These are fading a little bit, but hey, you get the idea. At least these aren't painful - just my mouth is! Here's to hoping I heal fast.
Vieve's Place...Enjoy Your Visit

I Bruise Easily!
I got surgery a few days ago - Friday to be exact. Unfortunately for me, the surgery didn't go as well as it could have. My IV failed during the surgery ... 4 times in different locations. Because of how that went, I have many bruises on my arms/hands from the procedure. I finally got a picture tonight, to commemorate.

Gentlemen prefer blondes? Oh, I'm putting that to the test.
All right, I know that everyone has exciting lives, and they blog quite often about their exciting adventures, but I have none of these. But instead of taking my things and making them separate entries, (which would take time and energy...) I have decided to just shove it all together, and do the highlights.
I have before lamented about hair stylists. I know that they have a very tough job, and that they have to do what people tell them, but holy crap why can't they just do what I tell them?! I tell my gal over the weekend to just cut off like a little bit, to get rid of the dead, and she ends up cutting off a bunch, then decides (of her own free will) to just cut the right side of hair all willy-nilly. Like I'm doing nothing with that hair? It's fine if that side is just bald? And for those of you who haven't seen me yet (is there such a person reading this?) I have gone back to blonde! It's a slow process, going from dark to blonde, but I'm in the middle. I'm still getting used to it, and so far, it's a fun, cute color, but I'm just getting used to it being light up there. But it'll be better! Pretty soon, I won't do the double take when I look at it.
This past Sunday, we had a family fiesta. After the fiesta, (I'm using fiesta because we made Mexican food. Delicioso!) we were cleaning up the kitchen when I hopped off the counter. I placed my hand on the oven...well, I thought it was the oven. Turns out, it was the oven handle, and when I put my hand on it and (simultaneously jumped down) the oven door opened, and I slammed into that with my leg. I now have a bruise the size of my cell phone on my leg, and it hurts when I walk. And bump into it. And lay on it. Or sit slightly wrong. To make the point clear, it just hurts. But I'm pretty sure I didn't break the oven door, so that's a victory in itself.
I have done something I didn't think I'd ever do. I have canceled my Netflix account. I love Netflix, don't get me wrong, but I just don't have time for it anymore! I have my 100 hours of Tivo that I do every week (ok, it's not that much...almost) and I have the movies that I (inexplicably!) keep borrowing from people. I have 2 Netflix movies that I've had for a month, just sitting here, unwatched, so I sent them back and just canceled it out. This makes me feel a whirl of emotions. I'm happy to get rid of the pressure of 2 movies always sitting there (yes, I feel a pressure from inanimate objects) and them taunting me every day I don't watch them. There is a load lifted from my shoulders. But I'm also sad-I love Netflix. Getting a surprise DVD in the mail every few days (when I actually have time) was so great! A little gift for me in the mail-and I do love surprises in the mail. But as soon as I get through TV season, I might try reactivating it, to see if I have the time to watch now. But even if I don't, I'll still hold my Tivo close to my heart.
In retrospect, I totally could have made three entries out of these things, but whatevs. I'm good with combining these all-and who knows, maybe I'll have more stuff happen, and actually write a few blog entries in a week!
