Ey, yey, yey. What a week. What a day. Okay so far, I went to see a doctor in Fairfield on Monday. This is to establish care with a new doctor since the doctor I was seeing left the practice I was going to. So this new doctor was talking about what my options are in my current situation. She is suggesting that she consult with another doctor in the practice about getting me is as soon as possible to get the biopsy done and not wait until the end of April with is when my appointment is with the other doctor. Also she wants to see about getting a CT scan. So anyway now I have these new words in my vocabulary. Biopsy, tumor, cyst. Hmmm... Got to learn more about these.
Oh on top of all these, I got a letting in the mail that says it is time to get my annual mammogram. The all important squish your breast between to pieces of plastic so they can take a picture. It has been the only time in my life in which I have felt sorry for women with small breasts. I have an abundance of breast and wow oh wow they tug and pull those suckers in there to get a good picture. However, it is really important to get it done. My grand mother was a breast cancer survivor. So I do it to honor her.
Tomorrow is Friday. Its the Friday before my birthday. I am excited to get my party on this weekend. Gonna go see Supo Guapo at Stars on Friday night. Then on Saturday night it is Time Bandits. I'm gonna do my best not to get too messed up, but enjoy the time dancing. I hope so much that I can make it to mass on Sunday. Maybe I might go Saturday. I know I gotta make sure I go to church. Especially since it is lent. I am excited this year. It is my first lent as a full flegged confirmed Catholic.
We will see what happens.. Hopefully there will be no drama.
May the Lord's peace be with you.

Just another Thursday.. yeah right
Today started like any ordinary day. Woke up after hitting the snooze button 4 or 5 times. (I know that is my limit or I will be late for work) Showered, Tried my best to apply make up. Somedays I am successful and I look like I know what I am doing and others I look like I let a 2 year old put it on me. Go figure.
So I at work and I am working on spreadsheet for the Loss Mitigation (another name for repo). My cell phone rings. It is my doctor's office. I hurry out to the hallway to take the call (I can't be on my cell "on the floor" or at my desk. I have to go into the hallway). My doctor called to tell me the ultrasound I had done on Monday shows I have a fibroid tumor in my uterus and the walls of my uterus has thickened. She said the fibroid is about 4 cenimenters. So she is going to send me to an OB/GYN to do a biopsy. So that had really made my day. I have to say I am a bit frustrated. My life is one of those which there is always something going on. Sometimes there isn't any peace. But I guess that is what life is all about. I am not worried about this. I did some reading at most of the time these type of fibroids are benign. The doctor said I should hear from the OB/GYN in a few days to schedule an appointment. I guess in the mean time I just need to take it easy and relax.
So I am now is wait and see mode. Stay tune...

Top o' da mornin'! Everyone is Irish today
Yep that's right, today is the day we celebrate the death of the patron Saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick's day. Which legend says he drove the snakes from the country. Everywhere you go there is green and Guiness is the drink of the day. It would be nice to have one right now. But being that mother nature has decided to visit me this week. I wasn't up to going out. Besides, its a Wednesday. I still gotta work tomorrow.
Speaking of work, we all had a ton of fun today. You seen, I work for a credit union. No, not a bank. A credit Union. There is a difference. A bank has customers, a credit union has members. Banks are for profit, credit unions are not. Anyhow, I digress, we had fun. I work in a collections department. Right now during this economy, this is not the funnest place to be since it seems everyone is has lost their job, mortgage has flipped, etc. So my co-workers have a tough job. Mostly trying to get water from a stone. So every chance we get we try to do things to have fun. Almost always, these fun days include food. Then we had competitions throughout the day. Being that I am not a collector, but an analyst. I wasn't involved in most of the competition. However, there was one they did which was hilarious!!!
Now, the collectors has to collect X amount of dollars to have the COO and the CFO eat a concoction mixed up by the supervisors. So these executives ate a combination of pistatio pudding and some sort of vegatable. The looks on their faces were priceless. The real fun was if the collectors surpassed another X amount of dollars then one of the Senior VPs would have to eat as well.
This lady is one smart cookie. She turned the tables on her peers. They all thought that they would get to see her eat some icky mash up. The door opens and she comes in with this neon green wig, a magic light up wand & a small pail (her pot of gold).
So what no one knew was that her pot was full of $5 bills. She said to the collection crew, she would pay everyone in the department $5 if she didn't have to eat the mash. Well, you know the old adage,
It was really fun. I have to say, we have the most fun in the whole credit union. They may have strict dress codes & rules. But we can also let our hair down once in a while. We do it oh so well.
Peace out all!

"Money talks, bullshit walks."Everyone took the money. The other Sr. staff's dropped when she did that because THEY ate the icky food.

Hold on folks! Here we go! Tighten up those belts one more time!
So here it is, my first post on my shiny new blog. It even has that new blog smell. I am jumping on the blogging bandwagon like so many others. What do I have to offer with my blog you might wonder? Well, the truth is... I don't know. I like to write. I like to write about my life. I have a knack for understanding things, and like everyone else in the free world: I have an opinion and I want to voice it. I guess that's what this is about. Or it could be like Seinfield... not really about anything in particular at all. I still have to fill out my profile thingy. But I want to think about that first. Even though my most interesting thoughs are usually just off the cuff. I will give it some time. Right now, its been a long day and I am getting a bit weary. So I am gonna sign off for now. Don't what to get too amped up about this whole blogging thing yet. I need some ramp up time. Then the fun happens.
Thanks!
Lisa
