopping by who aren't visiting from SITS, and want other updates, here you go:
Mother in law is not doing good at all. She's gotten worse in fact. She was supposed to start chemo but because she's still infected with MRSA from the first and second cancer surgeries, and still has open wounds from the incisions, they haven't started that yet. She also has contracted some sort of viral infection that sounds like it's traveled to her chest. We're very worried that this could turn into Pneumonia or Bronchitis. She has Stage 4 cancer and I can't imagine losing her to something like pneumonia or bronchitis instead because of the complications!
My dosage of Mr T was increased another 25 mg today. Wow.
Did I say WOW?
Holy hell...
Normally if I guzzle water like there's no tomorrow, the burning, tingling in my hands and feet stays at bay. Not this afternoon. The pain was widespread but the worst was in my left thumb which hurt, well, HURTS still, like I hit it with a hammer. Tonight the pain is still bad in my hands and feet, really bad in my thumb, but other then no appetite, that's about it so far.
Well, that and the fact that I've lost.....
TEN POUNDS!!!!!!
The first week I lost almost 4 pounds, which I thought could have been a fluke, but then this past week I've lost an additional 6 pounds. Amazing what happens when you stop eating all kinds of crap, er, I mean, being more responsible. And Mr T is actually turning me off to junk food and making me crave protein and healthier foods. Most of it still tastes like cardboard. It's weird. I WANT to eat it but when I go to eat it, it doesn't taste good. If that can make any sense at all! lol
All right, I'm closing now so I can post this before anyone stops by...
Happy Friday everyone!!!

Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.
I didn't have time to post on my blog last night even though me and my laptop were very cozy on the couch. I was looking at different blog layouts trying to find something cute for everyone's upcoming visit from SITS (which I found out will be postponed until next Friday). I didn't get enough beauty sleep last night because I was up late browsing sites for so long so yes, as a matter of fact, I DO look like a used wash rag today. What's your point? Lol
I thought since Thursdays are usually slow at work, I could do my post from there today but came in only to find that my computer died a quick and painful death taking with it most of my photos! (What's that you say? Maybe it was karma trying to tell me that I should be working at work and not doing something personal? Oh ya! Like you're so perfect?!? Like you neeeeeveeerrrrrr play a little solitaire during those long 8 hours each work day? Or stalk old boyfriends on Facebook? Or catch up on your blog reader? Ya, I'm sure you don't... If we all didn't screw off at work a little bit, we would all have to start drinking at 6 in the morning just to get thru the day! Ok, so sometimes I do that too... Don't judge me! Oh, and if the person reading this is someone I work for, this blog post is completely fabricated for entertainment purposes only. I totally give 110% at work every day. True story)
There's a new IT person at work. She is very sweet, and quiet, and, I'm pretty sure, fresh out of school. My email was acting up yesterday, not sending anything out that I was trying to send, and she tried to "fix" it last night which started making all these errors pop up as I was leaving and now nothing is working. I'm not blaming her. I'm just sayin... Now my computer has gone to that big web in the sky, taking some very precious memories of mine with it!
For my Mr. T update: Since Monday the heart burn has continued to be horrible and I still feel like my insides are going to melt and slide out my body and puddle at my feet. (The new Tums Quik Pak Instant dissolve powder paks are my new bff's! Think they'll sponsor me for something lol?) I'm still getting bad tingling in my hands and feet that goes away as long as I'm guzzling water. To say that I'm drinking lots of water would be an understatement. Let's just say that there could be a MAJOR drought in Utah this summer which would rest squarely on my shoulders. And I can only drink tap water which I never could stand before. All the bottle water I've tried this past week tastes awful! How is it that the tap water tastes good and the bottled water tastes like its full of minerals and lead? I've spent more time peeing this past week then I think I have the last 31 years of my life! That was probably TMI but I told you I needed to share
everything lol. I was told to make sure to drink at least one or two sports drinks a day as well to keep my electrolytes and all that in balance since they can get all out of whack when you're drinking this much agua. Yes, that was Spanish my friends. Ok, maybe not. Is it agua or aqua? No, aqua is a color right? See, my brain is a little fuzzy. Ok, I promise not to attempt any more Spanish here in the future lol.
