addicted...  
Ok so I'm reading "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer and and I can't put it down. I'm a little over halfway through and I want to read the second as soon as I'm done. So what do I do? I go on Amazon and order not only the second book, but the third and fourth as well! I just wanted some videos on the movie website....I CANNOT wait til the movie comes out! I've seen two dates either Nov 12 or Dec 12. Shit I just realized I'll be in Greece if it comes out in November! Guess I'll have to wait till I get back to see it lol.

I'm just mad I waited so long to read these books. I guess what put me off for as long was it was a Young Adult book. Well so is Harry Potter and I've read those!

Back to the book!

Doctors Appointments and Fangirling  
I had both clinic check ups today. I met my new cancer doctor, who also treated my mom's breast cancer. The doctor at Loyola was just rude when we called to set up my appointment, so I decided that's it, I want to change doctors. I like him for the most part. I go again in one to two years. But I mostly got a refresher in human reproductivity lol. I guess it's because I'm 30 now and even though I don't have a husband or boyfriend and am NOT looking to get pregnant, the time is getting close to answering the question....can I even GET pregnant when I want to? My doctor said that young woman who were treated for leukemia with chemo around my age can have fertility problems later...about 40-50 percent don't ovulate after they receive treatment. I remember my period went away for a few months when I started treatment. And lately they've been regular. i can count out the days and get my period within 2-3 days, give or take. The fact that I may not even be ovulating scared the crap outta me. I mean I knew given what I've been through, having a baby might be difficult for me. I know I'd be high risk. But not being able to conceive at all...

So when I got home after my long day, I searched out and found something that gave me great relief. I even broke down and cried I was so happy to be pretty sure my body was releasing eggs during my cycle. It will be too much info than anyone wants to know about me. But I found an article about cervical fluid and how it relates to a woman's cycle. Here It Is. Let's just say...I have that during my cycle. I was actually searching to find out more about the body temperature thing, but found that article. I feel better just knowing that I'm most likely normal that way and the chemo didn't stop the ovulation process completely.

I also saw my hip doctor at Loyola. Good news there. I'm still ok. Some wear in the right hip liner. He wants me to come back in a year. Which I didn't argue with. I asked about ballpark how many years before I have to have surgery to replace the liners. He said within five years. So that's pretty much in line with what was said originally of 10-20. It's been 12 already and I'm still going strong.

And my fangirling of the day....Michael Phelps of course! Who ISN'T in love with this guy?! I watching him on the "Today" show this morning. He's kind of a nerd, but I'm a nerd too lol. I think the whole country is in love with Michael! I saw the girls on TV...marry me Michael...my olympic dream...kiss Michael Phelps, one world one kiss. I actually liked that one lol! I was like why didn't I think of that?! The guy breaks records, makes history and seems to be the same guy he always was. That's awesome. So yeah right now he's my crush. Move over AJ McLean lol! Plus he's tall...I've always had a thing for tall guys.

Well, I better get to bed soon. It was nice to have the day off, but it's back to work tomorrow. What's really cool is I have the weekend off, so it's a four day work week for me!

Dude...  
ONE ONE HUNDREDTHS OF A SECOND!!!!!!!!! Michael Phelps has tied with Mark Spitz for SEVEN gold metals in a single Olympic games!

Holy Shit!

Watching it I was like go go GO! I wasn't sure if he'd make it....even his mom in the stands thought he'd get silver. But when he won....it was so sweet...his mom was shocked and she had to sit down! It was so sweet and cute!

Me so happy for him! I'm so looking forward to tomorrow's relay!

Holy crap! That Men's Relay was AMAZING!!!!!!! GO USA! Michael's hopes are still alive!

And the French had to trash talk too....hahahahahahha!

I'm turning into such an Olympics dork lol. It's all I've been watching this weekend.

Wow....it's all I can say.

A heartbreak for Katie Hoff though. She lost her first gold to England....she almost had it, but was beaten at the last second. She got silver though.

