Dear Diary,

They found 2 lumps and are scheduling me for a biopsy...oh yeah, I got laid off as of 10/31/2007.

Thank you God for everything I do have and for the strength to face whatever is coming my way.  I am so grateful for all my blessings

Dear Diary,
You know God works in very mysterious ways.  I went for my mammogram at the beginning of the month.  I have been kind of worried about this because I have had pain and some weird stuff going on with my left breast.  Being the procrastinator that I am, I put things off rather than face it, especially when it comes to my health.  First I had blood work done and the Dr. told me…something is going on with your liver.  I am sending you to see a specialist.  I already knew my liver was in distress due to an ongoing liver disease I have (thank you alcoholism and addiction).  So I expected to have to face that problem.  I have an appt November 5 to see the specialist and we will face that mountain when we get to it.  Back to the mammogram, I received my results and they said there was a “finding” and further tests need to be done.  I am scheduled for a follow up mammogram on Monday.  I asked her where the “findings” were and she said the left breast…I already knew that.  She said it was nothing to worry about as of right now, they don’t have any other screenings to compare it to, it could be nothing etc.  She said the Dr. would meet with me after the mammogram Monday to answer any questions I may have.  So now the neurotic, over dramatic, fear filled, negative alcoholic, comes out in me…I am trying not to worry and I am staying positive…although I must tell you I AM SCARED. 
Here are the scenarios I have come up with
Scenario #1: I have cancer and die…the upside is I would die sober J
Scenario #2: I become flat chested and bald…which wouldn’t be so bad, I am pretty tired of carrying these things around with me anyway and I am tired of coloring my hair every 3 weeks…
Scenario #3: Its nothing, just a cyst or a “shadow” on the screening…Now this is the most likely scenario, but you know how we do things…TAKE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO AND RUN WITH IT. GEEZ!!!
The weird thing is that the letter was mailed on 10/5 and I didn’t receive it until 2 days ago.  When all I could worry about was the fires…
Speaking of the fires, I really miss Tehachapi right now.  I have never seen anything like what is going on here.  The days are filled with smoke and the nights are filled with an eerie orange glow.  But the sunsets have been amazing.  (In Tehachapi we get those without fire).  My car in the AM instead of being covered with frost, it is covered with ashes.  I almost feel guilty for going outside to smoke a cigarette.  Guilty enough to quit...NO.  The 1 million plus families who have been evacuated and 1500 plus homes that were lost is staggering.  The fire has moved away from the cities but it is not in any way shape or form contained.  So please pray for everyone.
Diary, I know my entries are usually light hearted but I am not really feeling very giddy today.
Oh., one more thing, I really wish those damn bloggers would stop posting on that one blog....GEEz...

PLEASE CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW AND CHECK OUT THE PHOTO GALLERY

http://www.nbcsandiego.com/...

The first photo is the fire moving toward Spring Valley.  I am in Lemon Grove which is the next city over.  Last check over 1 million people have been evacuated.  More then Hurricane Katrina.  San Diego is in desperate need of prayers...I am reminded every day of how blessed i am.  When i went to get in my car this AM, my car was covered in ashes like snow.  The air is thick smoky smog...So far no evacuation in my little area but my heart goes out to everyone who has lost their homes and been displaced.

Just so you all know, in San Diego over 300K homes have been evacuated.  Hundreds of homes have been lost.  All schools are closed and I havent been to work in 2 days.   It is a state of emergency and we are in serious danger.  Please send all your prayers out to those who have lost their homes and have been misplaced by the fire.  I am currently packed up and waiting in case they call us with a reverse 911 and ask us to evacuate.  I am saying my prayers and I know that whatever God has in store will happen as he sees fit.  I will keep you posted.  Your prayers are appreciated.

Julie

Dear Diary,

Well, thank God today is Friday.  I will get a well deserved rest from my blogging session.  I hate to say it but I should have been fired for all the time i spent on this damn blogging website.  Especially when the medicone mystery was in full swing.  I have a computer at home that rests in the hands of my spoiled rotten 15 year old who barely lets me into his room to use it (not that i want to tread in there anyway).  I tell you what I am confused, baffled, frightened, tired, amused, worried (about olivia..and liars), and relieved this week is over.  To tell you the truth i am sitting in front of my computer with a collander on my head covered in foil.  I have completely lost touch with reality at this point and my keyboard keys no longer have any letters printed on them.  I mean who is who anymore and who flippin cares.  I can only guess that I am probably not the only one who spent hours on the time clock, getting paid and doing nothing but BLOGGING!~!!!!! I mean geezz, I feel like a complete failure.  I may as well step out in front of a bus....just kidding.  It has been very interesting. 

My whole synopsis (get the dictionary olivia) is that I can see who is real on here and who posts to get a rise out of others and who is spiteful and who is lame or dishonest or WHATEVER!!! So as long as we stay true to ourselves and stay positive and REAL all the other sh%t will go away.  I LOVE all the different opinions but some of this is just crap!

Thank you diary for being so understanding once again....and sorry about the mess its hard to maneuver around when you have a foil covered collander on your head and a feces tube protector on..