Let's see, what else do I need to tell you about? I've continued to be a klutz, no news flash there. Oh, something I forgot to mention before, that I noticed has been there since Mr T started hanging around, is that my tongue always feels raw. You know that feeling you get on your tongue when you scorch it biting into something that's wayyyy too hot still? And you burn all the taste buds off? The top of my tongue feels that way and now so does the tip. And I noticed 2 days
ago that there are a few spots on my gums and on the inside of my mouth that feel warmer then the rest and also kind of raw. Have you ever bit the inside of your mouth? Or maybe your cheek? And it gets that raw feeling right before you get a sore or a cut from it? That's how it feels! So weird! There's no cuts or sores, it just feels like there is ABOUT to be one.
Today I started taking 50 mgs a day. I'm supposed to take 25 in the morning and 25 at night but because of the sleeplessness, I took all 50 this morning. The copper taste was back in my mouth and I totally bit the tip of my tongue twice about an hour ago while chewing gum and talking to a girl I work with. Yes, I'm very coordinated that way, and it was extremely classy. I never thought I would be too dumb to talk and chew gum at the same time but alas, that time has arrived! Ugh.
Anyways, I'm going to end this post (finally right?).
Oh, and this coming Sunday, March 8th, is my 32nd bday! If you must send gifts, please send cash since Mr Man says I have too many purses and that's the only thing I'm wanting lol
Have a great day everyone!

Don't be jealous, yo!
I was checking my blog traffic report yesterday morning and noticed a TON of hits to my blog that morning before 7 am. I had noticed an increase in traffic when I started blogging about my new friend Mr. T so I thought maybe that was it. I drilled into my little report closer and saw all these hits from SITS and wondered what in the heck was going on. It turns out….
Drum roll please….
I WON!!! I WON!!! I WON!!!
Remember the Bedroom Bliss contest I’d blogged about here? I won! I can’t believe it! Not only do I win all that cool stuff, which will make my bedroom life a lot more comfortable and, um, interesting, (clears throat), but I also get to be Fridays featured blogger. That means that all those wonderful, witty, funny ladies will be stopping by for a visit this coming Friday. There is sooooo much I need to get done before then.
I better straighten up a bit huh? Maybe a new layer of paint and polish around here?
Maybe buy some new curtains? Change the sheets in the guest room? Put out the good china?
What do you serve guests you’ve never met in real life?
(I hope no one opens any of the closet doors or looks under any beds. That’s where I shove everything when I haven’t had time to clean properly before guests arrive…Shhh.. Don’t tell my mom!)
I am so excited that I can hardly stand it! And I’m probably getting on your nerves by now so I’ll shut up for the time being but I do want to thank everyone for all their wonderful, fabulous comments about winning the contest. You ladies are wonderful and sweet and I could just kiss ya! (Well, except for you over there... You look like you might be breaking out with a cold sore… How about we just hug?)
So while I try and prepare my little cottage here in my neighborhood on the web for the upcoming visitors, I may be scarce. But I will send out some quick updates on Mr T before I go...
Sunday, which would be day 4 in my new relationship with Mr. T, not much to report other then serious heart burn. Not just a little heart burn but SERIOUS heart burn. Like, I thought maybe my insides were going to actually MELT. That's how bad the heart burn was. Still drinking tons of water and Powerade and not having much appetite. My headaches have returned though, but the doctor said that was to be expected for awhile until I got at a higher, steady dose so I guess that's to be expected for now.
All right, I'll post again in a day or so...

SITS Giveaway! Check it out!
