Christmas Quote 2008

*at the dinner table, after supper, waiting for Christmas Pudding*

Sister: Would you like something to drink, Nana?

Nana stares: *silence*

Papa *taps Nana on the shoulder*: She wants to know if you would like anything to drink?

Nana: *silence*

Me, shouting: Would you like a shot 'a gin, Nana?

Nana: Eh? Oh...*laughs* Uh huh...?

*Nana has no idea what's going on*

Oh Nana, you bring out the best in everyone lol. You are the very best when you don't hear what we say:)

What makes it all better is that i discovered that my Papa still carries his 'indoor' shoes around in a Spiderman lunch bag.

Oh nana and papa, i would be lost without you guys:)

Merry Christmas AGAIN!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a lovely, lovely Christmas! I myself had a fab time with my family, and I cannot beleive the day is over! I admit I am a little sad. But there's still New Years so yay!

I got lots of lovely things and I couldn't be more thankful and grateful! I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas and that it was filled with happiness and joy, and that at the moments when your family made you go crazy and tempted you to scream like a demon child, that you found some refuge and let it slide!

Tomorrow/today is Boxing Day. There is no Boxing Day in the states, but there is in the UK and and S. Africa ( i think? Alice?) and Australia. I've already got my Chapters list created and I don't think i will be able to sleep tonight. With my luck, they won't have the 2 books i really really want, which means I will have to order them but that's exciting b/c then THEY WILL COME IN THE MAIL AND YAY! True, I did get 3 books for Christmas, and it's also true that I have about 15 brand new books that I havent read yet b/c my list just keeps on growing...but I can't help it. I'm a book whore.

Anyways I have to run, I'm watching the Tudors (season 2!) and Henry Cavill is on-screen without a shirt on and I don't have a pause button.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!:)

So this is Christmas
And what have we done?
Another storm over

And a new one's just begun...


Yeah you read that right, "storm". We're getting our 3rd storm since Friday and it's a total bitch. I just had the misfortune of being out in it, and of getting stuck going up a hill on my way to Krystal's place. I tried my hardest, I applied the gas as much as i could, and i could hear my tires dying, could smell the fumes come through my windows, and yet my car wouldn't move.

We were stuck in the middle of a bloody hill. A huge fucking steep hill.

I couldn't turn my tires to do a 3 point turn. Nothing. No way out. No way out but down. So i put my car in reverse and went down the hill backwards.

And alas I am home, and in one peice, but damned if i'll go back out in this shit again! I was at Jenna's picking up something and was only in her house for 5 minutes, when I came out and my entire back window was a sheet of ice.

FUCK MY LIFE.

And tomorrow of course it is going to rain! Yeah...fucking great.

Anywho, I had another dream that I got my tx. I'm not sure if i dreamt it last night or the night before. Is that bizarre? I wanted to blog about it yesterday, and then i dreamt about my dream last night, and now I can't really remember the exact details of the whole thing except that it was a vastly different tx dream than from what i've usually had.

In this one i got the call and made it to the hosp. But i got further than that, i got prepped and went into the OR and then woke up, and i remember taking a deep breath in and marveling at how effortless it was and how great it felt, and how it seemed to go on and on forever.

I felt well.

I felt healthy.

I FELT NORMAL AND LIKE IT WAS THE WAY IT SHOULD FEEL.

Needless to say i woke and felt very happy and very satisfied, but this is where it gets fuzzy. I seemed to have dreamt about doing things too soon for the docs or something, like being active and dancing and so forth. Oh well. I TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND IT FELT GREAT AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS SO FUCK EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ELSE!

*screams from the top of the world*

Now that that's over, that's really all I have to say. Not sure if i will blog tomorrow (to escape the madness) and if not, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT! I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas and that you eat lots, gossip lots, get naughty pictures and have an overall fantastic time!

And most of all, BREATHE AND ENJOY IT B/C YOU CAN! WEEEEEE!

Michael Jackson needs a lung transplant...

...Any givers?

Um....yeah.

It's one thing to try to keep it private; it's another thing to stroll around in your jammies in a wheelchair with a blanket on your head.

That's when it becomes a little more difficult to remain private and conspicious.


Thoughts?

CANADIAN BREAKTHROUGH

LUNG IN A BOX IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fucken eh!

I went to the presentation for this at the end of August. The first presentation when they told all of the lung transplant patients about this procedure. The first phase was done in September, and now the second phase is being done! I have signed up for this and really hope that my call comes soon and i get to use to procedure.

I can proudly say that i know the docs in the vid, that i recognize the guy who got done, and i can proudly shout as loud as I possibly can that THIS WAS PIONEERED BY CANADIAN DOCTORS. Yes I am proud. Yes, I am taking bragging rights. And yes, I will push anyone down if they try to contradict me. I am just too damn excited about the whole thing that I feel like i have to break something!!!

Voila, Lung in a box: http://watch.ctv.ca/news/health/avis-favaro/#clip123286

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
