I'm Walking On Sunshine

Well, okay, not sunshine but, at least walking without the brace. Surgery went fine on Friday. I was actually home by 10:30am after an 8am surgery. I tried walking upstairs today with alternating feet but that hurt like heck. So I guess it's still up with the good and down with the bad. Anyways, gotta run to a visit. I'll post more later about something a little more interesting than my foot. Later gaters!!

The Catastrophy Is Almost Over

Well my foot catastrophy is almost over. Tomorrow morning I got into the hospital to get one of six pins taken out. After that I should be able to get out of the brace and walk normally. I am so looking forward to being able to take steps with alternating feet. It's a 45 minute procedure, hour in recovery and then home. Not sure on how long recovery at home is. Wish me luck tomorrow. I'll post more after the pins out!!

The Secret

Ok, so I received a book from a friend; one of those self-help books. A friend of hers told her about this book and said that it changed her life. It's called The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. I've started the book and, well frankly, I don't see what the big secret is about this book. It's all about the power of positive thinking; that if you think positively, positive things will happen. Why is this a big deal? Why is this the "secret" that they are sharing. Who really cares? I'm hoping that this book gets better because as of half-way through it's a big bunch of bull-shit. What I really would like to know is how this person says that this changed her life. It's common sense. I don't know, I just needed to rant. I'm beginning to this self-help books are just a bunch of crap, just stating the obvious. What do you think?

A YEAR IN REVIEW

So with the first of 2008 upon us, it's time to reflect back on the previous blogger year. It was a slow year so I'm hoping that I have enough to say.

January: I finally posted a picture of myself. Not the prettiest of pictures but a picture none the less. I reflected on issues between men and women. It's not enough to say you care, you have to show it. In the end, that issue is what ended my relationship with Toyota Guy.

February: TG and I drove to New York to see a friend of mine who had a valentine baby and stayed with my parents. It was actually a great weekend, except for leaving in the snow panic. My job was going well except for all the school closings. The house was freezing (turns out the radiator was broken) and I got back a big whopping $25 in taxes.

March: I admitted my reality addiction and complained, pathetically, about Sangia still being on American Idol which meant I was out of the pool at work. I, also, complained about the inevitable (not sure what that was about).

April: I told everyone that in June I was going to be leaving a job that I enjoyed but that bored me. I, also, booked my cruise with TG. My brother also moved in with me. He was supposed to be cleaning in lie of rent money. That didn't happen but he was still a pretty good roomie.

May: My birthday sucked. The beginning of the end. I went on a cruise that had a lot of fun.

June: June gave you pictures from the cruise. I had no time to post being crazy busy with tne new job.

July: July, July, July was a depressing month for me. TG and I ended it and I tried to cope with my decision.

August: In August I continued to try to cope and finally prevailed by starting to house hunt.

September: Was all about the new house, the hunting, the bids, the setback and the relief of finally knowing it was all going to be mine.

October. No posts in October but it was a month of high-highs and low-lows. I settled on my first house. Decided to paint for the first time in my life. Got the office done and was almost finished with the master bedroom when boom. I fell on the ladder and broke my ankle. I ended up needing surgery and had a plate and six screws placed in my ankle. I did move into my new house on time.

November: I reported my fall and got a shoe for my cast.

December: In December, I didn't post about it but got my cast off. I got a brace which I currently am wearing. My mother, after eight weeks of living with me, went home and I finally got to live in my new house on my own. I, also, made a resolution to blog every week in 2008.

So that's it. My 2007!! Here's to a great 2008!!!
