Giddy doesn't even cover it folks...

Ok things are good today... I haven't felt like this in so long. It is amazing how one lil' thoughtful thing (ok not so lil') but one thing can make you feel soooo stinkin' good and then reflecting on the rest of the week... well I am blessed.

Let's face it - it's been a long road lately. This week - I had a couple little scarey post-op moments on Thursday (was that really yesterday?) morning (started Wednesday night) but seemed to get better after I rested.
Then the best news...at the post-op appointment Thursday:
BENIGN

Oh music so sweet to mine ears... but seriously it was... I hadn't realized that I've been holding my breath since we originally received the words explaining that I had this growth! But phhhheeew there it all went out after I saw...in black and white... typed across the page...BENIGN - in one big exhale. That is a super long time to hold your breath folks. A realllllly long time!! Apparently my 'growth' was Dr M's "problem polyp"! HA! Well there ya go! So there Dr M! Pfffblll! Teach you for trying to remove it without anesthetic! HA!  I have to grow them bigger and better and most problematic - because heck - that's how I am!! Gotta be unique right??

But then... Thursday after the good news appointment, while I was struggling with a new pattern...ahem (excuse me)... while I was engaging myself in creating a new pattern - my WONNNNNNNDERFUL, super thoughtful, endearing, gorgeous, attentive, caring, husband of the year - Mr Safety Man surprised me with  a gift of one of my dreams...

No folks... not pregnant again (darn) - but another super, awesome thing!!!

 GOT 
        A 
           MAC 
                    BOOK 
                               PRO!!!!!!!
o yeah...doing the cocky happy dance... oh yeah... i'm giddddyyyy... look at meeeeee oh yeahhh!!!!
you may all be jealous... that's ok - really. 
I was once like you.

hehehehehe ok ok ok ok - sorry... just. so. stinkin'. goofy with giddiness (for a change).
It is a nice feeling to have finally again!!! I missed it. And it's not just because I got something... but because my Mr Safety Man thought of me...knew me... worked on this for awhile to help me be happy. To give me some joy...

THANK YOU SWEET Mr Safety Man... I absolutely adore you!!!!

Oh how I have coveted MACs... oh how I have dreamed about owning a MAC!!! And I got one!  Mr Safety man  bought me a "sparkly" (a story for another time)...needless to say it doesn't go around my neck or on my finger... but looks beautifully under my fingers as I type!!! I love my early mommy's day, anniversary, Christmas, & birthday gift!!! hahahahah

Usually when Mr Safety Man gives me an unexpected, HUGE prezzie... I don't know how to handle it well and I call him something that is not so nice. NOT to be mean... it just slips... like when he gave me my first car... after only being together for 4 months... " oh youuuuu... poop - I can't believe you did this"  came from these beautiful lips... not my finest moments... BUT like I said... I don't know how to handle big surprises I guess...

SOooooo yesterday upon receiving this wonderful...dashing... creme de la creme surprise?? I just plain cried. I was actually speechless... (and so was he - he felt sure I was going to call him some bad name again or something...and actually had to make sure I was happy)!! Imagine that?

So I've been playing... and my girls have been playing... and I took my beloved MAC - like a newborn baby  - my 3rd child -  to my resident Apple guru - Amy and we played some more and I soaked in her teachings. And her wonderful friend iTech Mick helped me some more... and I am just soooooooooooooooooo excited... sooooo pumped! And my sweet, Sweetpea made me a Keynote presentation on my beloved MAC (and if I figure out how to post it on my MAC... I will do so soon because it is the sweetest thing EVAHHhhhhhh). I think my MAC has been just as exciting for my girlies as it has been for me. But o dear sweet children of mine- THIS IS MOMMMMY'S and ONLY MOMMY'S MAC... Sorry but I shall not share. And guess what? I don't have to!!!! ;}
          I am in the cool club now folks... 
watch me fly today...it's rather nice up here -i've missed this feeling!!
 wish you were me don'tcha?



 Goofing around with the photo booth application!!!

I LOVE MY NEW MAC!!!!!
Thank you so much my sweet, caring Mr Safety Man!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

How am I doing?

I want to say great! PHYSICALLY - I am feeling a lot better... but emotionally...sigh....
My sister, Cyndi,  is starting to write again. She has gone back to her blog after more than a year off...
She is a wonderful writer/poet. Her words are like how I feel fabric or clay is to me - a way to express ourselves and combined make a masterpiece. I am proud of her for this first step. I read this from my sister and here is my comment to her post. Fair warning... they aren't easy reads. Cynn is using this to help her through our family's terrible tragedy of losing Andrew, her 6yr old twin son. We are all just shells. We are all still trying to find a way to heal. It never goes away. We put on brave faces... We support each other and love each other. We are a resilient family. Yep - I like that choice of word dear, sweet, sister... we walk this road together.
