"I'm grateful for every scar...

...but there were lessons learned."

Given that it hurts me to type right now, I doubt this will be a) very long or b) very exciting.

I had a small surgical procedure done yesterday and I am now paying for it. The upside was that I was not expecting it, so I didn't have that much time to worry about it. Because I am a huge worrier and any medical procedure freaks me out. I only had 15-20 minutes to think about it before they started, and I had a People magazine to peruse to keep my mind off of it. However, now I am really sore. It probably didn't help that since I was completely numb, I went with some friends to go play tennis. I didn't really play, but I swung the racquet a couple times. I have now learned. And I'm tired, because I couldn't find a way to sleep last night that didn't pull my stitches funny or cause me some sort of pain and discomfort. Hopefully this will go away soon. But now I can say that I have had stitches...it took 22 years, but now I have 9 in a fun little line.

And now for something completely different: I have found a new addiction. Fruit smoothies. But is it an addiction if it is good for you? In my mind half a banana, some pineapple chunks, a couple strawberries, low-fat yogurt, a splash of milk, and a little cinnamon is good for me and should be seen as a positive addiction. And they are delightful. I love summer.

Last point: I am excited for American Idol tonight. I have to work until 8, but I will get to see the end which is what is important. I enjoyed last night's performances and could go either way, hence why I didn't vote last night. I went into the evening favoring Kat, but Taylor knocked my socks off...well, my flip flop anyway. We'll see what happens, but I think it will be close.

No more typing for this girl. Yet another lesson learned.

Yeah, just a little in-and-out thing...a mole removal, but in a place that really messes you up because movement gets really hard. But I really want to play tennis soon, but I can't for awhile.

T: I'll be the legs, you be the arms.

I'm still alive and kickin it. however, softball was not kind to me last night.

I hit a base wrong while running which caused a pulled muscle and now when I bend my knee there is a sharp stabbing pain. Give me a couple of days and it should all be fine.
