Ignorance is not always bliss...

First of all, I would like to thank those of you who told me about the coffee mugs. ;) The funny thing is, almost as soon as I asked the question, I got an e-mail saying I got one! I was shocked and then saw that it was because I commented on other blogs. How cool! :) Next line of business... can someone please tell me how to put photos on my pages? I don't see an upload button anywhere when I am posting, so hope I don't sound too ignorant! ;oP I have to say that I am really enjoying this site. I finally found someplace (online) that I feel I fit in, can talk about what's on my mind and am still accepted for who I am without a bunch of bashing and ridicule. That really means a lot to me, so thanks to all of you for making me feel welcome here. :) (((Hugs)))

Remember me?

I feel like I am never going to get anywhere with getting to know people here. My life has been crazy madness and my depression has been getting the best of me, along with my anxiety.

I am scheduled for surgery in the very near future and I totally do NOT want to go through with it.

I HATE needles (although bloodwork doesn't bother me, go figure!) and I LOATH the idea of being under anesthesia and having no clue of what is going on around me.

Any of you feel that way?

Have any of you had any surgeries? If so, were you scared, nervous or calm?

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

P.S. In visiting some of your blogs, I have noticed that some of you have little coffee cups on the side of your pages... what are they for? I want some! LOL! ;oP

Paper or plastic?

I'm not talking about the famous question asked at supermarkets nowadays. I'm talking about journalling. :)

When talking about your deepest, darkest, most personal thoughts, do you prefer the good old-fashioned paper and ink journals, or the modern way of going online and typing your thoughts out for an audience (or yourself, if your journal is private?)

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of online journalling, as opposed to paper and pen?

Do you tend to hold back in your online journal for fear of ridicule or criticism? How about your paper journal? Do you hold back for fear of someone finding it and reading it, or do you just let it all out?

I'd love to hear all of your thoughts and views on this subject! :)

Television Therapy

So, now that I am finally somewhat rested up from last Saturday's ordeal, I think I can write here again. ;oP I don't really have anything exciting to write about at this time, but I didn't want to stay away too long and make people wonder where I am.

Since I am here, maybe I will get a topic of discussion going. I have been watching a lot of tv lately to try and lighten my mood. The show I seem to navigate towards the most is "The Golden Girls."

What show do you like to watch when you want to get rid of the "blahs?"

Migraines, Sunburns & Bad Dogs, Oh My!

I apologize for taking so long to make a decent post. Things have been quite hectic around this place.

So anyway... yesterday we picked up my Mom and took her around to a bunch of yard sales. The town I live in was having their annual community day celebration and everyone got together to have sales. They also had a BBQ, a parade, and fireworks, but we didn't go to those.

Why?

Well, the sun and I just do NOT get along! I ended up getting a migraine about 3 quarters of the way through. Plus my feet & back were KILLING me, because 1.) I fell last week and hurt my back, and 2.) I wore flip-flops instead of sneakers to do all of that walking in!  I stuck it out, though, because my Mom never gets to go out to sales like that very often and I just didn't have the heart to ruin her fun.

Yadda, yadda... we stopped at the grocery store on the way back to her place and got some sandwiches for lunch. My head was still hurting after we ate, (did I mention that my feet were KILLING me?) so I went and took a nap for about an hour.

When I woke up and walked into the living room, they were all looking at me and going; "You got burned!" Loverly. I have very pale, very sensitive skin, so a sunburn isn't something I want, believe me!

So here I am, fighting a migraine, back and feet killing me, looking like a lobster, and feeling totally "blah," when I decide that I should probably go home and check on our dog and cat, as it was VERY hot yesterday and they were at home alone.

I get home and I take the dog outside, feed her and the indoor cat, and head outside again to feed the outdoor cat.

Quicker than lighting, the dog darts out the door and takes off on a dead run. Talk about major panic! (We live near a high-traffic road!)

Now I am fighting a migraine, back and feet killing me, looking like a lobster, feeling totally blah, and yelling/chasing after a dog with a big ol' bag of cat food in my hand!

Let me tell you... this dog can run... FAST! Half the neighborhood was trying to help me catch her, and I was getting closer and closer to a total meltdown.

She ran all up and down this street and the two streets on both sides of us and then over to the creek, before she FINALLY came back to me! And the whole time she was running, I could swear she was laughing her ass off! You could just see the "ha-ha, you can't catch me" expression on her face!

So yeah... that was my day yesterday... I should have stayed in bed.

Welcome to PNN!

Hello, everyone. I am new to this site, but not to blogging. I will post something more interesting when I am not so tired. ;)
