Blog wrong spot!
I finally have my blog in the right place but this is how I originally started.
LOL! What can I say!


Tuesday Sept. 28, 2010

Hummm today it's downhill skiing and OCD!

First OCD... i know for millions of people this can be a horrific  problem but I am happy with my mine! I dont have anything bad that really disrupts my life so I guess I am lucky that way. I'll give my list now and probably wont get them all the first time.
I wash my hands alot...  When I leave the house I HAVE to wash my hands when I come in the house first thing. The bed Has to be made a certin way, tags at the bottom and the sheets and blankets have to be even on all sides of the bed! It has to always be the same. The kitchen cabinets and drawers CANNOT be left open! ( I really hate that!) I count alot.... ALOT! Stupid things, like scratching, but not to any paticular number, just counting. Shopping... When I put things on the check-out table, they have to be a certin way and when I pack the basket/trolly it has to have the heavy thing in front and the bags in the back.... When loading the car its the same! LOL! It's all really silly and funny! (just scratched nose, 7 times!) I know I have more but that's all I can think of for the moment. Oh hubby has one..... He ALWAYS flushes the toilet when having a pee!

Hubby brings me to downhill skiing...

We have 2 1/2 baths. 2 full upstairs and the half downstairs, under the stairs, so it's small. With my knees the half is "mine" :~) Hubby usually goes upstairs for important business to "his" bathroom. I only ever go there to have a shower! It's a large bathroom. How does this get to downhill skiing???? Well.... The toilet seat broke in hubby's bathroom and, we being the lazy people we are took our good time to replace it! In the mean time when there was business to be tended to hubby woul have to balance and do the " downhill skiing! " on the very wobbly toilet seat! I have to say he got very good at it! If I even went near the seat it would fall! Once in the night I opted to use "his" bathroom and very near broke my neck among many other things! I was even more impressed with my husbands balance and grace after this! I don't know how long that seat was like that but.... eventually it was replaced! I don't think toilet business is as exciting for my hubby now but no doubt much safer!

What goes around comes around!!!!!
I am now a beginer down hill skier! It's a very small half bath so I don't have far to fall or many places to fall for that matter! Still it is exciting! I think we may be on to a new way of honing balance and grace skills!

Not to much going on today....  I have added a playlist on the Music and Video page! Just a few different things I like to listen to. Check it out!

Monday Sept. 27, 2010

Wow! September is almost over and soon Christmas will be here! Where did the year go?? I think whoever is in the control room must be speeding time up! I don’t remember it going this fast! Why is that?? Is it because when we are young things are new and we pay attention to them for being a new experience and then we go into auto pilot as we get older? I have no idea!  (sorry I forgot to add this yesterday so I'm a day l

Well... really not alot going on here for the last few days... The knee is getting better. We were supposed to go see the Goralliz this past week but they changed the date to November. I think it turned out for the best as i am still a bit stiff in the knee and it probably would have been to much for me. Things always work out the way they are supposed to!

Im back on Flickr! Im so glad to be I missed it and all the people there!
Here is my photostream...  http://www.flickr.com/photos/maeame/

I have been working on a GIF and I think its turning out pretty good so far. I will try to post it here when I'm done. I'm really boring today! My pood laptop is very hot! I'm a bit worried that it may be getting sick! Uggh! Can't have that happen!

I was ranbling to my hubby last night about things people are drawn to for know apparent reason... My hubby loves geometric shapes and art! He really seems to be drawn to them very strong! I have a weird one... i'll only give a short version for the moment as it is late and I will be off to bed very soon.... I ramble!

The Lost city of the Incas and Machu Picchu!  It's weird! I know I was there and have no doubts! I was and that's that!
Like I also know about Oliver and my grandma! I'll tell more later but for now thats it!

