.:UPDATE:.
we found out a couple of days ago that it is a boy!! I'm so excited to have a nephew. & that there is a 50/50 chance he has adrenoleukodystrophy. they won't know until he is born. if he does have it they can start medication from day 1 and that could either eliminate the disease or subdue the symptoms for a number of years. because once the symptoms start, it's not long after that that the person will die. please pray that he won't have it because it is a fatal disease and most don't live beyond their 30's. here's the site on it:

http://www.aldfoundation.org/

i think this completely deserves coming back to say. . .

MY SISTER-IN-LAW HAS A BUN IN THE OVEN!!!!!!

(for those completely oblivious people that means she's pregnant)


Yes folks there's going to be a grandbaby/nephew/niece in the family. Justin & Blythe are expecting their first child. Due February 15. Everybody wants it to be a V-Day baby, I'd rather it not be one. Most V-Day babies don't like being V-Day babies. but simply put, I CANNOT WAIT to be a AUNT. i've been waiting FOREVER it seems like. the day has finally arrived. well almost.
Lots of prayers are needed over these next months. If the baby is a girl, the girl will be a carrier (most likely) of the disease Blythe's father died from & the disease will continue on.
If the baby is a boy, there's a 50/50 chance he will have the disease. Everyone is hoping for a boy for several reasons- the chance the boy won't have the disease & it will stop with Blythe (who is a carrier). & so Justin & Blythe can carry on the family name (which they want to do). also they are only having one child of their own, the rest they are adopting. 1 chance for the disease to be stopped forever. It's in the Lord's hands.

I thought I'd come back to say one thing. . . .

 

I WON FIRST PLACE IN THE STUDENT WRITING WORKSHOP AT MY COLLEGE!!!!!

There's a presentation Wednesday at noon where I read my selection (a script) aloud and get honored I guess. I think it's in room 289b at tc3 dryden. My script was the first creative writing piece to win a writer's workshop at tc3 ever.

 

Oh, and I also receive $100.

                                              UPDATE
i wanted to do a quick update on how everythin is seein as how i saw the surgical associates today. they said my slits are healing nicely, doin what theyre supposed to do. but im sorta behind the scheduled recovery process. not too far but a tad all cuz of the upper respiratory infection. i cant do any athletic/exercising type stuff until oct. 4. which puts me in a rough way for my fitness class. im already in a rough way w/ classes. i get to go back to them tomorrow n same w/ work. but i have to take it slow. which puts me at missin classes for a week n a half. n i still have to take it slow. im also permitted to start driving again, but again-slowly. that was like every other word out of this associates mouth durin the whole appointment. by the end of the recovery process ill be almost an entire month behind. thank you very much appendicitis. *sigh*

well boys n gurls. the appendix is lost. well not lost jus no longer inside of me. prolly off in some sort of toxic waste basket somewhere in tompkins county. i spent 2 days in the hospital. had several tests done on me includin a CT scan. had major emergency surgery n recovered. thankfully they were able to remove it before it ruptured. most of the time spent in the hospital i do not remember becuz of all the drugs. opium, morphine, vicatin you name it they pumped it thru my IV. i did develop an allergic reaction to somethin they put into my IV while i was there. so that was fun. im still recovering. i cant do much. except lay down. i cant go back to classes or work until sometime next week. i go back in on monday or tuesday for them to do some final tests n what not. i developed an upper respiratory infection yesterday on the way home from the hospital n well lets jus say it hurts me. i have 3 lil stab wounds in my tummy. n 3 lil stitch areas to compliment them. my belly button ring is gone as well. cuz of the surgery. im in a lot of pain but glad to be on the other side of it. appendicitis is not somethin i would ever recommend. n no matter how many times you see on tv the person in a curled up position cuz it makes the appendicitis feel better, its a lie. all lies. no position will ever make that pain go away. all of the nurses were amazing n incredible to me. n my surgeon was really nice n came highly recommended. thanks jules. i still cant believe i have one less organ. what a way to top off my awful week/weekend.

after bein thru all this n what not i am goin to say good bye. it harldy seems worth my time at all. ta-ta.

