Lots of nothing
Wednesday, January 03, 2007
This has been a very unusual winter season for our area so far. We have had 4 inches of snow all winter to date. There is a possibility of snow this weekend but frankly, I don't expect any. We live south-east of Lake Michigan and usually we do get the "lake effect snow" but so far, the winds have pushed it up and over our area. I expect we will get dumped on just when we need some good weather....like in about 2 weeks when we drive our BIL's repaired car half-way to Colorado. We intend to meet him and drive his rental car back here to turn in.
In the meantime, I had worn my winter coat about 3 times. I usually wear a heavy sweater jacket when I go out now.
Today I had a repeat ultrasound on my thyroid as I have some nodules. I told my doctor I had been coughing more and we thought it would be wise to get them checked. I don't expect there is anything wrong, just want to be cautious. Tomorrow is my mammograph for the year. Again, just a check-up.
I don't have much to blog about today so I decided that these links would be a good way to spend the time. Hope you enjoy them.
and here is a Post Christmas Greeting...
Merry Christmas To My Female Friends
If I were ol' Santa, you know what I'd do
I'd dump silly gifts that are given to you
And deliver some things just inside your front door
Things you have lost, but treasured before.
I'd give you back all your maidenly vigor,
And to go along with it, a neat tiny figure.
Then restore the old color that once graced your hair
Before rinses and bleaches took residence there.
I'd bring back the shape with which you were gifted
So things now suspended need not be uplifted.
I'd draw in your tummy and smooth down your back
Till you'd be a dream in those tight fitting slacks.
I'd remove all your wrinkles and leave only one chin
So you wouldn't spend hours rubbing grease on your skin
You'd never have flashes or queer dizzy spells
And you wouldn't hear noises like ringing of bells.
No sore aching feet and no corns on your toes
No searching for spectacles when they're right on your nose.
Not a shot would you take in your arm, hip or fanny
From a doctor who thinks you're a nervous old granny.
You'd never have a headache, so no pills would you take.
And no heating pad needed since your muscles won't ache.
Yes, if I were Santa, you'd never look stupid
You'd be a cute little chick with the romance of a cupid.
I'd give a lift to your heart when those wolves start to whistle
And the joys of your heart would be light as a thistle.
But alas! I'm not Santa. I'm simply just me
The matronest of matrons you ever did see.
I wish I could tell you all the symptoms I've got
But I'm due at my doctor's for an estrogen shot.
Even though we've grown older this wish is sincere
Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year.
and last - but certainly not least. Here's a little game to play!
When all the numbered red squares are visible, try to get rid of them as fast as you can, in numerical order. (You don't have to click them... just touch them with the cursor) ..A Hand -Eye coordination test.
