Where my thoughts are.....

So my sisters' youngest daughter ShayLee went in this morning to have an edoscopy done! they think this poor little thing has Celiac Disease and an ulcer! She is 6!!! Apparently right before Christmas the acid was so bad it was burning her throat and tongue! So my thoughts and prayers are with them today I hope they can find out what is going on and get it resolved so little Miss Shay can get back to being her sweet adorable happy self!!!

My sister called me a bit ago to let me know that they were on their way home and things went well! While ShayLee was in recovery she started wheezing and I guess that freaked out the nurse but it was just her asthma. Afterall the air quality right now is crap! The test results from the biopsy will be in next Wed. I talked to Shay and asked her if there was any treat she wanted and all she wanted was gum! How cute is that?? So I am going to visit her between jobs and taking her some gum!

La Villa

Ok so there was a time when we thought LaVilla was going to close but a miracle happened and we are open for business and doing great! Yes, things have changed but it is still the same place we know and love! This is a picture of Me, Tammi (a client/friend) and Nikki! Tammi's new do was inspired by both Nikki and me so we call it the "SMICKI" hahaha. I have decided the pink in my hair is a "quiet rebellion" against getting older. Yes, I know I am not "old" but I am not 21 anymore....... so ya the pink hair is here to stay.... for the time being! hahahahaha Love ME!

baby mama drama!!!!

OK no not REALLY baby mama drama... I kinda just like saying that hmm.. anyway so I have been feeling really crappy this week. Went to the ER Monday morning to make sure there was not fluid on my lung... and thankfully there wasn't! I just have another case of Pleurisy... blah! and it was prob brought on by the nasty inversion here in Ut. So my chest hurts, I am tired, and well ya that is it. I spent Monday and Tues in a drug induced sleep and today I am wishing I was still there. I went to bed early and everything! I didn't have an out of control weekend in anyway either no bars, clubs etc I went to Cher's Twilight party and home and saturday I worked then watched the UFC fights. Not exactly what you see socialites doing in OK magazine but it is enough of a life for me!! Just so frustrating..... bah humbug!!!!!!!

Family!!!!

As you know I LOVE my neices and nephew! They are so very important to me and I talk about them as though they are my own. (well they ARE) HarLee is 14 and in the 9th grade and it trips me out b/c she is such a smart loving young woman and I admire her for all of her sincere thoughts. Jade is 12 and is also a loving young man! He loves his little sisters, whether he admits it or not as well as his little cousin Aariel. Aariel pretty much has Jade wrapped around her cute little finger. AttaLee is 8 almost 9 and is the smart sassy girl we all knew she would be! she is full of personality! ShayLee Ann is our little sweetheart she is very loving and tender hearted, however if you mess with her siblings she is not afraid to tell you whats what! then there is our little Aariel. My brothers only child that is 21 months. She is full of spunk and independance and fits right into our little family. I love telling stories about "my kids" and I cherish all the time I get with each of them! I also count my friends kids as my other neices and nephews!

Halloween!

Yay I am soo excited to make my costume this year! Last year I was in the hospital so I didn't get to dress up! But I appreciated all of my friends and family coming to visit me in their costumes! I am going to be either tinkerbell or a butterfly.... I know I usually like to be something gory and gross but oh well! I am really bummed my sister and her kids will be in St. George this year so I won't get to take them out :(. We are having our annual Halloween Partyat the studio so I am sure that will fill the void of my own neices and nephew being there.

I am preparing to test for my 2nd Dan (I do not know when I will test) I have been working dilligentlythese last few weeks on the required forms as well as the forms from my 1st dan. I get a little frustrated b/c of my health issues I am limited in how hard I work, the techniques I do etc. I am not use to these restrictons yet and I am learning what I can and cannot do as I go. My fellow instructors and the students are very supportive and encouraging of my goal but I still feel frustrated. Some weeks are better than others and I just when I am really getting into my training it seems like my body tells me SLOW DOWN take a break just when I am feeling great! Things are definatly improving but it would be nice to know what to expect
