Changing Normal

Happy Thursday, everyone!! :) A few things to share today...

First of all, I went to the dr. yesterday...FINALLY!! LOL She told me I have PCOS, a not-so-rare condition in women that some of us are just born with, and it's NOT cancer :) LOL The actual name is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and it just means there are these little cysts (again, NON-cancerous) that mess with my hormones. She said that sometimes the symptoms (all of which I have, and a lot of other things make sense to me, now) wax & wane, sometimes there, sometimes not, kind of thing, and that treatment is dependant on whether we want to get pg. right away or not. She said that if we want to wait a little bit, she'd put me on birth control (regulating my cycles, hormone therapy, that kind of thing), and she said that for someone with PCOS, right after you get off of birth control it's REALLY easy for you to get pregnant because your hormones are all regular & stuff...it just makes us more fertile, I guess. It made sense how she explained it. Anyways, that's the update on that!! LOL

It took me 3 days to type that up there, btw!! I got sidetracked the other day while I was on here, and then had to go to church to help set up for the bazaar & finish getting the house clean for the inlaws. Yes, I said inlaws. They're here, and right now they're watching Cars with Princess. Oh, and bil came... There've already been moments where I've wanted to give him a spanken &/or a time out, but I won't get into it right now. It's really been a blessing for me to have had the bazaar to go to this weekend. I've gotten to visit with them some, but I've had an escaping place, and painting, nonetheless, so it was even relaxing. Tonight, though, we fixed a Thanksgiving dinner, and my bp got up a little bit a couple of times, but whatever. I got to make the mashed potatoes, so it was all good. Actually, if you have a turkey roaster, YUMM-O as Rachel Ray would say!! LOL SO tender & juicy & quicker than the oven...plus, it frees your oven up for other stuff. Speaking of turkeys, I just thought the pic SebbieDue sent out was HILLARIOUS!! Maybe I'll post it...it's kinda weird, and you might feel halfway dirty looking at it!! LOL :)

Anyways, the bazaar was so much fun!! I got to decorate!! Not for Christmas yet, really, but got to decorate for the bazaar. We tried to really bring your eyes down...our multi-purpose room is so huge, it's hard to get that personal/warm feeling into the display, plus, those ladies in charge say that they weren't very good at displaying stuff anyways. So, I had a few ideas, and so did another gal, and we just got to work. We had a pattern, some ladies would get the stuff out of the boxes and set 'em on the table, and me & MilitaryGirl would go around playing with it, tulle & Christmas lights :) We had a good time.

My part of the bazaar is personalized Christmas ornaments. I make 'em while you wait. Friday wasn't very busy, just had a few orders from the ladies at the bazaar, and just a couple from your average passer-by, but today I was BUSY!! One lady wanted 10!! So, I did 10 in an hour. I'll have to take a pic of the one I made Daisy to give you an idea of what I did. It was very easy, and they turned out really cute, I think. I was proud of them. And, it's always neat when people think your talent is good enough to pay money for, and to give as gifts. The lady with the order of 10 was so sweet!! We had a nice chat while she was there & I had a really nice time with her. Most of the others I did, though, were all for church people, but that's cool, too. It's neat to think that I've given a little bit of Christmas to so many this year :) Such a blessing to be a part of so many's holiday :)

Okay, I'd better go. I think they're taking Princess to the potty, and I feel like I should go help...plus, there's some pumpkin pie that's calling my name in the kitchen :)

I'm sorry, I don't care who ya are, that's funny!! LOL
