It was almost a year ago that I had my surgery to have this catheter placed in my abdomen. That means it has almost been a year since I have started doing dialysis. While I am glad I don't have to go to a clinic 3x week, I am tired of doing exchanges 4x day. I am thankful overall though that I can do dialysis and stay alive. Now I am just waiting for a kidney - thank goodness for call center services!!
Did you guys have a good Thanksgiving? We did! I had my entire side of the family over and with my family, that made about 19 people. It was a full house but thankfully we had enough room for everyone. There was lots of good food and I got lots of compliments on my turkey which surprised me because not everyone in my family is crazy about turkey but they commented on how it was exceptionally good. Whatever the reason, I am glad. Before I sign off this time I would like to give a shout out for lamb motor. You know you might want to check them out if you have vacuuming needs this Christmas!
Well it looks like the Christmas season is in full swing now! I just ordered my first gifts of the season. I am glad to have finally made a start! We have decided on a large gift to get the boys to share and then finding some smaller presents for stocking stuffers shouldn't be any problem. Maybe some promotional items would be good in their stockings! I can't believe we are this close to Christmas!
What is the best slimming pill available? Follow this link to find out. This is the right time of the year to be thinking about slimming down. Or is it the wrong time of the year? LOL I think it depends on who you ask. It's a good time of the year to be careful though with all the extra goodies and foods available. I keep threatening to start an exercise program and I may just surprise everyone and do it! I'm not getting any thinner!
You wouldn't think this would be the time of the year for people to think about vacations (such as Outer Banks vacation homes) but I think it is the *perfect* time of the year. The holidays tend to get quite crazy - wouldn't it be nice to forget about it all and just spend that time away with your family? I guess it would have its own set of worries but oh my wouldn't it be nice?
It's getting cold around here and I just know I would love one of those Amish fireplaces. Have you seen them? They are sooo beautiful. I am cold all the time now and I know I would love to be able to just sit in front of a fireplace and soak in the heat. It's one of those dreams that you love to have - you know like owning a hot tub, living by the ocean...and having a fireplace! Check these out, they are so wonderful - I really want one!
Have you made one? I have a feeling that this is going to be a homemade Christmas for me. I did a lot of crocheting last year so I will have to think of something different to do this year. I have been collecting Amazon gift cards from Swagbucks to buy Christmas gifts from too. I am just hoping that things come together nicely and I hope no one asks for a Garmin GPS because as nice as it is, I don't think that is within my budget! Wouldn't you love a GPS? I would!
If you could have any franchise opportunity you wanted, what would you choose? Well obviously McDonald's makes a ton of money but I don't know if that would be the one for me. I would want something a little more healthy. I really like Chick Fil A and think it would be a good opportunity but I think I would pick something other than food. How about Barnes and Noble? Oh, I know - Starbucks! or a combination of both of them! It's all a dream for me though.
I have the weirdest addiction ever! I like to crunch on Sugar Free Ice Breakers mints. Preferably cool mint or wintergreen. If I can't find them, Altoids will do in a pinch. What I do is put one in my mouth and bite off a little piece of the mint. I then take the little piece and crunch it between my front teeth into tiny little pieces. When it is gone, I start all over again. It's weird, I know. Weirder than term life insurance quotes. My mom says it is a dialysis thing and she used to crunch Sonic ice. She says she hasn't done that since her kidney transplant. I need to switch to ice - it is a cheaper hobby than the mints for sure!
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Have you ever heard that saying? That alone makes me want to stay as far away from Vegas as I can get, LOL!! Still, if you are looking for las vegas deals, be sure to check out this link and if you go to Vegas - be safe!
I would love to take a vacation right about now. Somewhere nice and sunny but not hot. Somewhere I could have some alone time but not be totally alone - I still want to be with my family.

The first night after Daylight Savings Time is sooo long! It seems so late right now but it is only 7:30. I am ready to put everyone to bed and go to sleep myself but I still have an exchange to do.
This week promises to be beautiful and full of sunshine, even though it will be a bit on the chilly side! I can't wait - I am so tired of all the rain that we have been having.
