They Call Me Cry Baby…
Sure, for a baby it’s ok to cry when they’re hungry or poopy, but when I do it, everyone at WalMart walks the other way… what’s up with that?
Anybody associated with me knows a few things of certainty about this girl… I got a mouth on me, and I cry… alot! Not sorry though!
I am definitely a very affectionate and tender hearted Wolverine/Loud Mouth Frog! Here is the problem with this… it gets uncomfortable to be around someone who is always leaking from their eyes.
If I could do less of something it would be all the blubbering… not the crying, just all the outward leaking. I love who I am, love my emotion and my passion! I think that maybe I just need like a Cry Baby Bodyguard.
It would be awful nice to have another nearby at all times, with tissue in hand, and a resting ***** face that might sober my boo hooing at any given moment.
Besides, the question only asked what I COULD do less of… not what I WILL do less of… I think it would actually take away from who I am.
I don’t wish to be devoid of emotions God placed within this vessel upon my creation… I need to learn to use them for His purposes! This teary side of me is one of the most beautiful gifts I could have been given.
I can feel… I can heal… I can care… I can share… I can forgive… I can love… and I can Live!
I guess your just stuck with me as I am!

What are the odds that I could have cataract surgery WITHOUT the lasik assist, and still come out sporting 20/20 vision in both eyes? Whatever the odds were… God beat em!
When they did my post op yesterday, I scored perfect vision in under 24 hours from surgery! While I am still sore, quite sensitive to lights, and continuing to adjust to using both eyes at the same time… I am sitting here writing to you without any glasses at all!
I CAN SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colors are amazing! I had forgotten while in the darkness…
People went from this…
To this…
Y’all are beautiful!!!!

Am I Nuts…
Take Me Back…
Quite honestly, there isn’t a single cartoon of late that I would take the time to watch.
Were I to think of any cartoon worth mentioning, it would have to come from the past… that’s where all the good shows are! I have to admit that I would even prefer to return to the 60’s commercials… at least I wasn’t offended by most of them!
I even miss the comics on the back of cereal boxes or jokes inside the box of Cracker Jacks! Remember the little tattoos inside the Bazooka Bubble Gum?
Maybe it isn’t the cartoon at all that I fondly remember as my fav, but rather, sitting in my pajamas on a Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal… half watching the cartoon and half reading the puzzle on the back of my cereal box.
I loved Bugs Bunny, obviously, but my favorites might have been Johnny Quest, The Wonder Twins and Scooby Doo. I did really enjoy watching Granny try to wrangle Sylvester, Tweetie, and Hector the Bulldog. Let’s face it… there are too many awesome cartoon characters for me to remember.
Too bad the prompt question didn’t ask what my favorite cartoon time was… I could have saved us all a lot of time and just said CHILDHOOD!

She’s alive!
We can all use this picture to visualize me coming back online. I need it just as much as you… my eye hurts!
I had planned for this picture to represent a new beginning, and it does… just a bit slower than I want. Now that the surgeries are done, I want to be out on the trail again but have to be more patient with my own recovery. I’m super sensitive to light and this eye is more painful than the other one was, for some reason. I want to be up and at em, but it’s not even been 24 hours since my procedure, so maybe I should cut myself some slack.
This process has been such an amazing experience, blended with cabin fever, boredom and frustration at having to sideline my study time and writing… not to mention having to hold off on my trail walks.
I am grateful to announce that I was NOT sporting any unsightly facial hairs or growths, that I’m aware of… thank you Lord for these small favors! My hair, on the other hand, is hideous! My sweet friend is taking me to get it cut and colored for my birthday, and I am seriously considering cutting most of it off and changing my color completely. It is only hair… and it will grow back, so why not?!
New Year… New Look!
Maybe I should do a short cut like this one…
Here are some color ideas…
Whatever I choose to do will be in the F U N Department!!!
If you had an opportunity to do your hair any way you wish that is different from your usual, what would it be?
Go big or go home I suppose…

If I come out of surgery looking like this, you all have to pretend that I look perfectly normal. If you are having trouble not staring at my eyes, just focus on the fact that I have only one nostril… it’ll be much easier that way.

Me and My Shadow…
My most fond memory of a place visited would have to be Kamloops, British Columbia.
When my oldest daughter was about eleven, I wanted to do something special with her… just the two of us. I packed her up and drove straight through from Seattle to Kamloops for a massive Native American Gathering… a Powwow! I had wanted to attend one for much of my life and finally had an opportunity for a Mom Daughter Road Trip, so I took it!
I woke my girl up during the night, packed her snoring little body into the passenger side of our Toyota Camry and headed for Canada. We drove straight through Banff National Forest, which was amazing, by the way. Once we got to Kamloops and dumped all our stuff in the hotel, we headed for all the noise!
We attended two days of amazing displays of incredible Regalia, outstanding music and intense dance performances… f.y.i. taking pictures willy nilly is considered quite rude. If you wish to take a picture of someone, it is sort of expected to give a gift in return. I learned this early on and left my camera in my purse.
We toured the local museums, got lost driving around in the countryside and ate whatever we wanted. I will never forget that trip. I honestly can’t remember what I bought my daughter, but she picked out a necklace for me that I have kept to this day! It is a bronze cast of a wolfs face. Though the necklace bindings all gave out, I have continued to reset the cast all these years later.
While some may think I remember the Powwow as my favorite place to visit… in truth, it’s the time spent with my oldest that holds my memories fast! She and I haven’t spoken in some time. Many years have passed since we were that close. No matter how angry she is, no matter how unforgiving she tries to be… I know we will always have Kamloops, and that is enough memory to get me to the gates…
