I'm am all about respecting our earth, conservation, and promoting recycling. But I am SO sick of hearing about GREEN things! It makes me want to run around turning faucets on and letting them run, throw trash out of my car window, and tripple bag at the grocery store. SO, I'm especially annoyed that NBC is pimpin' it so hard that I can't even think about anything else! Not to mention that they don't ever disclose the fact that they are very connected to GE! Like my hero, Glenn Beck, said "They really should say 'Hey, we are doing green week here so we can shill all of our fancy new green light bulbs. It's almost like we are creating news to sell stuff.'"
Did I mention that I couldn't care less about "Global Warming?" Recent news says that we are in a COOLING trend --Al Bore, I mean, Gore, can inconviently bite me.

**NOTE** This is a rather gross post...sorry.
Went to the Dr. Monday to discover that the baseball sized cyst is back and slightly larger. Just by a cinemeter or so. Still on the rt. ovary. He doubled the amount of Clomid I'm taking this month and I'm feeling a wee bit crazy and nauseous. He said hopefully the increased Clomid will "break through" the cyst. He also said that this is the last month we will try it. So please keep us in your prayers that the Clomid causes me to ovulate this month...because at least that would mean that Mr. Ovary is indeed capable of working. After that, we go on to a even more special fertility specialist.
Today, however, I am going to the podiatrist. TMI, I know, but I have a frickin' infected ingrown toenail that is driving me crazy! I haven't had to have one fixed by a Dr. since I was in 7th grade. I'm sure you are saying to yourself, "I've never had to have one fixed by a Dr...." but for some reason, Matthews' DNA provides us with a rare condition known as RBT Disease. ABT (Abnormal Big Toe) Disease effects my dad (who had his big toenails completely removed), myself, brother Lance, and cousin Misti that I know of for sure. Now, at least once or twice a month I have to dig in the sides of my big toes to make sure that nothing is growing in the wrong direction...and sometimes I go too long and have to "operate" on my own toe to remove something that has. This usually just involves some rubbing alcohol, a metal digger stick, and some nippers. But that has proved insufficent this go round. It started to bother me about 3-4 weeks ago. I dug what I could out and thought that it would heal. But since then, it has just gotten worse...so I thought that I would let it grow until I could really get it...but that hasn't worked. And now it hurts so bad that I can't wear shoes...which I have to do since I work. :). Thankfully, I'm an established patient of Dr. Nicole Hancock's b/c of the plantar fasciitis (which is the other reason I have to wear shoes) and they can see me today. SO there is an end in sight!
Misti is coming this weekend. She hasn't come to see me in a REALLY long time. I'm not sure what we are going to do. But I'm sure that some of it will involve sitting on the back porch talking. Because that's what we do best.

Happy 33rd Birthday Vic!
Mandy, Teri, Leanna, Noel, and I went to dinner w/ Vic at Oishi in Lewisville. It's a Japanese cook-at-the-table place. Mandy was the only one who had been there, but it was really good. The chef was the best one I've ever seen! They even gave him cheesecake and a Makers Mark & coke (his drink of choice) and sang him happy birthday w/ a gong--it was great! Everyone but me went on to Barfly's for a few more drinks, but I have to go to work so I came home. I have a feeling they might call me to come get them, it's all good though :).
Vic had a neurologist appointment today. We still don't know anything. Nothing came back on the blood work, so she took more blood and is referring him to a stroke specialist, whatever that is...a strokologist? It's been suggested that he may have had a stroke when he was born, but I just don't think that is the root of these problems since they didn't start until just the last few years. But whatever, I'm a special ed teacher not a strokologist.
Nancy went to a new beauty shop today, Cut and Fluff in Lake Dallas. She looks so beautiful...she has fancy pink bows in her ears. I will try to take a picture and post it...she's just precious. I really think she liked it there, when I went to get her she was still playing w/ the women in there...usually she is fightin' to get out the door to get home! So dispite the fact that it really smelt like smoke, I think we have found a new groomer.
