One month ago today....

It has already been one month since my fainting accident, and I am well on my way to putting it all past me. After a roller coaster ride consisting of numerous tests, waiting and doctors appointments, I have pretty much been given a clean bill of health. I could not ask for a better outcome.

Here are some beautiful pictures of the 'OUCHY!!'

This one was taken the morning after. There is a lot of swelling, in fact,

I could not open my eye at all. The bruising hadn't really started yet though.

This one was taken a long time later, after the swelling had gone down and the bruising was starting to go away.

I still have a few issues from the fall, like I have a hard lump in my cheek that doesn't seem to be going away, I don't have feeling in part of my face, and of course, the scar. But overall, I must admit, I looks really great compared to the first time I saw it at the plastic surgeons office.

So no more calling me 'scare face' or 'scar-y', okay??

Snow Patrol is soooooooo Awesome!!

Last night, Gabe Kim and I went to the Snow Patrol concert. It was a Christmas gift I got from Gabe. I have been looking forward to this night for a looooong time. Well, anyone who has heard Snow Patrols' albums know that they are so unbelievably awesome. Let me tell you, they are ten times better live, which I think all bands should be, but aren't. Nothing is more disappointing than buying tickets to a concert to see a band live, only to discover that they don't live up to all the editing and mixing and sound adjustments made on their CD's. Well, I can not stress how completely unbelievable Snow Patrol was. Their light show, their interaction with the audience, obviously their music and lyrics , their energy that completely fit the mood of every song, every moment of it was just unreal.

Well, with all that said........I can not stand some people at concerts!! Who doesn't want to spend money to go out and have a great time?? But have you ever been to a concert where people around you just put a damper in it?? Snow Patrol have some songs where there is a build up in their song....then it stops....silence....then it starts again. It is a very powerful moment in the songs, but for some reason, the dumb snatch next to us chose those very moments to scream, giggle, yell about the beverage in her hand, whistle and just annoy the shit out of us. The guys she was with were ridiculous as well. She was the kind of girl I associate with bar trash. She has been there since she was young, and will be there well into her 50's. I swear she was about 5 seconds away from pulling up her top and showing her tits to everyone. I know this may be normal practice at some concerts, but seriously, I am convinced she had no idea who Snow Patrol even was. I was about 5 seconds away from giving her a nice punch in the ol' baby maker, a nice kung fu move right to the cooter. We decided it would be in our best interest to leave the bar and go back downstairs, where the young kids are, where we could actually ENJOY the show! It is pretty sad when you leave the adults to play with the kids, but let me tell you, it was way more rad, and they all seemed to get it.

With all that said, it was such an awesome night, and I hope to God they come back soon!!!!

30th Birthday Shout Out....

Katie, oh how I wish I could be there celebrating your 30th Birthday with you. I swear it was just yesterday we were eating cream cheese stuffed french toast served to us by a very attractive waitress, sitting by a roaring fire and just enjoying each others' coziness. You have forever made your mark on my heart pretty one.

I was browsing on Hot Topics website, which, where else would I go to think of you? Well, I am afraid to inform you that the dead girl (not Mickey) shirt is gone. I have found a few other options though, just say the word and they are yours!

First we have a t-shirt, not at all resembling the 'classic' one which I own and you envy, but it does have a dead girl on it, so the theme still applies here.




Next, we have my favorite, and I am sure it is yours as well. Everyone who knows you, knows that you love purses. Well, my God, if I haven't found the perfect bag for you!! You have two adorable puppies, and what better way to remind yourself of them than this bag?

Like I said, just say the word and they are on the way to you. I seriously hope you have a great time, whatever you do, and just remember, I am there with you in spirit. Can't you feel me next to you by the angry lake? I am there.......with you......

He's a fine piece of ass though too...

YUMMY.......

THIS ONE WILL KEEP ME HOT FOR DAYS

DAMN DOG......PULL HARDER YOU SISSY!!!

I never listened to Marky Mark back in the day, so he is not ruined for me. My God, is he fine or what?? I have seen Boogie Nights, and for those of you who haven't, GO SEE IT!! I know it is just a prosthetic, but c'mon, it's fun to visualize. And I know that in the movie Fear he plays a bad, bad guy, but that scene with him and Reese Witherspoon on the roller coaster is ......HOT!! Excuse me, I need to go take a bath in my jetted tub....

The thing about doctors is this....

I am sick of them!! Don't take that as any kind of indication that I don't want to fix my broken ass self, but I have had it with them. I have gone through so many various tests, and I still feel like we are just waiting to see what the next doctor says. I go to a doctor, pay my co-pay for her to order an echo cardiogram, then I go and have the echo cardiogram at a different hospital, then I have to go back to her again, pay her another co-pay so she can read me the results? Isn't that ridiculous? What if I didn't go back, I just wouldn't find out the results? I know, I know, it is just a co-pay, but it is the principle of it. I am paying to find out the results of a test. That my friends is FUCKED UP!! I can't even begin to count how many co-pays I have paid in the last 3 weeks, and that doesn't include any medical bills for the CT Scans, E.R., Echo, Event Monitor, etc., etc. Now I have to go and see a cardiologist, which I am sure would like to run more tests.

