I am feeling almost normal again after my gall bladder removal..10 days today!
I have been on some serious drugs so if I have visited your blog or your face book page and sounded really stupid and couldn't spell; I apologize...it is embarrassing!
Thank you to our amazing host for Friday Fragments, Mrs. 4444 over at Half Past Kissin Time. You can find her here:www.halfpastkissintime.com
Also the gorgeous Java over at Never Growing Old, if you are an over 40 blogger you will find many friends here:nevergrowingold.blogspot.com
So it is starting to get down right chilly in the Philly burbs...I do not like the cold..however did any of you catch our Eagles um I guess beat down the Redskins?
Only in Philadelphia can we take a convicted dog killer and make him a star. We are all saying things like he did his time; he's changed; he deserves another chance...okay I'm buying into it..the guy is a damn good football player...bring on the Giants!!
And while we are on sports..congrats to our very own Doc Halladay!!!
My husband surprised me today by getting my new office painted while I was at work today..I love that man..he just gets me and he knows how badly I need this new creative space..I am only obligated to finish 2 more books in 2 months. No problem seriously they are just about done I just must love to pile pressure on myself! (hopefully by next week I will have before and after photo's :)
I have 3 prizes from my contest in my car; they are coming I swear...my gut hurts too bad to stand in line at the post office...maybe I should send my amazing husband. .to the post office...I will! Only 20 more to reach my goal..for every 10 new followers I will randomly pick a winner from all followers...just for following...Thank you; all of you xxxooo
I am about to bust with amazing book news and you all here on this blog will be the first to know; before anyone...I am a bit overwhelmed with so much happening at once...I need to just breathe..and realize..I did it..finally..almost!
I am making reservations to take Morgan who will be 8 and Julia who is turning 11 to American Girl for their birthdays...I am so excited!
I wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving- We will be spending the day with most of the kids and grand kids; I miss them so much :(
If you remember this past summer my step son Michael was in a terrible motorcycle crash. It was touch and go for a long time. If you are the praying type please send a few his way, he is not doing well and we are really worried...
I am so thankful for each and everyone of you. I can always count on reading just the right comment I need to hear at the right time. A big virtual hug for all of you (((HUGS)))!!

Thanks for the recommendation for the over 40 blog. I'm going to check it out.
ReplyDeleteMy husband had his gallbladder removed over a year ago. It's hard at first, but it's been so much better. Be prepared to be by a bathroom every time you eat for about 6 months. ha.
My daughter has been to the American Girl store a couple of times (the one in Dallas) and loves it.
I'm sorry to hear about your stepson. I truly hate motorcycles. My stepbrother was in a horrible accident four years ago and he is still suffering from it.
My sister-in-law, in a seperate accident almost lost her leg. She ended up with a broken back and was in the hospital for three months.
I just don't see why anyone would want to ride one now. It's just too dangerous out there.
I hope you have a nice weekend. =)
Funny, I talked about gallbladders on my FF post today -- oh that's right, I saw your comment LOL I have a very short memory. Congrats on the successful removal.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about the book news!

I had my removed in 2007. I had an attack at the same time of having kidney stones attack. Oh that was horrible! Anyway, hope you are feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to your news and boy, it is nice to have great hubbies!
Thanks for coming by and reading my blog.

Doreen - You're an amazing woman and so inspirational! I so love to read about people who are following their dream. And the part about the homeless woman sure warmed my heart.
ReplyDeleteI'm following you now from India.
Hope you recover from your surgery soon.
That's nice you give stuff for every 10 new followers. I don't put that much emphasis on followers because I know I don't regularly have time to read all the blogs I follow. It's nice to have followers, don't get me wrong, but I know not all my followers actually read my blog every day. I tend to put more emphasis on the blogrolls. I go through my blog roll practically every day.
ReplyDeleteLove those helpful husbands! Painting a room is a real labor of love! Bless his heart.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are recovering quickly. I feel like I'm wayyyyyy behind, now that all the Christmas advertising is on Tv. And I don't really hanker to walk around in stores, either. Thanks for the internet and catalog shopping!
Hope you are feeling better soon. I can hardly wait to find out what your book news is. And I will say a prayer for Michael. Sorry to hear he is not doing well.
ReplyDeleteI bounced over from the over 40 friday hop and was blown away by your blog. You are incredible. I wish you every speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteSmall world, Doreen! I grew up in Clifton Heights and now live in Pottstown! Thanks for the comment on my blog. I'm now your newest follower and will definitely purchase your book when it's published.
ReplyDeleteGood morning... That's my blog buddy Joannie up above me... I met her in person when she stopped in Walgreens to see me! Back to my regularly scheduled comment!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better after your surgery.
It is chilly in the burbs. I have to remember to grab my jacket when I let the dog out in the morning!
That was some AwESOME beat down. I really think Vick has turned himself around. What he was involved in was deplorable, but I really think he has turned himself around and is growing as a person. I was glad to see the NFL commissioner acknowledge his changes and growth. I hated to see McNabb go.... but maybe in the end, it will be the best thing for all! Sending prayers your way for you and Michael.
I'm glad you're recovering from your surgery. I hope it continues to go well!
ReplyDeleteGo Eagles! I like Andy Reid. I'm not a fan of Mr. Dog Abuser but he is a very good player and I think he is remorseful and sorry for what he did.
I look forward to hearing your book news.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Love the pups! So cute. And you DO have a special husband! That is so cool about your office!
ReplyDeleteBeen there with the gallbladder! Hang in there, it will pass and you'll be totally yourself again soon.
Your husband is a gem! How sweet of him to paint!
ReplyDeleteIm sorry that your step son is not doing well. I hope he recovers soon!
Good luck on all of your projects.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy recovery time. Good luck with your soon to be published book.
ReplyDeleteYour husband sounds like a wonderful person, which means you are too because I am absolutely sure that you deserve him.
ReplyDeleteGallbladder surgery {or any surgery for that matter} is no fun to recover from! What would we do without our sweet hubbies??? I'm definitely praying for your son!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words you left on my blog today!! :)
