Leg Surgery!!! 11-23-09

Okay so I have not had allot of surgery's just tubes in my ears when I was very young, and like an ingrown toenail removed...yeah I know discussing, but last Monday I had a surgery that my mother had just a few months earlier on my leg to remove a few varicose veins. It runs in the family, my moms dad had them and my uncle and my mom and so on...they think I may have gotten them at a really young age because of all the pouncing I did when i tumbled allot in cheer leading but I'm very fortunate that we were able to get them removed. They never really bothered me or hurt but they say that whenever you get older they can and they can also cause blood clots and a few other health issues so I was very fortunate to get them removed. I was pretty nervous going into surgery it took them about and hr. and a half and i was in recovery for about another two hours and I asked a ton of questions before they put me asleep. I like to know exactly what they are going to do to me and I also think its very unprofessional if they don't tell me who everyone is. When I was just on the surgery table right before i was put under there were like six people in there and I asked the doctor who are all these people and he told me they were like surgery techs. and ect. but I told him I just have to know because I get really nervous. Anyways everything turned out good and I'm healing well and I'm very blessed!!! 

Decorating the Christmas tree!!

Every year my most favorite part about Christmas is decorating the Christmas tree with my brother and my mom we usually all three do it together, that would be the reason I'm up so late is because I just finished helping mom and we had a blast! We made some hot chocolate with marsh mellows, listen to Christmas carols and when we got all done we took some pictures and then said our prayers and my brother went to bed and so did mom. It took us about a good two and a half hours because we took a break here and there to rest but it was really fun I just love trying to get all of the ornaments in the right places and helping mom fan the branches just right! Shopping for all the family is great fun especially when you know you've found just the right gift to make some one happy but it can get a little stressful with not allot of time and long lines everywhere putting up the house decorations outside just isn't my thing either because I cant stand to be so cold for along period of time, I do like to rap presents but its just not as easy and fun as decorating the tree.. therefore decorating the Christmas tree with mom and my little brother is my favorite thing about getting in the Christmas spirit because we get quality time together and its not stressful at all!  

Snow!!!

Snow is absolutely great i love to play in the snow because it can be so much fun and i really enjoy it whenever everyone gets together to ride fore wheelers and pull each other on a sled in the sleigh. Sometimes its great to just sit by the window or next to the door with family and drink hot chocolate and just watch the snow fall. If it weren't for snow id really rather just get rid or winter because I'm a big baby about how cold it gets and getting out in it unless of course there is snow on the ground because then I can just have tons of fun! I love Christmas and everything i just don't enjoys freezing every time i go outside and if I have school I'm stuck carrying my coat around all day and thats just annoying. Another thing I love about the snow is whenever its like the third or forth snow mom always lets me and my brother make some snow ice cream we use milk and some vanilla flavoring and a little splenda and its very good i would rather have it than regular ice cream! Well that pretty much sums it up about how i absolutely love the snow and I'm hoping that we get some soon!!! 

Veterans!!!

I cant even begin to think about all the things that our veterans have been through just because for some reason its just makes me sad to think that some of the things they've been through has really happened. They must be very brave and have lots of pride for our country. November 11th only comes once a year and we celebrate veterans day which i think is great, it makes me feel good to know that we have a day just to say thanks to all of our veterans. Just imagine, they put their life on the line at one point in time, that is some amazing people!!! and we need to give them thanks and all the respect in the world for what they have done. I consider veterans as hero's because they help save our country and they are brave enough to do all that they do, to me that is a hero when you put your life on the line for someone else! So just remember to say thanks to all of our veterans.

Economics!!

Econ has really been interesting this year and i have learned allot of new stuff maybe that I had an idea about but I really didn't know! Its all about our economy and how things work and the reason why the demand and the supply of things go up and down and all the things that affect it. Econ just has been a new experience because i had never had a class like this before all my other classes are just the usual ones from all the years before so it has been fun having a new class to talk about something different for a change. We also learned about price gouging, like people who tried selling generators for more money during the ice storm and i never knew that that was illegal or that it actually had a name! I was just impressed to learn something that i really was interested in and that had to do with my everyday life besides the normal subjects that i was used to learning. It has been great so far!!!!
