Did you know my brother is in a band?

Did you know my brother is in a band? Did you know his band is very active in the Reno community and very active in raising money for charities?

Hannah-ism

In case you don't follow me on Twitter, which is fine if you don't, but just in case you missed this, I thought I'd share:

"Why do the friends call the cat Pete?"
"What friends?"
"Pete's friends."
"Who?"
"The one named Pete."
"I'm not sure where we go from here."

Post-Op update (late)

I'm doing OK. I'm sore and tired but moving around a bit more today than yesterday. I'm starting to get an appetite but food still causes some queasiness so I had cream of wheat for dinner tonight. Yay. I hope I can eat ribs before the weekend is through. I have my follow up appointment next Thursday.

Nerves

I'm trying not to be nervous about my little surgery tomorrow morning, but it's hard not to be. I know that doctors these days are such experts at what they do and I'm supposed to be able to go home tomorrow afternoon. They said it should only take about a week to recover. It's just that they are still going to cut open my body to remove something and then sew me back up. It's a little unnerving. I'm cool, though. I'll be fine.

It's a strange turn of events that makes me a little grateful for the technology that we have in this day and age. It's a little bit of looking on the bright side of things as well. Last year, I had a miscarriage. I had another one last month and that's when they found the cyst. Since there wasn't a cyst on my ovary last year when they took the ultrasound pictures at the hospital, it's a probability that I've developed this thing in the last year. It's fairly large. The doctor made a circle shape with his index finger and thumb but didn't close the circle. That's larger than a golf ball, if you ask me. Because I can't feel this thing (no nerve endings on the ovaries, don't you know) it could have continued to grow and become problematic. But because I was pregnant they did early ultrasounds and found it. It doesn't look malignant on the ultrasounds and I'm sure they'll take a look at it to make sure, but it could have been and I wouldn't have known.

I'll try to post later tomorrow or Thursday to let you all know how it went. In the meantime, my husband may tweet about it: http://twitter.com/indeeart.

Serendipity and salutations.

Update on our little expirement

Do you remember that tomato that had seeds sprouting right inside it? Remember that we stuck the whole tomato in some dirt in a pot and watered it? We promised you a follow up and guess what- it sprouted!

Where did that chocolate bunny go? (cross-post)

I think it means we're doing something right by Hannah (and ourselves) that we haven't gone through all of the Easter candy yet. What was left of that big ol' choco-bunny was getting in my way, though, so I slapped some melted marshmallows between two graham crackers and dipped them in Mr. Bunny that I melted along with an extra Hershey's bar I had in the fridge. Yum, yum, yum, S'mores!
The best reduce, reuse, recycle idea I've had in a long time, if I do say so myself.
