I saw this website on Nightline tonight and think it is extremely cool. I know Misti will think so too, so I decided to share. This man is posting his grandfather's letters from WW1 in real time, 90 years to the date after he wrote them. I'm going to go back and read through them and try to keep up with it.
We had a great time last weekend. It was good to see Leah. It was very low-key which made me happy :).
Nancy had her teeth cleaned and a big cyst removed off her knee today. I can't stand that she is getting old. She still seems like a puppy! But all is good for now, she had a bunch of blood work done before the surgery and she got a clean bill of health.
I'm off to bed. Vic works tomorrow (leaves at 4 flippin' 30!) and Nancy is ready to get in bed...so I'm going too. I have big plans of gettin' my hair did and going to Teacher's Tools tomorrow--whoo-hooo!

I'm waiting on my dear friends, Kim and Leah, to arrive so at any moment I may cut this short...but I thought I'd give a quick update. Leah's in town for the weekend so they are spending the night. I'm really excited to see her...I haven't seen her for more than just a minute or ten in several years. We are going up to 2 Charlies, a new bar/restaurant in Denton that Mandy is working at now that she graduated with her masters degree :). She will get a real job soon!
My most favorite news of the minute is that we ARE NOT moving to Albuquerque! I had resigned myself to being ok with it, but I really didn't want to leave my friends and family who are mostly in this area. Vic gave it a good run, but due to some circumstances completely beyond his control, we decided it would be better to come home. He got a job at a "safety man" at T.K. Stanley, the co. that bought my parents out a few years back. So even though I went off to college, met someone who had no ties to the oil field, and moved to Dallas...he somehow found his way to becoming oil field trash, just like me! It's long hours, but decent pay, and he seems to really enjoy it so far--life is good!
I finally went to a fertility doc in Plano. He came highly recommended by two friends of mine--one who is fat, he also has some locally famous clients (wives of Cowboys, anchorwomen, etc.), but I was still really nervous. But I loved him! It went very well. He confirmed what I've known since I was 14--I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). I have a ginormous cyst on my right ovary, about the size of a smallish baseball, and my left one is covered in pea to quarter size cysts. These keep me from ovulating. If I weren't trying to get prego, he would have put me on birth control because that cuts off hormones to the ovaries, which would shrink the cysts. But we are, so he put me on Metaformin, a drug for diabetes that for some reason, shrinks cysts. I go back in about 2 weeks for another sono to measure the shrinkage. Other than that, all tests suggest that I should be able to get prego. So keep your fingers crossed for us.
I got a new car...well, new to me. It was Mema's car. My grandfather originally bought it because I had told him that he would love it and it was really what I wanted when I got my Saturn, but it was more than I wanted to spend. He called me after he had driven it one day and said that if I wanted it, I could come get it. So I did. It's a beautiful Chrysler 300C...ohh...they are here!
More later!