Today would have been my grandmothers 90th birthday. She was my best friend. She died on October 1st 1999. I miss her so much and my grandfather too. They were like my parents. It’s funny how time passes so fast... It seems like yesterday I saw them and I still think I can just pick up the phone and ring them if I want to. They were so good to me and would have done anything for me and I know they gave me the best thing ever... My hubby! I don’t think there is any way that I would have met him without a bit of divine intervention! And I know they were it! They always wanted me to find a man that would make me happy. A man that I could share my life with and would be my perfect match! My hubby is now my best friend and also EVERYTHING else too! Amazing to have absolutely everything wrapped up in one person and such a perfect package too! :~) I believe that my grandparents gave themselves so I could have my hubby! And not only my grandparents but my Husbands father gave himself too. The three of them gave us the most amazing gift EVER!!!! Each other!

Favourite song...

I have no idea why she loved this song so much but she did! She knew every word and everthing about the singer as well!! I love the song too! Check it out!

On a different note... We have 5 cats! Three of them are from America and today is officially one of their birthdays. Oliver I found, or should I say, Oliver found me just after my grandparents died. He has always been a funny cat! Before I met Michael, Oliver was my protector! LOL! I believe Oliver may have been my grandmother! Just for a while. To watch over me and make sure I was ok and to be with me. He had cancer when he was a kitten and had to have half of his lower jaw removed where the cancer had eaten it away. I sold my car so he could get the surgery! He did and is 11 today!

It's so sweet! I'll be back on Flickr on Thursday so I'll put a link to it then if she says ok! and a few other Flickr people have emailed and sent word with my hubby! It always makes me smile! its cool to have people that are friends online! i think its great to know different people that i would never have known only through photos! it amazes me and i think its great!

Moving On...
:~)

 

I am not traditionally a religious person I have said. I am most drawn to Eastern Philosophy. But I am always interested in different views and thoughts and willing to learn new things... I think I am open minded. And no matter what I would NEVER want to offend anyone about what they might believe. I think a person that can devote their life to religion is amazing! Even if just slightly mad! ;~)


I love to learn! Today I watched "Vatican the Hidden World". I had watched a show once about the Vatican and it was interesting so I thought this one might be good too.


I watched...


I’m a bit put off by the whole thing to be honest. I think it seems really hypocritical.  What I mean is that so much seems to go into the running of the Vatican and so very many unnecessary things are there. Things that don’t have anything to do with Catholicism!  For example... In the Vatican they have a statue from the 18 th century and it’s of an Indian Goddess. WHY?? I can’t imagine that there are many Mosques’s with rosary beads in their stores or a Synagogue with Buddha hidden away somewhere. So it seems a bit weird to me that the Vatican would have religious artefacts of other religions... Shouldn’t they be returned to where they belong? Or even given to some museum for people to enjoy! It didn’t say they were maybe they are returned, i hope so! Wouldn’t that be the right thing to do? It seems like in the Vatican its more about having and owning and keeping all things hidden and secret! They have the so many documents of historical value. Galileo... what else? I wonder? I’m only being picky with my example but I do think there is way too much excess there. There are people starving everywhere... what could the Vatican do to help people if it wanted to? How much money could it give? And how much man power?


 
This is a very quick sum up....


Watching this I was amazed... in many ways. First... I have to say it is a beautiful place. There is no denying that. I would love to see the Sistine Chapel ceiling!
  And there is nothing wrong with having a beautiful place to worship in. The second... the EXCESS! Oh wow!  Do they have EVERYTHING or what?? Why? There is no need for it! A pharmacy?  The third... The Pope... he’s just a man same as every person on the planet! People seem to be almost afraid of him. The fourth.... I have always thought, and, I am in no way being mean here I promise. But the Pope Mobile has to be funniest thing EVER!!!!

In the end... This just confused me and made me feel bad. I just don’t get it? (Except the Pope Mobile!)
 

I checked to see if it’s viewable online and it was pretty easy to find if this doesn’t work.
 

 I tried a few before I got one to work. "Megavideo" worked for me!

