I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving. I know I did. I even got some Christmas shopping done done on Friday. Yes. I braved the herds of bargain shoppers. I even thought it was fun.

I am watching an awesome movie right now and I was going to post a clip, but I thought it be more fun to share my favorite quote.

I think its really easy, but then again when I try to guess other people's quotes I always get it wrong or its on the tip of my tongue.

"I'm your Huckleberry"

I'm going back to my movie watching. I am kid free till tomorrow afternoon.

Sweet dreams all.

Lyn

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you.

I am going to have some fun the next couple of days. I am going to wear my jammies all day (with the exception of going to go see New Moon tomorrow. I'll put on a nice sweater. Hee Hee!).

And I have the huge cheesecake that I bought, and now have no where to bring it. Stuff happens and Godiva Chocolate is sinfully delicious. Oh. I am so sorry. I forgot to say that my cheesecake was a Godiva Double Chocolate from the Cheesecake Factory. No, I do not get paid to say that, but I do get to eat it. I have got to figure out how to share this monster.

My Thankful thoughts:

My Son "Z" being OK and now driving everyone up the wall.

My Mom & Dad for all they do for me and my boys.

My having the best job in the world. (It's true. If you love your job it is not work it's fun.)

My Son, Aaron, for wanting to serve his country like his Mom and Uncle's did.

My readers for reading and for not dumping me because I love anything and everything weird.

That last one brings me to a problem I have been struggling with. If you see changes you know thats me over enduldging on that GODIVA Double Chocolate Cheesecake. Yummy! I am going to have to hike more. Ohh. I need a new Camera. Incentive. Sweet!!!!!

Another double blast from my past is this You Tube Video. Anyone under 25 probably will not remember this unless the club they go to plays Old School.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and be kind to strangers.

I just got my heart jump started. Wow.

Oh my Words!

Do you know what it is I love about my friends? They rock! Well. The ones that actually take the time to see if I'm still breathing that is. Whoops. I said that out loud didn't I? Snort snort!! Look Mom. I made a funny. Yeah. I know. I'll stop now.

So. My friend G, (she is under the blogger protection program)*, sends me an e-mail to make me smile and of course send well wishes to Z-man. We had been talking about words and how they sound. No, I am not making this up. Words. They make funky vibrations in your mouth. They force you to use your tongue. Your brain has to wrap around the thought of certain syllables connecting with vowels, or the lack of either. Holy crap. I am starting to sound smart. I need to hush, or you readers may expect me to be grammatically correct and spell stuff and use punctuation and be serious about writing. Again with the inside joke. Sorry.

Ahem. I know that I have my fellow writers, creator's, and reader's that love the different, bizzare, and sometimes strange stuff we produce, or come in contact with. I love funny sounding words. So does G (She is so funny and wicked smart. She needs to start a blog.) Words..words..words. When we use them in our writing we try so hard to creatively use them in order to not be repetitive I repeat Repetitive. Sniff. Hee hee. The inside jokes again. Repeating. Oh for crying out loud. I'll stop.

All you word lovers will love this Dr. Demento video called Bulbous Bouffant.



If you really want go see the cartoon puppet version done by The Vestibules. Oh, what the hello. I will link you here.

Thank you for playing along. Notice I didn't try to sneak in any really fun wordy words? I am so
inimitable. Ha! Gotcha.

I hope you took a second, or 4 or so minutes to watch the educational video. Laughing hard I may have to pee.

Sweet dreams everyone.

Z-file: Surgery Sucks Serious Nads

If you are looking for a fluffy post go away. Nothing about Zach was fluffy and right. Everyone who told me "Oh. It's an easy operation. He goes in and comes out. He should be able to go home that day." Or "My child went in and had it done and came out wanting ice cream and we were out the door."

How about this: My son went in and shoved the surgeon out of the way...gave himself the anesthesia which he was impervious to, so he decided to gargle some ice water to numb himself, and then ripped his own Tonsils and Adenoids right out. He hawked up some blood but felt he was good to go and was ready for some Loaded Nacho's.

Of course I am kidding, but hopefully you get the frustration I have been dealing with. I had to call the Doc again tonight because he is not drinking or eating and he has been throwing up. So now its NO food at all and just water or pedialite. If he tosses his meds and water tonight its back to the ER. Bleh.

I have some pictures from the hospital. I stopped taking them for obvious reasons.







That's my baby boy. My Z-man! One day of surgery crumbled this Super-Spirited-Ultra-Positive-Ever-Smiling-Mama.

Hopefully he sleeps peacefully.

Sweet dreams to all.

Zach update: We got home yesterday afternoon. It was a very tiring experience. Once we both got settled in and cleaned up we laid down for a while and managed to sleep clear through the night. I gave him more meds this morning and he went right back to bed. I think I may lay down again too.

Take care all.

Zman heads to Surgery.

clip from here

I am packed, and ready. Mom took care of Z while I was at work tonight, so all is well. We are ready to board Captain!

I still have my heart in my throat. I have gotten different responses from my lovely customers,(seriously they ROCK), on what to expect and how their child and/or relative/s handled this procedure. I am getting the part that each child is different and responds as such with this. I also grasp that because of the age it may or may not make it good or bad for him.

Why then do you torture Mom & Dad & Grandparents with shrouded information and then unsure responses to questions I ask? Oh and why did I have to wait all day to get my info for tomorrow? Do you realize that I looked like an idiot speaking to your rep while a customer came over to say Hello. I had to tell said customer that I was on a personal call and was very sorry. You should have been the one apologizing, not me!

Don't even think about blaming us "Fantabulous" retail workers for anything less than extraordinary customer service. The only other option is to avoid "me" because I am a Happy plague. I smile and latch on like no tomorrow.

OK. One more time for good measure and in case anything goes wrong...Pray for Zachary and think about him tomorrow while you are having your breakfast or lunch. He is totally worth the couple of seconds and I want to stop eating my heart.



We (The Hernandez & Pronovost family) thank you for everything. Once again, please think of Z tomorrow.

Sweet dreams all.

Lyn & Family
