Today's my Birthday. I'm now 36.
Yep! I'm three dozen years old now. *sigh*
It has'nt been bad at all really. It's been a pretty nice day in fact. Not extraordinary, but nice. Y'know?
I'm on vacation this week as well. Have'nt got much planned though. Maybe a day trip to Little Rock on the weekend. I need to get myself a really nice bottle...

Someone had printed out and left several copies of the following story on the break room table at work some time back. I picked up a copy and read it, and thought it was such an insightful and inspiring little tale that I thought I'd share it with you all here.
I've put it up here, verbatim, word-for-word, so please forgive the first paragraph...

Happy Birthday!

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVELOVE
One of the reasons I started taking Martial Arts was to get into better shape.
As part of this commitment, back in February, I bought a high-capacity digital scale (which will measure up to 440lbs...trust me, I needed it) to help monitor my weight loss.
When I first started using it, I weighed in at 387 lbs, give or take a few tenths.
I just...

Sorry I have'nt updated in awhile...I've been sick.
My week on vacation threw my normal sleep pattern off as well, so what little time I've had off from work since then I've either been sleeping or just too sick. Hell, I was in the ER last Saturday morning (June 27th). I had diarrhea so bad that they had to put me on a IV to...

Sorry you have been sick. I know what is like to be so sick that it is coming out of both ends. It is about as bad as it gets. Hope your vacation was good, and you will get to post the good stuff sometime soon. Take it easy, and we'll see you around.
niobe:
*hugs* I hope you are okay now.
As of 4 am this morning, I am officially on Vacation!!
I need it too...I'm Fucking Knackered!
I'm going to try and get a few hours sleep now, then I'm off to Illinois for the week to see my Dad and family up there.
See you all when I get back.
Later my friends.

Have fun. We will be here when you get back. I hope you are getting to go someplace fun like Chicago. Have a great vacation!
Whew....it's been a very difficult past couple of weeks.
My brother has developed a kind of Paranoid/Depressive Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
To give you an idea of how bad it is without actually mentioning the exact types of things he's been obsessing over, I give you this example of the kind of obsessive guilt he puts on himself.
He worries that he might have given people...

That's not good about your brother. Hopefully he can make his way through. I guess all you can do is be there when he needs you.
Congrats on the orange belt. Weapons - sounds like fun.
I hope I stick with the exercise thing too. I really want to feel better about the way I look. I am sure when I start to lose weight and see the results if will only help me stick with it.

I got my ears pierced again!! 
Ok. I FINALLY set myself up a youtube account and put a few videos on it.
I would've put the videos up here, but the powers-that-be here at SG won't accept a video over 100 megs.
So here's a video of one of my workouts for you. Just so you get an idea of me in action....

thank you for your kind words...
Well, Dad's surgery went well.
The doctors said that if they found cancer in the lymph nodes that would'nt operate, but instead move on with chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
But they went in, found no cancer in the nodes and went ahead and removed his entire left lung. The next day, the doctor reported that they think they got all of it. Dad should only...

Yeah, I was kinda in the middle of it, not by choice! lol
They started doing at it while I was already in the middle of them.
Stupid me for being in the middle I guess.

I got a call from my sister Friday. Dad's got his second opinion from a doctor in St. Louis, and has decided to go ahead and have surgery to remove the tumor, and has sugery scheduled for May 5th.
This is good news. The type of cancer he's been diagnosed with is actually the slowest acting and slowest growing,...

Thanks for the comment about the dress.
Thanks for the comment about the dress.I'm better now...
Dad's hopeful about his chances and all, but still....this whole thing still upsets me. Though, for his sake, I'm going to be hopeful for him.
My brother and I are planning a trip up to see him soon.
Anyway.... The Arkansas Scottish Festival is this weekend, and I'll be in attendance once again. Drop by if you're in the area. And if...

sorry to hear something is up with your dad.
Last Thursday, I got a call from my sister.
At my Dad's last medical check-up, they found a tangerine/small-orange sized mass in his left lung.
We were hoping that it was merely a formation leftover from his last bout with pneumonia last winter.
I talked to my Dad just a few hours ago.....the tumor is cancerous. It's stage 2 Lung Cancer. And he has opted...

Man, I'm so sorry about your dad. It sounds like such a hard situation for you to be in. From an outsiders perspective, I think it's a good thing you started to reconnect with him already. While it obviously makes it harder for you to have to go through this with him, I'm sure he will be grateful to have you in his life again now. Wish you all the best.
dah:
That is bad news about your dad. I think it is a good thing that you are talking with him again, you will never have to say "what if".
I didn't want to cancel my card but it has a visa debt on it, so I was worried about that. And I could go back to the shop until the monday as they were closed on the sunday. It was such a stuff around with it all. Still waiting on my new card, but at least I could get my normal account linked to my other card so I can still access my money.

Though, I won't be doing that myself...I have work. Oh well.
We had Chewy cremated. His ashes now sit on my shelf. I think when I'm ready, I'm going to spread them over the farm where he was born.

That is awesome news about the weight loss. The best thing is you can see the difference that it is making. Just think of how much weight you will lose getting to your goal of black belt.
You were think of the right movie, and you were spot on with the latter about why it made me feel like crap.
I hope there is someone out there for everyone, no one should be a loan.
