Happy New Year!

As promised I am starting my new life.
I am tonight in an awesome Hampton Inn in Youngstown Ohio. As I did on Jan. 2, 2000 this Jan 2, 2012 I am on the road with a new job. The last time I landed in St. Paul Minnesota. I was working as a traveling x-ray/mammography tech. Now I am a Floating Stereotactic Specialist.
There are still many things in my old life that I face everyday. From my messed up colon to my husband calling at odd times. I still have questions that need answering about who I am and where my life is going. But I am looking forward to finding who this complicated person is and what will make her happy not just drive her insane.
Believe it or not I had someone the other day say I was just too nice for them to hang out with. Lord all I wanted was someone to laugh and joke with. I guess baking a pineapple upside down cake after they had said it was thier favorite was way too much. Whatever. Hell it is one of my favorite cakes. So I got to eat some too!
I do not want people trying to "set me up" with their friends, after all I am still married. I want friends to hang out with and people to have fun with. Anyone wanna play pool when I get back to NOVA. Or when I get the apartment ready I want tons of peeps coming to my party. (Probably Saturday Feb 18th). Wow do I miss a social life :-)
I did spend some time with my darling daughter Joy today. She made me some awesome crepes.
The flight here was uneventful as was getting my rental car.
I guess that is it for now. I can not put down here just how excited and stoked I am. I am going to go get my swim suit on and go relax in the pool. Sweet dreams everyone. Have a fabulous year!

As my first blog here I need to say I am not wholly comfortable with getting my thoughts and feelings out for everyone to share. So this will most likely on touch the surface. I started this today after reading both my step-daughters blog and my daughter-in-laws blog. It was after reading both that I realized just how different every on perceives the world around them. There are people that look at adversity and pout and say why me, and others that face the challenge and say to themselves, this stinks just let me make it through. I guess it depends for me what the situation is as to which way I go. It was not to long ago that I was told I am a doer. If it comes to getting things done I would rather do it and get it over with then not. I believe that is super true when it comes to work. Not so much at home. However, I am hoping to change that a bit. Today is the first day of my goal to lose 25 pounds by September. As most of my family and friends know I have certain dietary issues. I am

Addictions versus Choices

Question: Is an addiction a personal choice or a chemical/ physiological uncontrollable impulse? For me this is a seriously difficult question. I know some people out there believe that addictions can be easily overcome by nothing more then willpower. Yet everyday in the ER I work in I see meth users and alcoholics. They stand on street corners getting handouts "for food" and spend that money getting drunk or high. Never eating , or caring for themselves. I know some alcoholics that binge drink on the weekends. Never drinking at all when they have to be ready for work. It is ruining there lives and yet they still choose to do it. Is it by choice? Or is it a compulsion that overrides their thought processes to where there is no choice any longer? Why are some people able to overcome this compulsion and others can not? To me an addiction is something you can not controlled by ordinary means. In other words, a person can not simply say I will not smoke anymore, and walk away.

Trip to Spain: The journey there

Yesterday I left California for my first trip out of the continental United States. My stomach was all knotted up and I could hardly sleep the night before. However, I was okay with that, as I believed I would be able to get some sleep on the plane. Getting to SFO was not a problem. Rich drove me. We left at about 1pm so I knew I would be there at least 2 hours before the flight. We had weighed my bags before leaving so I was pretty sure there would be no problem there. On the way to SFO I realize that Rich had placed all my bags, including my carry-on in the back. The only reason this was bad was I wanted to double check a few details before I got to the airport. Oh well, it could wait. Then I really looked at him and could not believe what my eyes told me. Did I not just tell him the other day that I would appreciate him looking at least presentable when we go out? Not in stained or ripped clothing please. Matching clothes would be nice. He was actually wearing a yellow and gr