If you are not a fan of SITS, or a follower for that matter, and you are a blogger, you need to check this site out. Seriously. It's brought lots of traffic to my blog that I never had when I started blogging. And isn't that what we're all here for anyways? To have the validation through traffic and comments that someone other than ourselves is paying attention to our thoughts and dreams?
(Well, those and the whining that usually accompanies said thoughts and dreams...)
I love this site and right now they're giving away a fabulous prize for February, Bedroom Bliss.
No ladies, this does not mean that if you win, they will send some hot, sexy guy to your house to provide all the bedroom "bliss" you can handle.
Of course the prize will probably be delivered by a UPS or FX delivery driver...
Who will probably be male. (That's all that's ever delivered to my house.)
What you do when he gets there to deliver your prize is none of my concern... That's between you, him, and the nosey neighbor who will probably see you pulling him in your front door by his shirt.
A set of 2 Memory Foam Pillows
Sheet spray, lotion and candles
A set of soft and luxurious spa towels
The winner's blog will be SITS Friday Favorite the first Friday of March!
Which really means, they'll spotlight your very own blog, tell everyone about it, and hundreds of beautiful, intelligent people will race to your blog to check it out and leave comments filled with love and admiration about how smart, funny and witty you and your writing really is. Ok, well, maybe not EXACTLY that last part, but they will show up and comment on your blog. And since we're a group of friendly, wonderful people, you will get friendly, wonderful comments on your blogging.
What more could you ask for?? So go on... Go visit the links I've provided and enter to win. Not for nothing but I'm hoping I win this and not you! Spray 'n Wash ruined the last beautiful high thread count sheet set I bought when I sprayed it on one of the pillow cases. It bleached out the color! What's up with that?!?! So I really need to win this one!
Of course there are rules and stipulations on how you enter to win. So read through all the deets on their site to get all the info.
Happy Friday everyone!

SITS Love Baby, SITS Love....
I've decided there are wayyyyy too many funny, witty, talented people out there in internet land. I've been neglecting my own blog because I've been spending too much time reading other peoples blogs. Well, that, and cuz I've been a twitter whore lately.
Today is the SITS Blogathon and I wanted to write and tell everyone about it. SITS, or Secret Is In The Sauce, has been a lifesaver! When I started my blog, I was doing it for me and me only. Then I started reading other peoples blogs and it was like a lightbulb went off in my head. DING! Wow! Other people read these peoples blogs and say how funny they are or that they have felt that exact same way before too! Since I am such an attention whore (ok, that's twice I've called myself a whore now in this post... lol) I decided to find ways to put my blog out there so other people would know about it and come visit my blog.
SITS was a wonderful tool to get more people to my blog. The site is all about helping other bloggers get their blogs out there and read by other people with the same goal. It's been great to have people reading and commenting on your posts. It's like crack, but in a good way! lol
Now I'll be telling you about some of the blogs that I've learned about since I joined SITS. These are in no particular order except for teh first one. When I had to think about the 5 blogs I'd blog about it today, the Steenky Bee was the first one that came to mind. I've become her newest stalker and she's sooooooooooooo damn funny, I can't stand her! Ok, well actually I do stand her since I stalk her blog daily! I love Jen! She's very funny and she better watch out. She lives near me so I could actually stalk her for real if I were more ambitious. Since I'm kinda lazy and have a lot of mom stuff to attend to, she doesn't have to worry...
Now the others I'd like to mention in no particular order.... Not that i love you guys any less!
Mrs Mouthy
The Queen Bee
The Journey To The Hot Tub
I'm Being Held Hostage
Stolen BonBons
One Crafty Mama!
Tales of a Kansas Girl
SmoochieFrog
On the Upside
Mama's Losin It!
And since I can never decide on my favorites and there are tons out there, don't be surprised to come back and find this list added to!
I better get ready for work now. Happy SITS day everyone!
P.S. Since SITS is all about comment love, leave me some love wouldja!?!?!
