Race for a Cure June 9, 2008

This weekend my Husband and I had the chance to participate in Little Big Town’s Race for Cure.  The annual motorcycle ride to raise money for cancer research.  We had a blast.  We were fortunate enough to have VIP passes so we were able to mingle with the stars.  There were several new comers there along with Lonestar, Little Big Town and Darryl Worley.  Darryl is the most down to earth guy, he rode a beautiful bike.

There were probably close to 600 hundred bikes participating then at the end of the ride we were treated to lunch, and a concert by all the artist involved.

 This was a great thing for a great cause that I hold dearly to my heart.  Cancer kills so many people every year and personnally there are two of my family members that are or have been fighting the disease for some time.  I couldn’t possibly pass up this chance to help with such a worthy cause.

Its a new day May 16, 2008

Today I am all healed up and ready to go.  After having possibly the worst month of my life, I came to the realization that it isn’t that bad.  Looking at what has happened in China and Burma, it saddens me deeply to see all those people in dispare.  I don’t think that I could stand there and watch them pull children from that school in China.  My pain is nothing compared to those who lost their only child or both parents.  The saddest part is that I heard another storm is heading toward Burma.

And all this time I have been complaining about a fractured jaw and the kidney stones that followed.  I usually keep my thoughts on the world to myself, because I grew up in the type of family were there are two things you don’t discuss and they were politics and religion, it was just rude.  But of course we went to church in our Sunday best with shiny shoes on and we always had on a hat. 

I miss those days….  Those were the times when I didn’t realize that there was so much difference and hate in the world.  I was just a small southern girl, who got all dressed up.

I finally got my results back and thank goodness they came back with no cancer.  I have to go get checked in 6 months.  I am relieved to say the least.  ahhhhhh

Oh Me…. March 19, 2008

This week as sucked and its just now half way over. 

Let’s start by saying that I have had a tooth ache for awhile now.  But I am one of those people who would rather have a hot poker shoved her @$$ than go to the dentist.  Well the pain got bad enough that I knew I needed to go.  So I called and they had an open appointment that day (of course they would).  I knew it was a wisdom tooth, it has been there for a long time and always bothered me.  So after x-rays he tells me it needs to come out… and the tooth in front of it has to go also.  Apparently, the wisdom tooth was putting so much pressue on the other tooth that it caused the tooth to break on the bottom by my gum line.  Needless to say I was not a happy camper, but I took it in my grand as always fashion (I called the husband and wined like a baby). 

As of today I am two teeth shorter with a swollen face.  What a grand week.
