ok, so I'm back and here's the latest, well my medication is finally doing what it is suppose to be doing and no more nausea. Yeah. But now of course, I am hungy all the time and I think I gained 10 lbs this week. Time to start working out again. I have been very lazy in that area for about a year and I knew it would catch up to me.

I am offically Team Captain for our Relay for Life Team, this is where you stay up night and walk around a track for 12 hours, not by yourself, you have a team of at least 10 people and you each take turns walking around the track. This takes place from 7 at night until 7 in the morning, the reason, because cancer lever sleeps, so I guess we won't.
So expect an email soon inviting you to my Relay for Life web page, yes , I will be asking for money, so don't pretend you didn't know what it was and send it to junk mail.

I managed to recruit 18 people to join me in my walk so no one will have to be on the track by themselves at any given time. They have theme laps where you dress up, last year they had nursery rhymes and someone came as little bo peep and even had real sheep, then there was the Hawaiian lap, PJ lap, my favorite, Gender Bender lap, the usual stuff. I think it will be a blast, it's my first year as a participant and of course, I volunteer to be Team Captain. Go Big or Stay Home. I convinced my boss to match any pledges we get, I don't think he knew what he was getting himself into. Well, it wont actually be his money, it will be Wal-mart's but it's a great way to double our money raised.

Still working on the party. I haven't come right out and said anything to Garry yet, but he has dropped alot of hints about party's and birthday's, other poeples of course, so I am even more convienced he know, so I think, I will not have it on his birthday, but the following weekend. He will be away the Monday and Tuesday so I will be able to do all the planning without him even knowing. I told him the beer was for Easter, when his father comes over, we never have any , so I made sure we wouldn't run out this time. Not sure he bought it yet. Maybe once his birthday comes and goes, and no party, that will teach him not to be so nosy

Hello to everyone in blog land. I finally read some blogs I have been neglecting for some time. I will do better I promise, now that Candice's desktop is up and running and I don't have to fight Garry for the computer. And no he doesn't read the blogs, but I think one of the neighbours ratted us out, all of sudden Garry thinks we should invited the neighbours over Friday, to which I explained that Friday's are not good for me. I work all day and don't want to get home at 4 to clean and get ready for company so I suggested Saturday but that didn't work for him, and I also reminded him that this is Candices two week of nights and I won't be home because I will be picking her up, then we fall into Easter, and so it will be at least three weeks before it's convienient and oh my guess what, it's his birthday, so I think he was fishing , because Grame , two doors down said something . So I think I will just let him in on the Birthday plans, it's alot less work if you don't have to hide anything, it will also explain why all of sudden, when Im not suppose to drink, I'm buying beer, that I dont like.

A BIG GENERIC HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVERYONE I MISSED ALREADY THIS MONTH AND FOR THOSE I WILL PROBERLY FORGET THIS MONTH.

I am really horrible at remembering dates, I have a birthday book to put names and dates is, so if you could send them along for each of you in your family I can add them to the book so I don't forget until I see it on the blogs days later.

If I am lucky enough to have the next one born on my birthday as promised Monica then that one I would never forget.

Till later.

Hello out there in blog land, I'm back. I am happy to be hearing that Candice's picture's have finally arrived to their destinations and that she posted the rest on her blog.
Well the continueing story in my liver problem. So I had the blockage remvoed and that should have been the end of it, but of course it wasn't, so now I get the pleasure of a colonoscopy, yep, there going up there. The doctor gave me anti nausea pills to help with the vomiting, so I am reading the side effects, of course, headaches, cramps, diarrea and oh did I mention VOMITING, wait my anit vomiting pill might make me vomit. "WTF". It would seem that perhaps all my liver troubles is not my liver at all but my stomach, and this mild acid reflux is the culprit. So we will take the pills, do the test, and hope for the best. I am so glad I have good health insurance and lots of sick time from work.
Other than that, everythings good here, Garry turns the big 50 in April, I am trying to throw him a surprise BD party. The neighbours think we should have a theme party but I am just not in the mood. I am hoping the weather allows for a BBQ and so I can just throw everyone in the garage with lots of beer and that would be that. My orginal ideal was just a small formal dinner party for 10, but by the time I got around to telling the last neighbour it grew into a monster. There's still a month to plan so we'll see what turns up.
Candice start working at the Sear's call center tommorrow, part time $10 an hour. The first two weeks of training are Mon-Fri 2.30-9.30 so that will be a little hectic, but after that it's just three or four days a week and she will work the same hours as me so we will travel together. It will keep her busy until she goes back to school in Sept.
That all for now, I will try to do better with the blogging.

Please don't hate me, I know it's been forever, but in all fairness, nothing new or exciting has happened since my last post. I have however finally put Candice's albums in the mail and got her to post a link to all her pictures on her blog.
Garry's uncle Ron died today, Garry is at Aunt Jean Ann's now. There's not much we can do, he had cancer and was sick for some time, so now it's just a matter of waiting for the wake and the funeral which will proberly be Monday or Tuesday of this week.
Mom got home last week, just in time for all this nice weather we are having. My car was completely covered in ice this morning and it took Garry an hour to get it cleaned up and the driveway done. Yes, Garry, you don't think I would be getting up at 5am to do it, did you. Why else have a husband. I will try not to let so much time go by before my next post.
