on the 27th anniversary of my birth

i'm considering starting a 365 project today... and for some reason i'm drawn to the idea of writing a blog every day for an entire year. it seems like a bit of a crazy committment considering i'm the person that has tried (and failed) 3 times to do a 365 photo project. if i can't take a photo a day how in heaven am i supposed to write a blog every day? hopefully i'll be able to stick with it.

i think its a little weird that on my birthday all i really desire to do is take the dogs to the dog park. just to enjoy the beautiful day that is today, sunshine and clear skies, with my awesome lab puppies and my husband to be... maybe this is a sign that i'm getting old? or maybe life has been so crazy lately that i couldnt possibly handle another exciting thing thrown onto my plate?

speaking of crazy life, and things unexpected... i went to the doctor today for a checkup and to talk about when we were planning surgery to remove the GIGANTIC dermoid cyst on my right ovary, and she tells me that i shouldnt be lifting over 10-15 lbs, standing for long periods of time, and gives me a list of varied restrictions. i took the short walk over to the unit and spoke with my manager while i was there about this. apparently i'm unable to work while these restrictions are in effect, so i had to apply for fmla today. i guess the goverment is good for something?

so i guess i'll just have to see what other excitement the day has planned for me :)

oh yeah, happy fat tuesday!

they found every mud hole there was...
