CHOCOLATE ANYONE??

I am convinced that on the 8th day, or the 15th at the very least, God created chocolate! Just kidding. But is it not the best thing EVER!!! Friends make flake and go away, other people have to sleep when you are up all night long, other stuff can happen, but chocolate in ALL forms (currently being devoured by me: M&Ms, Bliss by Hershey, and Fudge from the Fudgery in SC) is always there.

I think I have made a decision, though not 100% convinced, about my surgery. I have several questions for my doctor, that will settle things. I have trouble sleeping, I cannot turn off my brain.

A really good distraction is that Training Camp has started!! Whoo hoo!!!! It makes me so happy to see those guys out on the field. I am sorry about the injuries the first day. One was Philip Daniels, a really nice guy. He tore his ACL and is out for the season. He is set to have surgery. I am praying that it is not too painful. I had that same injury, not from playing football but I just twisted it the wrong way.

Last year Dad and I went to Training Camp, and it turned out to be the hottest day in August. Dad got great pictures as he has a camera with a super photo lens. When we went to get them printed, he had taken about 50 or more pics of Chris Cooley, since he knew that #47 is my favorite on the current team, second only to the great Darrell Green. It was just funny that I ended up with that many pictures of one person, but of course I loved it.

And the Skins added the Dance Machine himself Jason Taylor. He should be a good asset.
I gotta get more info. on the new guys before I get in touch with my Uncle. We guess at the beginning of each season what we think the team's end status will be. I won last year!

Until the next time.........

Big thanks!!!

Big thanks to Tanner, for helping me figure out how to get that darn counter out of here!!! Now this looks like it is supposed to. Big hugs, Tanner!

Heavy thinking day...

When you have a very important decision to make, and you have been given a "few weeks" to decide, how do you distract yourself? I am currently trying television, and a program that I love. "The Closer", I had to start 4 times before I even was listening to it.

The question is this: my doctor has urged me to have a pump inplanted in my gut around to my spine that would give medication. I have argued about this surgery for years. The whole thing just makes me ill. This past weekend I spoke with someone who has recently (March) had it done, and that was helpful. But it also brought up some questions. YIKES!!!

So, chocolate has helped alot. I will not talk about how much I ate last week (down at my second house, my Aunt's in Richmond), but let's just say that the M&M business is making lots of money off my purchases. Books and magazines helped. I finished one book that was outstanding, and then had a few mags to keep up with. The computer helped ALOT. My addiction with Webkinz was fed big time. I was able to play with my little cousins (the ones that got me started), and I ended up showing some stuff to them that they had not found. Their Mom also told me that they only play with theirs when I am there. And that they wanted to come over early each day, not to see Nana or my Mom, they "just wanted to play with Tracey". That made me feel great.

I am leaning toward having this surgery, but man, I really dread it. But, enough of that. For those who wondered or emailed to check, my pelvis is not fully healed yet, and a big amount of the pain is gone.

It was driving me nuts not to be able to post here, but as is normal for me, I forgot my password. Had to re-set it, so now I am back.

Just to let you know why I am not posting

I fell on Wednesday and fractured a bone in my pelvis. Not good news, but that is why I will be gone for a while.

I appreciate any prayers and thoughts of good wishes.

I am here at Myrtle Beach, and loving every moment. For the past two days, I got to go out in the ocean!!! They have this cool aqua chair that you can use, made of PVC pipe and huge tires, it is wonderful. Someone else has to push it but when you get out in the waves, it floats!! Dad would take me out about 5 inches deep or so, and when a wave came, man, that thing would have floated away if he was not holding it. My sister clued me in on the fact that Dad was pushing the back part down in order for me to get wetter. Yesterday I was wet all the way to the top of my head!!

Someone would have to go out around 7 and reserve it from the life guard, but it was free. And you could use it for an hour, but if no one else had asked for it you could keep it longer. It was so much fun!! I may do it again at the end of the week, but I am not sure. It was awesome being able to go out on the beach and in the water. And so many people came up to ask how we got it, I thought we may have some competition to get use for it. They only have one for all of North Myrtle Beach. Crazy, I know.

Today I am taking the day off, a bit sunburned and tired, and we are going to Broadway at the Beach this evening. Should be fun. They have fireworks there every night.

Tough to say if I will slow down again this week to post here, we are having a blast!!

Sleep, blissful sleep!!!!!!!!

Today was the day after a mini vacation that everyone loves when you realize that you are home, in your own bed, and you do not have any appointments or anything that you have to get up for. So, I was awake for about an hour, took all the meds for this morning, went back to sleep until about 1, ate lunch, and then dozed off and on thru the afternoon.

Tonight I am realizing that I do have to get up at a certain time to be at an appointment, and I am dreading that, but after that I have the rest of the time to rest up for our trip to Myrtle Beach on Thursday.

I got my computer hooked up again this afternoon, and was able to play (make sure my Webkinz Sophie the Bear, was OK). After a burger and fries from the best place I know of (Five Guys), I am watching the Bachellorette and typing. I know who my favorite is, who I think DeAnna should choose, but he better get his act together. I think she should pick Graham, but if he doesn't start opening up, he may be a goner. Just my opinion, and unfortunately, she didn't ask me. Though I am still single and will be until I die I am sure, so maybe I would not be a good one for advice.

Well, until later........

Forgot to mention the super great thing that happened today. Tonight around 8, my little cousins that started this whole Webkins thing, came over and climbed in bed with me (one was laying against my side with his head on my shoulder, and the other was kind of lying on my stomach) and we stayed that way and I showed them my new rooms on the site, and showed them a few games that they did not know how to play. Tomorrow we have a "date" to get our pets and have them play together. I hope they know how to do that, I have no idea.

My Aunt got some pictures of us like that. I found out later that they had come from a pool party and were damp and cold. That is probably the reason they wanted to cuddle, no other reason. Oh well, I will take what I can get.
