Keeping the ovaries makes it so you dont go into early menopause, right?

Cysts form on our our ovaries all the time. Every time an egg is made it makes a cyst and for those of us with PCOS we just have cyst covered ovaries. Often they rupture before they get to be an issue but sometimes they get big and hurt and have to be operated on.

Oh and I dont see the picture happening soon. I am at another "not happy with how I look" stage. The looking at myself in the mirror etc lasted 1 day and now I am back to "I am fat and look fat"

hmm nope no menopause yet LOL yea that was the whole point of keeping my ovaries.

The right one is the one giving me fits and I saw her yesterday again and she said more than likey I will need to have it removed..which makes me furious because she was just all in there 8 months ago and now I am gonna have to deal with it again grrrrr

Ahh @ the mirror..me and mine have a love/hate thang going right now so I feel ya babe!

[Prancer]

Hopefully the ovarie removal will be an easier recovery then the hyster.

Ack I hope so! I guess we will see!!

Man ohh Man..moving an office is such a chore. I am trying to get everything organized finally. All my photo CD's(80% of which I have to pull up on the pc to see what is on it ) Plus I ordered all these boxes and things for my scrap supplies so once they arrive I will get to go thru all that and believe you me I have ALOT of scrap stuff LOL

It is amazing how nice things look once you have the space to put things where they go

The next project Craig is doing is building a closet on one wall in our bedroom(the one where the desks used to be) We have almost no closet space right now to hang things and most of our stuff is in the kids closets

Been doing pretty well this week. I had a MASSIVE headache last night and most of today but it seems to be getting better slowly. I think it is from the fumes where we stained the new room

Right now I am down another lb but I am not changing it until Sunday so hopefully it will stay gone!!

You are going to have to post a new picture when you get it all moved in. I went thru my pictures recently and took them off disk and put them on CD. That took FOREVER so I dont envy you.

I was in my scrapbook cabinet yesterday looking for something and Tom started bugging me about how far behind I am. Maybe if he builds me an office I can do mine too.

I've missed you and Jenn. Hope you get settled soon and I've had both the cysts and partial hyst. Still have my ovaries though. Do everything you can to keep them!

[JeepGirl]

I dont know how I missed the last 2 posts on here *duh me*

Well in the new scrapspace saga--- I was able to get most of my stickers, letters, and misc flat items all situated in their respective boxes. I also got my small items like eyelets, brads, buttons, etc, etc, etc all in new tackle box looking things so I can see them easy.

It is AMAZING what I didnt even know I had LOL

Tomorrow Craig is building the shelves for my paper--and I have ALOT of paper. It is kinda an obessession with me so to speak So then I get the lovely job of getting all my papers in order.

I started my photos today as I got the boxes on Sat. Man I have ALOT of photos. I an doing it by year and we have all laughed at the pics as we go through them..it has actually been fun!

I also recvd my stamp/ink pad organizer today and I LOVE it! I decided I need more ink pads to fill the spaces.

Hopefully I will have it all ready by this weekend as I am sooooo ready to start scrapping on a regular basis again...especially now that I found all these great pics again!

On the MF front..all was well except lunch today. I was away from home and didnt know I was gonna be the only thing near us was a Subway and I had a kids turkey sandwich. Once we were back on I was right back on schedule so I aint too terribly worried about it.

We are going Jeeping this weekend and I am soooo excited! It has been a few months so I am ready to get out in the woods and have fun! Plus the kids are going with my parents all weekend so it is kinda a free weekend @ here LOL

Ebony--Thanks sweetie..it is great to know we are missed when we dont check in often
Yea I am hoping to keep them as long as I can!!

[Prancer]

Ok so I am not the only one that spends a good portion of my scrapbook time organizing??? I swear I do that more then scrap.

I personally have a sticker obsession. Paper is not far behind but I am a sticker freak. I also dont use eyelets and brads. I was taught it might harm your pictures on other pages when the album is closed. So I never learned out to do it. I use them a lot when I do computer scrapping. No hammering necessary.

Hey..how about when we reach goal we arrange a weekend get away and scrap together???

How close are you to Savannah? One of my very close friends lives down there now, her husband works for the same company as Tom and they were transfered.

[JeepGirl]

lol normally it isnt do bad..everything was just tossed here and there, but now that I actually have the space I am kinda picky about it

I learned the hardway @ eyelets/brads and now my albums do not lay flat for any reason! I have a crop-a-dile because I hated using the hammer lol

Girl I will meet ya anywhere!

I am @ 5 hrs from Savannah. It is about the only city in GA to which I have never been. I would love to go there--especially if your there!

[Prancer]

That's so sweet. I am going to have to lose a whole ton of flabbage (as Nancy calls it) before I haul my big hiney down to GA. I dont like to sweat. I swear tho next time IP sends Tom to GA I will fix it so I can go too. He is going away in November but I think to Ohio...I dont want to go there.

I went to an all day crop 2 yrs ago (on bday actually) and one of the girls there was doing eyelets and brads. I about lost my freaking mind listening to her hammer.

Have a good day.

I don't scrap, but I do quilt and half the fun of quilting is buying fabric and notions and getting the sewing room organized.....I can spend hours and hours rearranging.

[kendra_m]

I'm the same way with jewelry.... I make sterling and beaded stuff and half the fun is shopping for cool beads and then getting them all organized!!

[Aerie]

Well it's been a bit since I've checked in here on your thread but I think I've read enough to be caught up. So you scrapbook do ya? I don't but I think if I had kids I would. Scrapbooks are lovely and what a fun project. One of my employees keeps a current scrapbook of all the photos and cards we get at the hospital. When I retire someday I'm sure I'll really be greatful for it. I have been thinking about learning how to knit. Something mindless that I can do when I watch tv. Besides, apparently it's cool to knit now. At least that's what I read somewhere recently.

I want in for Savannah too!

[JeepGirl]

lol you got it Doc!

Yea Scrapping is one of my passions and I love it. I have always been a major photohound so the scrapping part just came natural. Plus it gives me something to do while I sit here all day LOL

Ohh Kendra--I love jewelry, I would love to see some of your stuff!

I flubbed and had a chick biscuit this morning..badbadReg!!

I am measureing today since it has been a long while so we will see how that goes

[Prancer]

I was thinking I need to measure too, its been a long time. I bet you are going to see big differences when you do.

When I signed in both our journals were next to each other on the new posts and we both have the same number of pages in our journals. We are total freaks. The twilight zone would have a field day with the two of us.

Did you see the movie Racing stripes with your kids? The big quote in the movie is "Dont look back leave it all on the track" We say it to our kids all the time. So now I am going to say Dont look back leave it all at breakfast.