Always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle...
From the Northwest Florida Daily News comes this story of a Crestview couple who drove their car to WalMart, only to have their car break down in the parking lot.
The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the lot. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis.

Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones.
 
Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, bent down, quickly put her hand UP his shorts and tucked everything back into place. When she stood up she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by.
 
The mechanic, however, had to have eleven stitches in his forehead

After Mr. and Mrs. Fenton retired, Mrs. Fenton insisted her husband
accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, Mr. Fenton was
like most men--he found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get
out.

Equally unfortunately, Mrs. Fenton was like most women--she loved to
browse.

One day Mrs. Fenton received the following letter from her local Wal-Mart.



Dear Mrs. Fenton,

Over the last six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion
in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may be forced to ban
both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed
below and are documented by our surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's
carts when they weren't looking.

. July 2: set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute
intervals.

3. July 7: made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
women's bathroom.

4. July 19: walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice,
"Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away."

5. August 4: went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on
layaway.

6. Sept. 14: moved a "CAUTION--WET FLOOR' sign to the carpet department.

7. Sept 15: set up a tent in the camping department and told other
shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets
from the bedding department.

8. Sept 23: when a clerk asked if they could help him be began crying and
screamed, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

9. Oct.4. looked right into the security camera while he picked his nose.

10. Nov. 10: while handling guns in the Hunting department, he asked the
clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. Dec. 3: darted around the store su&@$$iously while loudly humming the
"Mission Impossible" theme.

12. Dec. 6: in the Auto department, he practiced his "Madonna look" by
using different sizes of funnels.

13. Dec. 18. hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through,
yelled "PICK ME! PICK ME!"

14. December 21: when an announcement came over the loud speaker, he
assumed fetal position
and screamed, "Oh no, its those voices again!"

15. And last, not least, on Dec. 23, he went into a fitting room, shut
the door, waited a while, and then loudly yelled, "Hey! There's no
toilet paper in here"

Ok...even though technically and legally people are presumed innocent until proven guilty...Let's be realistic.

Charles Manson?  Was he innocent?  Ted Bundy, Richard Speck, the Night Stalker (richard ramirez), Jeffrey Dahmer, serial rapists, the green river killer...all these men were innocent until proven guilty.  But was there any doubt in anyone's mind that they were guilty? 

I mean Richard Ramirez was chased down and beaten by citizens who recognized his photo from the newspaper....It was a manhunt.  For someone who had been accused by numerous victims, eye witnesses and forensic evidence.  "Technically" he was presumed innocent.  But by his own crimes and leaving evidence behind, law enforcement had enough to put his picture out to the public and ask for help from the public to help catch him.  Should the public NOT have rejoiced because he was caught?  Should everyone have screamed "witch hunt"?  There was enough evidence for the police to chase, capture and charge him with multiple counts of murder, rape, robbery etc.  Were people rejoicing, even before he was found guilty?  YES THEY WERE..A witchhunt?  I think not.

Ok, let me tell you something that is somewhat of a head scratcher.  I am totally confused.  I have a yahoo profile, I have had it for a few years.  It has been so long since I have been on my profile and I dont really use it to meet men.  That was my intention at first but I usually ended up getting weirdos that wanted to see my underwear or wear it :). Anyway, so someone found my profile and sent me an email.  It was a long email about how loving and faithful and ready he is for a long term commitment.  How he was just dumped by a younger woman and that he is looking for an older mature woman BLAH BLAH BLAH. 

Now here comes the interesting part.  If you notice, I do not have a picture of myself on this website, but I do on my yahoo.  Anyway, along with his email he sent 2 photos with it....I couldnt believe it!!! It was one of our fellow bloggers from the good ol Tehachapi News.  Now i am in San Diego and nothing on my yahoo profile connects me to my profile here on the news.  How this person found me is a coincidence.  BUT the thing that bothers me is...in his email he says he lost his wife and he has been single for quite some time...etc.  But on his profile here HE SAYS HE IS MARRIED AND HAS CHILDREN.  The profession he sent in the email is NOT the profession that he states on the T news profile.  This blogger is someone you bloggers are all familiar with.  It is very sad and I hope that he is not really married with children but his profile on T News is only a year old and he states in his email that he is a widow since 97.  I even sent him a response and said, "______________, is that you?"  But all i got back was like an automatic response that gave me more information about what a GREAT GUY he is...I am sure if he would have actually read my response he would have been in complete shock because i called him by his T News blogger name.

Anyway tell me what you think...PS...I KNOW IT WAS HIM BECAUSE ONE OF THE PICS HE SENT WAS THE SAME ONE HE USES FOR HIS T NEWS BLOG

this is a poem my son Kevin wrote

I am from

I am from my mother
without her life wouldnt be half as fun
i am from the love and care of my brother
who was the closest thing to a father that i ever had
i am from the guitars in my room
which i play everyday to make me better
i am from my music
that centers me and it gives me all different aspects of life
without it i wouldnt be the same person that i am now
i am from the trampoline in my backyard
when i jump so high i feel like i am flying
i am from playing hide and seek when i was little
i am from life
i am from death
i am from happiness
i am from hate
i am from me