Update On My Week  
Mostly work. Haha. I've been working on my website most nights and I should have it done this weekend...yay! I worked this morning and it was pretty slow. Then went home, worked my abs out (it's been awhile so they hurt for a couple days lol!). My sister and her husband looked at houses this afternoon, so I helped watch the crazy boy. I gave him a bath and got soaked. He loves the splashing! And I just had to wear a white shirt. He was very affectionate today and I got a hug when he woke up from his nap and I got a kiss!

I came home and took a shower, then called Jen to see if she wanted me to come back. We wanted to watch "The Original Kings of Comedy" in honor of Bernie Mac, but she didn't call back. She was pretty out of it.

So I've spent the rest of the evening working on the last few files of my site and watching prime time Olympic coverage. So happy for Michael Phelps! I hope he get his gold metals! I'm hoping Chicago gets the 2016 games. If we do, I so want to go to something. Swimming or gymasatics. Opening ceremonies. My favorite part is the parade of nations. I tear up watching the USA team go through. I also got teary when China came in. I was thinking how awesome it would if it was the USA team in Chicago.

I got my order from Amazon today. I got a DVD with fun stuff like a fireplace and fish tank lol. I ordered a travel book on Greece (very good info so far) and "Twilight". I've seen this book on goodreads and paperbackswap and I'd like to read it before the movie comes out. Because I know I'm going to want to see it. Everyone seems to rave about it. It's probably going to be the new "Harry Potter" craze.

I'm starting to spend more money on clothes and stuff. Got new underwear, bought new stuff at Old Navy, ordered a swimsuit from Target.com. I've got some capri pants on my list for my Wal-Mart trip tomorrow and I'd like to get some new shoes. I already found what I want from Sketchers.

Plus I just paid the final amount...the dreaded fuel surcharge. Let's just say I wish it was a payday week. I'm broke as a joke (or feel like it). But I'm going to Greece!

New Layout!  
Yay I changed my layout! Was in a Lost mood. I haven't worked on my site, but I have been adding more Lost icons here. I'm over 300 of 5000 now! LOL.

I spend my Saturday cleaning and went to look at an apartment. It was basically a hole. LOL! But I think I had to look just to appreciate what I have now. Call me crazy but I like the process of moving. I have the urge, but it'll be hard to find a nice place that I can afford. I have it pretty good here though. Would love to have central AC and HD dish (which I might get through Dish Network....maybe after my vacation).

Blah...have nothing else to say. Maybe I'll add more icons....maybe I'll play on the Wii. I'm not sure yet.

It's August now. Three months and I'll be in Greece! Today was long but it's over now. Work wasn't too busy and time went by slowly. I got groceries after work. I didn't need much this week. I've been doing so well, eating better that I treated myself to Mountian Dew and Doritoes. Being that I don't drink the Dew much anymore, the caffeine will keep my up for awhile. But it's so good!

I finally put my movie posters up. They look good! Tomorrow I plan on cleaning. Sunday I think a beauty day, do my nails and toes. Haha...I'm such a girlie girl.

I have only one more story to reformat, than Under The Sheets will be done! Then I'm going to start working on the Fan Fic Links.

I'm thinking about redoing the layout here. Maybe I'll do that tonight since I have the caffeine in me!

Chirp, Chirp  
Yep, that's what it is. I can hear crickets, it's so quiet around here. The other night it was S. Then J. Emailed J most of the day yesterday. We both had internet connection issues last night and he didn't get back on. I even had trouble getting back on. I emailed him this morning and he hasn't been on all day.

I hate that he makes me feel close to him, then disappears for weeks or months. By just one day I'm back again. I've invited him to come see me, maybe next weekend. He's not fighting me on it, which is kinda weird. I tried to get him to call, leave me a message, but still can't get him to budge on that. But I think we're both ready to meet. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. But I think it's half way too late for that.

I'm tired. Just waiting for my laundry to get dry, then I'm probably going to go to bed.

I've been listening to the Mamma Mia! Soundtrack since I saw the movie. I love the song "Lay All Your Love On Me".
