    I found this a worthy cause in my morning internet workout. For more infomation, visit savethepumpkins.org

  • Thoughts from the Cabin-Fevered

    Daytime TV is only good on pain killers. I actually watched Geraldo today.

    I know I am healing. I know it takes time. I am just so bored. And tired.

    Good night.

  • I Bruise like a Peach.

    Ow.

    My belly button is swollen huge. Purpley reds and yellows. I think my surgeon played a round of golf while he was in there with a nine-iron.

  • Update on Surgery

    Hello friends. This is PinkHairedGirl letting you know that Anne’s surgery went perfectly! The surgery only lasted 30 minutes and she may even be able to go home TODAY!

    Wow… Praise God for keeping our friend Anne safe. I know Anne appreciated your prayers!

    **Edit -Hi, everyone. This is Anne! The surgery was a breeze and I know it is because of all you praying peeps out there. I went under around 10am and was awake at 11:15am, and home a little before 3pm.

    Although I am sore where the incisions are (they made 4 small ones, including one right under my belly button), I am feeling really well and even already ate part of a cookie, which would have sent me in fits normally.

    I can’t tell you how much your prayers and encouraging notes/cards/comments have been for me. I love ya”ll! Also thanks to everyone at Lake Pointe, and Shane and Allen Arnn for coming by the hospital this morning, the phone calls, emails & flowers. And to my parents and brother who risked driving all the way from one side of the metroplex to the other. I love sharing life with all of you!

    Please keep my Scottish friend, James, in your prayers (and his family) – they were the ones who hosted us in Edinburgh and he is actually in the hospital with gall stones and they may be operating on him. It must have been the haggis. If you’d like, drop him a note of prayers.

    Have a great weekend!

  • Pre-Weekend Thought…Amen.

    I am posting my weekend thought a day early since I’ll be quite drugged this weekend. They actually moved my gall bladder surgery to happen at noon 9:30 am Friday (Central Time) instead of the early morning slot I had before. So…prayers are appreciated. For guiding my incredibly young surgeon’s hands, and that my body won’t freak out that it is missing an organ. This week hasn’t been too bad in the pain department up until last night, when I lost some of my self control. I took in about 18g of fat instead of 10g for the day and paid the uncomfortable consequences at bed time.

    As far as the weekend thought…

    WHY PRAY?

    Have a great weekend, and thanks for your prayers.

  • Flashback

    So, I am reverting to my 1995 ways and falling in love with instant messaging again. Since I have iChat at work, and can’t afford a .mac account (well, I can’t justify the expense), I am pretty much an AIM user. So, I’d love to get your screen name if you also an AIM person. If you use Yahoo or MSN, go ahead and leave your screen name…Don’t worry, I’m not an obsessive IMer. But I figure let’s expand the blogosphere a little more!

    Add Me…Say Hi!

  • Weekend Thought…Fleeting

    (Thanks, Deana).

  • Bye-Bye, Bladdy!

    So, after a few doctors appointments, I finally have an answer. If you’ve been reading for over the last year, you’ll know my gall bladder has been freaky. So, all of the pain and stuff I’ve been experiencing is because he decided to wig out on me again. This time I fight back.

    Next Friday, October 20, at 6am, I will be saying goodbye to my gallbladder (whom I have affectionately named “Bladdy”). And I am thinking, for those of you in the DFW area, what could be more fun than a going away party for my gallbladder? So Thursday, October 19 at 8pm, we are going to have a “Bye Bye Bladdy” party at the newest and best cafe in Rockwall, Texas Roast. Please RSVP here or shoot me an email. Woohoo for gallbladder parties!

    Prayers of course are appreciated. If you’re a need-to-know kind of person, read here to see what they’ll be doing.

  • Slice and Dice

    Not to worry, but I’ve been having some girl issues over the last few days that will probably require some surgery. I am supposed to find out today. I know it sounds weird, but if you can pray that they can do the surgery sooner than later that would be great. It has been a two year battle which I have never given into the surgery, but it’s to the point where surgery would be a relief. If you’ve emailed in the last couple of days and I’ve not responded, please forgive me. I haven’t spent a lot of time at the computer and probably won’t for the next few days. I’ll update when I know more. Thanks for your prayers.
