Surgery:
Nothing like a little piece of placenta being left behind after the birth. I know, I can be a bundle of TMI. Love me anyway. I got that taken care of today and I’m all cozy on the couch with lovely pain meds to bring in the new year. So, one surgery down, and possibly one more to go. Hopefully I will meet with a general surgeon next week and we can get down to business with the gallbladder situation. Being 30 rocks.
Reality TV:
I watched The City. I loved it and I never wanted it to end. It made me so happy. I just hope Whitney doesn’t become ruined by having her own show the way Lauren did.
Lauren just seems less sweet now then she did on the Laguna days. Aw, the Laguna days…
I miss Rachel Zoe and Tori & Dean. Oh, speaking of Tori & Dean…I read her book. sTORI Telling
Woah Nellie. It was super easy reading, but I felt like she wrote it to spill the beans on her mom (loved that part) as well as to justify her and Dean cheating on their spouses the first night they met. I’m torn. I love them. I think they’re funny and totally adorable together. But, I hate divorce. Hate cheating. And my heart breaks for Dean’s kids. So, eh, I’m on the fence with the book. Also, did you know Tori totally had some serious OCD issues??? She says marrying Dean fixed it. Huh.

Real Housewives: Not loving Vickie. She is retarded. I like the new girl with the old man fiance. She seems real. A real housewife. ha.
I need a life. I do. I’m sad.
Blogging:
I realize that I’m not so good at being tagged. I get all excited, and then the next day I forget to do whatever it is I’m supposed to do. When I finally do remember, I then have forgotten who tagged me. I know I’m supposed to post pictures from a folder from Trish. In fact, I will do that now. 4th Folder, 4th Picture:
This is Taylor checking out the animals at The Wild Animal Park. He was turning away from me because he didn’t want his picture taken. Which was just fine, because I like the non posed look anyway. Well, except when I’m in it, of course.
I’m also not great at comments. But, if I’m following your blog, then please know I am a faithful reader. And I love it because I am still following. I even, believe it or not, have gone back and read all the way from the beginning of most of the blogs I read. Yes, I’m that faithful.
Shopping:
I’m having an unhealthy addiction to shopping. I don’t even need anything. It’s pure lust, want and desire. I love my new boots, and my new purse.
And I’m thinking of adding this:
or this:
to my collection. I mean, I deserve it, right? I just birthed a baby, had anxiety, surgery, and maybe another surgery….There’s got to be a consolation prize in there somewhere, right?
Speaking of Anxiety:
I’m better. I’m me again. But, I learned something this time, as I do every time it hits me. I just wrote this in an email to Betty, but as much as I hate the feeling for myself, I hate it more because I don’t want it to touch my kids. But, what I am figuring out is that I can make it a positive thing, in that each time it hits, it causes me to look at my life and make some really good changes. That has to leave a good mark on them, right? 😉
I also keep a journal for each one of my kids, and I’m going to take the time to write out what it is that I deal with and how it has nothing to do with them or my love for them. How really, it’s not something I can even help. That it is like diabetes or a cancer of the mind type thing, it’s perfectly okay if it needs medicine and treatment just as any sickness or illness would. And I especially want them to know that it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I want them to understand that I am human, but that I am not letting the trials take over my life or my joy. I want to teach them that yes, life sucks sometimes, but it can be made better just by the way you handle it and decide to look at it. And just in case should they inherit any of it, it won’t be taboo. They will know they are still okay. Still amazing, and still loved.
I will never wallow in this. I will never accept defeat. I am much too determined to be beaten down.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. I am woman, hear me roar.

Happy New Year!
I watched Whitney’s new show last night too and loved it.
My hubby has anxiety and acupuncture helps him a ton. Something to do with the kidney overfunctioning which causes the mind to overfunction and try to process too many thoughts. She sticks a pin in designated for the kidney function and *Bam*, fixes him up.
I miss Rachel Zoe too! That show definitely needs to come back for a second season.
For some reason, Dean bothered me this last season on Tori and Dean. He seemed kind of jerky.
That is a wonderful idea about the journals. I will have to keep that in mind, if I ever get off the computer.
Have a great 2009!
Have fun on the couch! The upside is, you don’t have to move and people will (or they’re supposed to at least) cater to your every need. Haha, for your sake I hope they do!
I love the purses! I think you deserve a present..I believe it’s called a “pain” present.
How cute are you in your pic there!! Rawr!
I have major anxiety too. So I know what you’re going through.
Happy New Year!
You sound so much better! Glad to hear it…and just in time to start 2009 off right!
We have annual passes to the WAP. I’ll let you know next time we’re down that way, and maybe we can take all the kids to see the monkeys! haha!
I am so happy to have found you because I’m reality addicted and I appreciate anyone else who watches it! If you mentioned three shows in this post, you’ve got to be addicted and that’s alright by me.
How did I possibly miss Whitney’s new show? I’m going to have to catch up and fast. I thought it would be dumb because she’s sooooo valley girl and it pains me to hear her speak but I’m glad it’s worth tuning in for.
Happy New Year!
Oh wait, you mentioned FOUR shows in the post and I like all of them. This means I like you. 😉
Love the shows you mentioned…but you already knew that!!

We have GOT to talk soon! Sooo much to catch up on, it’s crazy… Know I think of you all the time though and miss you TONS!!! Love you!!! 🙂
Happy New Year… what a way to start it off! Hope you get all the medical stuff behind you soon!
You crack me up with your pop culture commentary and then you go and get all serious .. .but I love it because that is how people are.
And I love how you get excited about being tagged and then forget about it.
You are wonderful! Happy 2009!

If not, I still love you and your addiction to reality tv. I am so there with you.