I love Art and Photography. Im on Flickr and love it but i have been off for a few weeks now. With surgery and things i have been on a little break. I cant wait to get back on and will very very soon. I love to look at all the photos!!!!! There are so many talented people in the world! I love to see how creative and expressive people are!

Yesterday was "Knee Day" again! Here is the run down of the knees so far!.... 1987 Arthroscopy on the right knee. In 1996 I had another arthroscopy on the right knee and also patella relocation (big big scar) on the right knee. July 2008 arthroscopy on the left knee. April 2010 Arthroscopy for patella desensitization on the right knee. And this one yesterday arthroscopy on the left knee for the patella desensitization. All of this is to delay total knee replacement which will happen at some point as i have severe arthritis in both knees. Im lucky though as its not in the joint as of yet. My trouble is with the patella and the fact that there is no cartliage under them any more.

Anyway..... Im sore today but just glad its all over! My hubby is keeping excellent care of me! Im so very lucky that I have him! And he is so very good to me! When I had the worst surgery in '96 I couldnt bend my leg or put any weight on it for 2 months! And then 2 more months of very intense physio. And I went through it mostly alone. My dad took me in for the surgery and was with me for 3 days to help but after that.... it was just little ole me! I had some help from my grandmothers too but the day to day things were not easy.

Tonight we will have a good chill. If you havent guessed by now chill is the code word for 4:20! And we will watch the X-Factor and Americas Got Talent. Then maybe a movie and sleep.

Thursday Sept. 16, 2010

Hummmm.... the day befor surgery is always long but today has been fine. No worring about tomorrow at all! It was just April I was there last with the same surgery and knowing I will have the epidural again really makes it sooooooo much better! Just having a chill day today... it started at 4:20 and is getting better and better! ;~) the only thing is I cant eat or drink after midnight! LOL! Will just have to go to bed early. Usually I get nervous and cant sleep but not tonight! For the rest of the day I will just surf and listen to music! I am such a lunitic I had 2 neopet accounts I had not been to in ages and today I found them dying but happy to see me! hahaha! Im moving them to one account. Dont know why I like them?? a bit silly really I guess but something to do!

I cant help but wonder if I am typing into space with no one there?! no matter!:~)

The Neopets!
I know I'm crazy! LOL!
But I'm having FUN!!!!

It was a busy weekend. We had a wedding to go to. My hubby's nephew. It was a nice wedding and not to long of a day as we came home early and had a chill night! That was Saturday and Sunday we chilled all day! I am very lucky that my hubby is my best friend and I love spending time with him. We are never apart! and if we are for even a few minutes I miss him. Pretty amazing after 8 years together! Amazing that he can still stand me! LOL! I never thought I would have a bond with a person like I have with him. I know now for a fact there is such a thing as a soulmate! I have found mine! I know to that he is my soulmate for eternity and has been since time began!

At The Church...

Sept 8, 2010

We, my hubby and I have been going out to a lovely place to relax and have lunch sometimes, its a religious place and though I am not a traditionaly religious person I love it there. Its very peaceful and really nice. Anyway there is a field where we park and usually has cows in it but for a few weeks now there have been horses and one has been pregnant. Poor thing has looked like she would burst. We have been like expant parents waiting and not ever day but every few days we have gone to check to see if we are "Aunt and Uncle"..... today we are! What a beautiful baby he is too! I have a few pics that I will add soon. The farmer was there and said that the little guy arrived yesterday Sept 7, 2010. We were out last time on Sunday. He is so cute and small but full of life and running and stretching those legs! Just too cute!

Here is a pic of mother one week ago!

One week to go. Aug 31, 2010
Other news I got today... I am having surgery again on the 17, just a week from friday. I had the same surgery in april on my right knee. It is much better than it was but still I have severe arthritis in both knees and it is very painful. The surgery I am having on my left knee and had in april on my right knee is new. Its called patella desensitization. I have such bad knees this will hopefully delay total knee replacement on both for a few more years.