I am not trying to complain, I have insurance, I am lucky, I know this. I am just getting sick of seeing one doctor and being sent somewhere else for a test, then back to that doctor who sends me to another doctor----the cycle just doesn't end. No matter what happens, I want to figure out what is going on. My family means everything to me, and I will carry on no matter what, I am just getting burned out.

Gabe made one good point though, I will hit my out of pocket max. for the year pretty quick. At this rate, by the time I have knee surgery in April, it should be free. Always the light at the end of the tunnel, isn't he??

Life is Good

Disfigured

I am sure everyone has heard about my accident on the 9th. I can't even begin to tell you how many emotions I am having about the whole ordeal. I fear that they won't find a reason for it. Okay, fine, I know people faint, but looking back I have quite a history of it. This is the first time I have been hurt though. Not only hurt, but disfigured.

I am not trying to be vain, but when the plastic surgeon took my stitches out on Friday, I just about lost it. It was not at all what I was expecting. He didn't want to let me look at it, as he said it would not make me feel better, only worse. Well, that's a great sign. Well, after inspecting it in the hand mirror, I wanted to throw it against the wall. He couldn't believe it hadn't healed better, so he taped it tight and told me to leave it that way for another week. It is horrible, and I honestly don't know when I will ever be able to look at myself in the mirror without crying again.

I am sick of carrying around this heart monitor, I am sick of waiting for doctors to call me back, and I am sick of everyone telling me it wont be that bad. It's not your face, it's mine. And now I have to learn to accept it for what it is.

Charli Jane

Meet Charli Jane. Isn't she just beautiful?? You guys always hear me talk about my family in Minnesota, and she is the beautiful offspring of two of the best people I know! (Katie and Sean) She is almost 5 months in this picture.

Do you know what is even cooler about little Charli?? She was born on 'National Talk Like A Pirate Day' Well, that puts her in my top ten right off the bat! I think she needs a little pirate hat in this picture, what do you think?? Arrrrrh...

Things I want to be

I am always thinking of things I want to change about myself, and I must say, the list is MIGHTY long! Well, for starters, I want more tattoos. I want them on my back, on my arms, and I even want one on my wrist. But for some reason, I always feel like I have to reach a weight loss goal before I allow myself such luxuries. And yes, I do consider tats a luxury, do you know how fucking expensive they are?? Dang!! My current wish list includes the skull design from an earlier post, a sexy pirate chick, finishing a lower back piece with my ankh, little cherries at the side of my cha-chi, and an upper back piece including a heart with sparrows with a banner around it and stars. I will be the prettiest ever! I am getting my Monroe pierced. Gabe actually agreed, hesitantly, but he did agree.

I guess all I really want to be is a Suicide Girl. I want to lay around naked having my pictures taken with my kick ass tattoos' and piercings. That's it, I want to be a Suicide Girl!!

I DID IT!!

For over six months I have been trying to reach one goal. I want to click my heels in the air. You know, like the old 'Oh what a feeling...TOYOTA' commercials?? Well, after months of pure humiliation at trying to attempt my goal, I have finally landed the heel click. Not once, not twice, but three times in a row!! Holy shit, it was awesome. I don't know if I will ever be able to do it again, but dang, I looked good!

Don't cha wish you had goals like me? Don't cha??

Addie in Pink

She looks like a little pink cupcake, I want to lick her skull.

Blasted Big Feet!!

Look at the fucking awesome boots I could be sporting if it weren't for these big ass feet of mine!! Listen to me girls, if anyone of you so much as buy a fucking pair of these and wear them in my sight-just to make me jealous, I will kill you. You will go down sister.....I mean for reals.....just try me!

Thanks for the link June, love ya!!

Birthday Shout Outs

I'm sorry, I forgot to give some loved ones a Birthday Shout Out-

Melissa, I have neglected you once again, and now it was on an all important day, your special day Melissa, your birthday. I am a pretty shitty friend, I apologize. I hope you had a great time, got drunk, got laid, whatever it is you were hoping for, I hope you got it.

Gabey Baby, love of my life. I hope you had a great birthday, even though your loving wife has yet to purchase you a gift. I mean, you went ahead and bought me a house, the least I can do is fork over a couple bucks and buy you a fucking birthday present, right?? I am glad you are finally as old as me. Maybe now you will ease off on the old lady jokes, at least for a while!

Love ya both!

Tequila Night

Gabe and I had our first official 'Tequila Night' in the new crib. All I can say is, "Dang sista', I am getting old!!"

