Check Up Time

It's time for my thyroid check-up, I guess.  I called my doctor to have him call in my prescriptions and got a call back that I have to get blood tests done and come see him again. *sigh*

When I'm feeling fine, and obviously managing my thyroid just fine, I hate this waste of time and money. 13 years of thyroid disease...that's a lot of doctor appointments and tests.

Guitar Addictions

As a guitar player, what do you always have on hand?

• guitar stands
• guitar picks
• guitar straps
• anything else?

We have many of each in our home to go with the dozen guitars we have in this house.  It actually may be more than a dozen. I've lost count.  There are floor stands, wall hangers, there are straps packed away for use, there are actually containers with compartments for the hundred of guitar picks my husband has (and collects) and several capos in a variety of colors. 

Guitars are my husband's addiction. (It makes for good threat material - you ever cheat, I have a bonfire with all your guitars - LOL.)  We'll be married 18 years soon and no cheating. Maybe my threat on his babies works! Kidding!

Christmas Tree Hangover

Anybody else ready to take the tree down? I am ALWAYS ready to take it down as soon as Christmas is over to get it out of my living room and make space (we're cramped here with six of us). The family wants it left up until after New Year's. Noooooo! LOL

99% Done with Shopping!

With the exception of the people who take care of our horses, I am done with shopping for the holidays! My stepdaughter's gift will arrive to her Saturday. My stepson received his today. We went with an element for his music making. One day, I'm sure he's hoping to be rich enough to buy himself a modulus bass guitar but our bank account can afford the MPC Element we bought him.

I am still waiting for a few deliveries here at home for my kids and still have to ship my mother's gift out to her (Kindle - we're going to get her hooked up technologically speaking in baby steps!), but 99% of the actual shopping - done!

3.7 Pounds Left

No weight gained over Thanksgiving. Not bad for eating so much. I ate to the point of STUFFED for three days straight, but I watched what I ate. Anything that might aggravate my gallstones (fried, fatty foods), I ate but not to excess. It was so yummy.

3.7 pounds left to lose and no gallstone attack over Thanksgiving.  Bonus!
