Gross..


I had a bit of "fun" on Monday night. I had to do a Saliva test for my Dr.

They gave me this following kit and told me to chew the thing that looks like a wet wipe (incidentally, it was very dry!) for 30-40 seconds or untill I no longer could chew. Sounds fun right?

So I chewed the wet wipe, and tried not to be totally grossed out. Which didn't work, especially when the thing started disinigrating in my mouth! What the mess!! I frantically opened the little capsule to spit it out and put it in there and voila. What was in there?

The actual cylinder I was supposed to chew.

Yes, I chewed the wrong thing.

No the wet wipe thing wasn't supposed to be in there and the nurse gave me faulty information. Thanks for that btw.

After using an entire bottle of water to rinse the now disinigrated pieces of wet wipe from my teeth and other various mouth parts, I tried again.

It was gross. I ended up gagging and spit it out. Don't know if it was 40 seconds, don't care. I think I had enough spit on it!

Oh the fun joys of medical tests..

In other news I went back to the Lab for the 4'th time in less than two weeks and gave my 12'th vial of blood.

For someone who HATES needles and blood as much as I do, its been rather interesting. I am proud to say the last two times I have not passed out, cried or gotten really woozy. GO ME!

I will however admit that last night when she had the iv on my arm and blood started going through it and I felt it.. *SHIVERS* that about sent me over the edge.

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

Life in Phone Pics

 Can I just say how much I appreciate the fact that my new phone takes so much better pictures than my old one?! I have been using my phone for almost all of my pics! And bonus, no purple hair! Above is a new dessert I made. A Smores Cookie Bar. It was yummy. I had some and then realized I would eat the entire thing if I kept it. So I gave 90% of it away to my students. This just cracked me up. Last weekend when I was elevating my feet I obviously had the lights off and yet my toes were so neon pink that you could still see them in the darkness!  My toes weren't the only thing pink on my body. My sunburn was of an epic proportion. now it has started to peel. Everywhere. Even my arms. yuck. I'll spare you from that! Oh well, at least my hair looked cute here!  Yes, I am really showing you a picture of my cabinet. Last night I decided to totally move all but one of my cabinets. Erm. or rather the insides of them. My dishes and glasses used to be in th...

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...