Our tradition of buying a $50.00 bottle of tequila and slammin' shots until we are drunken fools is not as easy as it was even a year ago. We wound up this morning laying in bed naked, not having any idea of what happened the previous night. We both felt sick, and it wasn't until Gabe threw up that he started to feel better.

I guess I should stick to good ol' Merlot. I may still wake up naked, but I have a better recollection of what got me that way!

I WANT THEM!!!!

Meet my new obsession.... I want to lick them, I want to have sex in them, I want to make love TO them, I WANT THEM, I WANT THEM, I WANT THEM!!! I swear to you, I will never get over my Dr. Martens' fetish. It may be so 90's to you, but long live the 90's I say.

I actually wanted to get married in a pair of Dr. Martens' They were silver glitter 8 holes and the were perfect!! My Mom said she would disown me if I did, so do you know what I ended up wearing?? Ballet slippers! Do I look like a girl who should be wearing fucking ballet slippers??? I think not!!

Favorite Pictures

Here are two of my favorite recent pictures-



First, we will label this one, 'Merlot' Everyone who knows me, knows I love Merlot!!





This one we will label 'Boobs' God, I seriously love my new bra. I look like some amateur porn star stuck in traffic taking pictures of her boobs.....oh......wait a minute....hmmmm....never mind!!

And to all those ladies out there saying, "Heather, what is the big deal, my boobs are big without the help of an amazing new bra" I say, BITE ME!! I am just starting to learn the power of boobs, as mine have always been hidden under dark heavy clothing.

Yah Boobs!!

Urban Meyer Rocks!!

Man do I miss Urban Meyer! Watching the Utes while he was our head coach was amazing. Gabe actually got to go to the Utes/BYU game while he was coach. What a game, I was totally jealous. In two years, he led us to an undefeated season and a victory at the Fiesta Bowl. It was right before the Fiesta Bowl that Florida announced that they had made him an offer, and he accepted. How could you deny that right? Hmmmm, you can stay in UTAH and coach, or go to a major University and coach in Florida, what a tough decision, it must have been so hard for him....

Do you know what would be rad? If he decided to go pro and coach for the Vikings!! Good god, the Vikes would make it to the Superbowl fo' sho'!! Superbowl, fuck the superbowl, I would be excited if they made it to the playoffs!!

But none the less, Urban Meyer ROCKS!! And how cool is his name? Who gives birth and looks at this tiny little human and says, "I am going to name him Urban" I like it, it is unique beyond belief.

Let the healing begin!

I've got your current home owner right here!

That's right, as of 10:00 a.m., Gabe and I closed on our house. I never thought this day was going to come. We had problems, right up until yesterday when they were trying to get out of paying $4,000.00 toward closing that they agreed to. I am writing a novel of all the things that went wrong with this process, but for some reason, today it doesn't seem to matter. We can start getting our lives back in order, and move forward.

I want to thank everyone for their constant support. Without you guys allowing me to bitch and vent my frustrations, I do not know where I would be. It is so great to know that I am fortunate enough to have such awesome people in my life, you truly rock, each and everyone of you!

As my cousin Katie said, "No house building in 2007...NONE!!"

New Years Resolutions

Here we go again, another year to reflect upon, and resolutions to make for the new year.

First off, I would like to talk about the things I did wrong in 2006.

1- Deciding to build a house. Everyone who knows me is sick of hearing about our house problems, as am I. I am chalking it up to the worst decision I have made. Not just for 2006, but for the entire 31 years I have wondered this Earth. I guess the only consolation is it is just about over, and I can start focusing on my family and getting us back to a normal routine. I know that one day we will look back on this situation and just shake our heads in disbelief. I love our new house, I love that it fits us and that we are going to have awesome memories there.

2- Diet and Exercise. You know, the two most important things to ensure a healthier lifestyle? Well, this year I sucked. I didn't just suck a little, we are talking about full on lock jaw sucking here! It seems so simple, doesn't it? Diet and exercise, eat better, move your body a little. Then why can't I JUST DO IT!!!

3- Lost various items. This one will continue to be on the list year after year. Gabe, I know it is the only flaw you find in me, but dang, what a doozie eh? We won't dwell on this too long, as even I could not possibly remember all the times I lost or left a wallet, cell phone, purse or keys somewhere. Let's hope this year proves to be better.

4- Discovery of certain food items.

Cake Batter Ice Cream from Coldstone
Beto's Breakfast Burritos
Sweet Potato Fries
Diet Pepsi Jazz/Strawberries and Cream and Black Cherry Vanilla

I am sure there are others, but those were the most memorable

My 2007 New Years Resolutions

1- Drink more alcohol. I need to bring up my tolerance level while exploring new beverages that give me a happy feeling.

2- Talk less about my sex life. It only brings others down, and sometimes I feel like I am bragging.

3- Travel more. This one may be hard to make, as our travel budget is pretty much nothing thanks to the new house, but none the less, something I would like to do.

4- Diet and Exercise. Let the cliches live on.

Well, there you have it! 2007 should be a rad ass time.
