Dating. Virtual, or virtually Impossible?

Boy, has the dating world changed since I last dated! No longer do you have to see someone in person, or get 'lined-up' by a friend who knows you, to make a date...you can just go online and keyboard in your preferences and you will have a whole list of people to choose from....from just about anywhere (and I mean ANYWHERE) in the world! Not that the technology is any big surprise to me, it's just the immediacy (is that a word?) of meeting people. Or if you choose, to NOT meet them. You don't have to turn anyone down face to face. There is a plethora of SWM to choose from. And by the same token, a plethora of SWF to choose from if you are a man in search of a woman. So how does one get 'noticed' floating out there in the sea of beautiful competition? I'm going to give this some thought. I'll get back to you on it.

-Short Post-

Today is a happy Friday. My dear friend is coming home and we'll get to spend some much needed catch-up time together!

Proceedure...DONE!

Yippee!! It's over! Done! Finito! I won't have to worry about doing that thing again for another 5 years! Actually, the colonoscopy itself wasn't that bad. I mean, I was out of it with the sleepy juice they put in my IV. Also, they added something for the nausea I was experiencing. All in all, two days of discomfort is nothing compared to the ravaging effects that colon cancer has on your body...on your life...when it goes undetected. And having seen what my mom went thru when she was dying with colon cancer at the same age I am now, I NEVER want to experience that, nor put my family through the torture. So. I'm taking this opportunity to start eating a little better, and exercising a little more. I feel good. I'm going to bed now. Good night.

The cleanse...cont.

I will never drink anything ever again...at least not anything with strawberry/guava flavoring! I'm having a really hard time drinking the water I need to so I don't get dehydrated. Why am I being such a boob?? I'm really nauseated right now. I would really like to just go to sleep....I'm afraid to...
Well I did go to sleep. At least I think I did...it was a very unsettled nights sleep. And I had really weird dreams. Mail dreams where I delivered a puppy to the wrong address, couldn't get my mail delivered,etc. Also I dreamed that I was locked in someones backyard and instead of a guard dog, there was a lion. ...See? Weird!
I'm still nauseated and my head is killing me, but I can't take anything for my headache yet. But I'm as empty as I've been in years!

The cleanse starts today...yuck.

Ok I know I'm a big baby, but I hate drinking stuff that I THINK might be gross. I start my cleanse today for my colonoscopy tomorrow. Isn't there an easier way?? I'm mixing the nasty powder with strawberry guava water. It's carbonated and I don't drink pop, so I hope I can down this stuff. I didn't really want to drink anything that I really like because I'm afraid I won't ever want to drink it again!

I just drank (is drank a real word??) a bottle of that nasty stuff. Not good. >keep the end (no pun intended) in mind, Kathy< Only three more bottles to go, in an hour and 40 minutes..OIY!

~Dinna with the Sib's~

These are four of my six siblings. We got together for dinner at Timbermine last week. From left to right, we are youngest to oldest- DeeDee, Greg (he only LOOKs cranky) me, Grant, Debbie. The two siblings who are missing between Grant and Deb are (only child) Judy, and Gordy (he lives in Norfolk). It was so much fun! I have very funny brothers and sisters!

So yesterday I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and give my little "yard" some much needed TLC. I raked out weeds, pieces of plastic planter, a sacrament program, a receipt, a spent bottle rocket and all manner of decay. It almost looks like I DID something out there. I chopped down things that looked dead, but probably are just in their dorment season. Lot's of stuff that was way overgrown and just annoying me. I pulled weeds. Lots and lots of weeds. I like pulling weeds, it's theraputic. In fact I'll bet that some of the weeds I pulled weren't even weeds...but it felt good anyway! My landlord gave me full rein over my area, so I'm pretty sure he won't object to anything I've done. He even gave me a key to his shed and told me I could borrow anything out there that I wanted. The person who "landscaped" before me must have gone to the nursery and bought some of everything in the ground cover dept., as well as every kind of lava rock, bark, stone, brick edging, and planter. There is no rhyme or reason to what is out there. Kinda funny, but I feel like posting a sign that reads "I didn't landscape this place". Aside from the spider dangling from my hair, the dried lavender down my sweaty butt crack, and not enough room in the garbage can to put all my clippings, I loved my time working out there!
