SHOUT OUT ... Long over due....

Several weeks ago ... April 18th to be exact ... I was named the winner of the CRAZY TOES GIVEAWAY over at Creative Cain Cabin. Dawn is such a sweetie! She has some fun giveaways, tasty recipes, and over all, just a cute little blog.

Here are the nail polishes at my home.

With a cute little note from Dawn. They came in a bright orange box.

Right now, I am spending a lot of time and energy hiding these. I have a teenage daughter who would just LOVE to wrap her toes around these fun colors.

Now that I don't hurt when I bend forward, I will be spiffin' up my toes!

Thanks Dawn!

After 30 ...

They say that after 30 your body takes twice as long to heal.

Well ... I sure hope so!! I mean heal ... and hopefully sooner than that!

The past few days I have been moving slow and feeling achy. Yes, part of it was because of my work and sleep or lack of sleep schedules. But part of it was also because, Saturday at work I fell. I was hurrying, carrying 2 cases and tripped. I fell hard on my left knee and caught my right side on a case.

The only time I have pain in my knee is when I kneel on it .... so don't kneel on it... right!!??

BUT... the upper right side of my body is achy... a little pain when I cough or sneeze. At least nothing is broken, but I feel pretty ... yuck ... pretty stiff. Hopefully, by the end of the week things will be back to normal.

I'm B-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ck!

Did you miss me? You probably didn't even notice that I haven't posted in over a week .... BUT ... that's ok. I understand. It's Spring and you're busy doing stuff that you haven't been able to do in months.

These last two weeks of work have been S-U-P-E-R CRAZY! Working 12 hour days and getting only 5 hours of sleep takes it toll. BUT ... now it's over and I can get on with life.

There is a lot I need to catch up on (30 Day Photo Challenge). Things I want to post on my blog, things I want to do around the house, things I want to do in the garden.

As I have said before ... I did keep up with a few of you this week and was sooooooo tempted to leave comments, but for the sake of time and rational thought I didn't. So look out this coming week ... I may have a lot to say.

Here's to catching up  ... this week!

                   CANCER


17 years ago I had colon cancer. Even though I am cancer free the effects of the treatment still are evident. For the most part I have learned how to control how my body will react to things like diet and stress, but it effects so many of the normal day to day happenings. 


2 of the most evident effects ~
Early  menopause

Lactose intolerance
