Mystery Diagnosis

I have a friend who underwent a rather large heath issue some years ago. I can't exactly remember what happened but she ended up needing a transfusion and ever since then she's had one heath problem after another and no one can tell her what it definitely is. She thinks something went wrong but not only can she not find out what, she can't find anyone to go after the place/person responsible either. I would assume this is because they know about malpractice insurance and may be limited on what they can do or something. It's a hard thing to watch when she is pretty sure that there is something there and there's nothing she can do about it. I think she'll find out one day what is going on inside her, maybe it is a genetic problem after all, who knows.

Bring on the Cold

Winter has been quite harsh on my friends in the northern mid-west this year. The snow is starting to pile in and they are already wishing it over. Despite her illinois electric bill, my friend loves living there and wouldn't wish for anything else. My other friend is constantly digging herself out of the snow in MI and has a season long supply of hot cocoa LOL. It hasn't started snowing yet here and we aren't really sure if we will be covered in the icy white blanket, but so far I'm pretty glad that we aren't.

So Long Super Bowl

I'll admit, I'm a come and go fan when it comes to sports, but I'm always rooting for the home teams. It was such a disappointment that the Niners didn't win the championship this time around. We were SO close and yet Williams just ended up handing the game to the Giants on a platter when he let the ball go. Oh well, hopefully we'll get it back together and come back stronger than ever next season.

Techy Kids

I never really imagined that my kids would be so involved with computers and things at the ages they are. DD loves to play her games on my phone and her stepsister has her own netbook and monitor. I suppose I should have known since DS was already playing a myriad of games when he was the same age, but some how things seem different now. One of the things we're saving for this year are new netbooks of some form for the girls. We had tried to get them a couple of cheap netbooks too last minute for Christmas and it just didn't work out. DD really needs her own since she loves the games she does, we've moved (Skyping is common in our house now), and now travel as much as we do. Hopefully we can find them something soon, it would really help to lighten the load.
