• A Proper Post

       FINALLY!

  
  

       Important items in bullet form:

  
  

  
  
  • My brother's girlfriend Vickie's sister is STILL in the hospital is STILL in ICU but supposedly she is improving.  She has been there for over 3 weeks now.  She is not in the induced coma anymore but she is not able to talk as she has a tube going down her throat.  Vickie asked her if she was in pain and she nodded her head, "yes".  So, they gave her some pain meds.  Weird, eh?
  
  
  • My friend's husband will have surgery next week for his cancer.  I will go and stay at the hospital with her and the girls while he is having the surgery.
  
  
  • My cold is better but I'm not 100% yet.  My ear is almost all the way unplugged and the coughing has lessened.
  
  
  • I finally called the tech people for my internet connection problem and they say that it's a phone line gone bad so I have to get someone over to my house to investigate the problem.  Who knows when that will happen.  It's not top priority right now.
  
  
  • Tonight I'm going to a dedication to a baseball field for one of the Compassionate Friends members.  Their son was murdered while at a house party (in Nov. 05').  Some guys tried to crash the party and they were told to leave.  Well, they did leave but returned with a gun and they ended up killing the young man that the baseball field is to be dedicated to tonight.  He was only 18 years old.  Senseless, eh?

  
  

       IT'S OFFICIAL - I am diabetic.  It was official on Halloween of last year but I finally got the bling to prove it:

  
  

   

  
  

       It's a sterling silver bracelet.  Not the typical "med alert" bracelet though.  It's got two charms on it.  On the larger charm it has my med info on it.  I've ALWAYS loved charm bracelets so that was why I picked the style that I got.

  
  

       RANDOMNESS:

  
  

       Can someone tell me what is sexy about this:

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

       There is a high rise condo complex that is being built in downtown San Jose.  Do you see how they are advertising the units?  "SEXY"?!  What the heck is sexy about the complex?  Why do they have to use THAT word and how do you explain to a child what that means when advertising a building complex?  Pierce and Jessica are doing pretty good with their reading nowadays and I know Pierce likes to read things at random.  What would I tell him when/if he asked what that meant?!  WTF?  I know, to some of you the price would be the topic of conversation in this post!  Heh heh........we are used to it around here though!

  
  

       Last, but not least.....my friend's daughter Jenny has a boyfriend and yesterday was their first Valentine's Day together.  Jenny works at a bakery part-time.  LOOK at what she brought home for her boyfriend:

  
  

  

  
  

       THAT, my friends is a HUGE chocolate eclair.  Does it look sinful or WHAT?!  It was so huge, she had to put it in a 12" cake box.  YUM YUM - AND, he didn't share it with anyone.  He actually didn't cut into it last night though when I was there!  I wonder how many Weight Watcher points the entire eclair would be.  Probably about 99!

  
  

       Alrighty folks, that is my "Proper Post" for the day, week, month!  You all have a great weekend, take good care of yourselves and as always, be sure to hug your families.

  a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