:::::edit:::::  I would really appreciate any and all prayers during these next couple weeks as the recovery is going slowly.

another one bites the dust

haha oh how true that statement is. [court, unfortunately we were wrong about the blonde guys. apparently they are no better than the brunettes.] but you know what. this time im okay. honestly.

life has been automatic supersonic crazeh. ive been rushin around school, meetin w/ people, sendin out emails, fillin out forms, all so i can graduate in may. n dangit today we finally got it all settled n babeh in may im gettin my degree! im super pumped. i love my advisor, which is suprising cuz i usually dont like them. but she really works w/ me n really helps me out n she is the #1 reason i get to graduate in may. she got ALL of my bible credits transferred which is stinkin awesome. my night class is goin great. i really enjoy it despite the fact that its 3 hrs long. most of my other classes are good. n my web courses are goin smashingly. the prof loves me. i think ill prolly end out this year of college w/ a 3.8 maybe 3.9.

ive been havin lunches n hangin out w/ my few friends at tc3 n its been great. altho the wicker man was poopy. *sigh* i fear nicholas cage is done. i think matchstick men was prolly his greatest last.

a girl, total chick, in my lit class today took credit for something i said during class. he didnt quite see who said it so he asked who n that dang chick said "i did!" i gasped, literally. i was so livid. she didnt even know the answer.

my job is still fantastic. the boys are wonderful n its right next to the school so its so nice to not waste gas for once. im lookin into gettin a job at the kinney drugs that is goin up there so once again itll be savin gas n what not.

hunter safety training courses start next week. im pumped. then we can get my license. then my gun. yippee. then my clothes. 1st day of huntin season babeh, im there. still lookin for an appropriate gun tho. i almost got a side-by-side double barrel the other day, no joke i was super close, but we decided to get a single shot first then someday down the line get that puppy. i think im goin to end up jus havin to buy a youth stock n trade it out on the gun. cuz it costs a buttload more for a gunsmith to chop that sucker n someday maybe i want it to be the stock it originally came w/. so im hopin we can find my browning gold 20 gauge. if not i might end up w/ a remington. nice guns, but i jus love those brownings.

*sometimes youve got to fold before youre found out well thanks thanks for waitin this long to show yourself show yourself cuz now that i can see you i dont think youre worth a second glance so much for all the promises you made they served you well n now youre gone n theyre wasted on me so much for your endearin sense of charm it served you well n now its gone n youre wasted on me i guess that all youve got is all youre gonna get so much for so much more*~dc

the 30th was the 10 year "anniversary" of my aunts death. its super weird to drive through that intersection now, where theyve put up a blinking red light n stop signs, n remember that it is exactly where the accident occurred n that she was right there, so close to all of us. i can remember exactly the whole day it happened. i dont remember much after we got to my grandparents house except that i went straight to my cousin, my aunts daughter, n hugged her. we sat there like 2 souls as 1 clinging to each other. not crying or anything, jus sitting. the shock set into both of us later on. she n i stayed w/ our grandparents for almost 2 full weeks after that. sleeping in 1 bed, tangled together, living off of each other. our older 2 cousins joined us after they traveled back from college. they arrived at like 2 in the morning n they crawled into bed w/ us. 1 on either side n held us. those moments bound the 4 of us forever. the moment we finally both cried was at the funeral. it finally hit us n we cuddled in a corner together in the funeral home n balled. it was one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life. its jus sad it took so many lives to make them realize that intersection needed more than jus a plain old stop sign that cant be seen in the dark. i miss her, even though i was younger, i remember a whole lot about her n esp. that she was my favorite aunt. she made things easier w/ my uncle n my cousins. things would have been so different is she was still around. its not a good picture of her, it doesnt do her justice.
