Tidbit Tuesday... Did You Know?

Happy Tuesday Everyone!  I love random Tidbit Tuesday... There's no rhyme or reason to what I have to say! 

• The high for the temperature is Low teens and the Low this week I think is 4 Degrees... but we also have wind... So it's Bitter. 
• I have some big work presentations at the end of this week, But I am hoping to recap my NYC trip soon, since its almost been a month since I left... Man where did time go?
• I am ECSTATIC for Ham's Grandma and Aunt to come to town this weekend from Seattle! 
• I am loving my not so little  Red doggy and his personality! 
• I almost have all my Christmas shopping done except for three Stocking sufferer's and One main gift! 
•  I love Christmas music, and I'm glad my coworker does to! 
• I am glad I got one last look at fall... The snow is arriving daily soon... I can hold on to fall for a few more seconds... Right?

Grateful to live in a place with all seasons... 

I know isn't the view great? Sorry to cut ya short, however I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday... 

December + Snow = Winter Wonderland

Oh winter wonderland... 

You are much anticipated, today is suppose to be the hottest warmest day this week. High of 36 and lowest of 17. 

Tomorrow our high is 26 and low is 8 yes... Single digits are appearing on my weather app for every other day this week...

The snow always keeps things insulated... So I kinda hope you stick around... 

However I hate to drive in you... But I love to watch you fall while sipping some hot tea! 

So Welcome snow.... Welcome winter! Good bye Fall :(  

Happy Thanksgiving, Get To Know Me, and Much More!

I hope you all have a wonderful day spent with either loved ones, or Friends. I have spent a few Thanksgiving's by myself so I have really come to appreciate the chaos that now is the normal of them! It also makes me appreciate people who open their homes up to people who don't have anyone or anywhere to spend it. 

Now For Get To Know You November... Day 28... Have you ever had something happen to you, that you thought was bad, but it turned out to be for the best? 

Yes, Yes I have. I would say that this would describe  how I felt when I left my ex-husband.  I never felt like things would get better. Especially when It came to the holidays. But I can honestly say now that with out that time in my life I would be on a different path. I would not be the same, and I would probably not be with the Handsome man I am with now. I would not Change it for the world. 

Now For happy thoughts... man oh man.. Bad topic for turkey day! 

Being that today is Thanksgiving I think its appropreiate to be thankful! 

• Music, with out you my days would be quiet and lonely
• My Job... You can be stressful But I love what I do... 
• My Family... we are crazy but I am glad to have them 
• My Boyfriend and his amazing Family! I cant say thanks enough... 
• My Doctors and all they do for me. 
• I am thankful for my some what HORRIBLE healthy body. 
• I am thankful for Pacey, With out Pacey(My pacemaker) I wouldn't function. 
• The normal... Food, a roof over my head, heat and the plain basics in life. 
• My FURCHILD... Red doggy... Oh how I love you. Even when you are needy and vocal... You are there to greet me every day, and you give me loves when I need it. 
• The exisitance of hot baths, ice pack's, and heat pads... Yes this is creepy but if you have IC you understand why I say this! Oh boy I think this really should be first.... 

So There you have it... Have your self a Happy little Gobble day and don't forget to bring the FAT Kid out in you today!!! :)  

~Finally Friday!~

It's Finally Friday!!!

 I can't believe how fast this week has gone by! It was nice, however a lot has happened this week! 

I have gotten the approval for a site to place a IC Support group meeting in my local area, since the one that was here, has moved! I can't express how happy this is making me this week. Most of us with IC feel so lonely, broken, tattered, and unwanted. This all comes from the fact that people in general have these opinions about us: 

• We don't look sick, so therefore we must be fine
• It's all in your head 
• A bladder disease can't be that serious
• Not enough awareness so, some doctors think your PSYCHO, or just don't believe it
• Mostly people don't understand or can't relate, if you tell someone you have cancer, then they get it, but IC isn't like that. Its rare, and that's part of the issue.

I understand that majority of people don't think this way, however it happens, and someone new with IC can go through hell for the first few months. So I want to make a difference, I want to be different and help! Not only am I listed at both my specialist's office and my family doc's office as a IC  Mentor and they know they can give my digits out to people who want a ear to listen or just for advice... So this first thing this week has been huge! Now to make flyers... Errr I'm not very artsy so we will see! Wish me luck! 

Second, I have realized we have less than 10 weeks until Christmas, and I have not started Shopping. I realize that is a long ways away, but I would still like to start, so I'm brainstorming ideas! However, I will wait until Thanksgiving to play Christmas music! 

Third, I can't wait for my work trip that I announced earlier this week! I am so lucky to have a job I love doing, and I get to travel as well. This will be my second big trip this year with the company, and third in the year I have been with them!!! 

Lastly, It's date night, and menu planning night! So I will post my menu for this next week this weekend, and well let's say I'm SOOOO happy that it's fall and Crock pot season! 

Have a good Friday Ya' all! :) 

What I'm Loving Wednesday<3 

I'm {LOVING}.... The fact that I found out yesterday I get to go on a business trip for work to New York and New Jersey!  I will be there over a week! I am hoping to site see, I for sure want to go to Central Park, Times square, Statue of Liberty, and the list goes on and on! I may be dreaming, after all I am going for work. However a girl can dream right?! 

I'm {LOVING}.... The fact that it is gorgeous this time of the year here! I live in a place where we have all four seasons! 

I'm {LOVING}....  My little  big furchild is filling out, getting big, and has such a personality! 

I'm {LOVING}.... Interstital Cystitis got about 6 minutes of fame on The Doctors TV show yesterday! No Joke!!!!! There are two Segments but here are the videos! Check it out! Start with this one...  Then this one! The girl that did this is amazing to get it out there, I have been in her shoes having those same surgeries, and well its scary! Please go watch this so you have some what of a Glimpse of what I am talking about! 

 I'm {LOVING}....The fact that I have an amazing group of close friends, family, and boyfriend that support me through anything! I haven't been feeling the greatest, and well the man has been really great with slack that I have been leaving behind. He always makes me feel better and so loved.  The fact that two of my best friends are as excited as I am for my trip... one even wants to go with me in my suit case! (Sorry girl, Ya ain't gonna fit! :( ) 

I hope you all have a happy HUMP DAY!!!!
