Fibroids, Smiroids!

So the top of the year I was told by a physician that I had a really large fibroid and it needed to be removed. Anger and Confusion set in. Anger because I knew I had them cause a former OB/GYN told me so, but he said they were small and insignificant and since they caused no pain I didn’t need to take any action. Fast forward to two years ago when I broached the subject with another doctor who said the exact same thing, and now they are an issue. So I was angry that my body was starting to fail me. Confused because I didn’t have any pain of other symptoms that warranted the removal of the fibroids, not too mention removal would call for surgery with a long recovery period.

So I sought a second opinion and it was confirmed that since my getting up in age and if I wanted to have kids, that I’d need to have the fibroid removed, heal then get pregnant.

And I had surgery June 29, 2009……………………..

Social life……What’s that?

I’ve been out a few times since I last posted. I have a girlfriend that wants to check out all that the DC/MD area has to offer as far as parties. And well I tagged along once or twice. But what really jump started my way party going was a party filled weekend in May. A guy I went to junior high and high school with had a party on a Friday night and of course I was more than willing to attend, especially since it was since MD so I didn’t have to worry about parking! So I hit that up and had a blast. A few other junior high pals came thru and it was on……..

The next night (Saturday) well a high schoolmate had his party in DC and I felt compelled to hit that up as well……and of course despite my not drinking much I had a good time as well. My feet were killing me by the time I got home. Oh and need I mention hubby was home well before me on both nights……..LOL, funny how he stays out late when I’m home but when I go out he’s home before me, riddle me that, LOL.

Let’s see then there was Friday night at Hal.f Note that was interestingly PACKED. A Saturday night at the same place had me grooving to a new all woman band, they are really nice. There were a few other gatherings that followed, but they weren’t that note worthy.

And then we had a junior high school gathering, and the turn out was nice and decent. The responses were slow to come in, and then a hiccup with one of the guys that helped to plan it caused us to switch venues at the very last minute. But all in all, everyone that attended said they had a good time and want to get together again. We joked and clowned each other, took loads and loads of pictures and well we were the last people in the place that night.

These are folks that went to junior high school together, go figure. All thanks in part to F.acebook and people wanting and willing to get together. And I look forward to many other gatherings with these and more people I went to school with.

My high school reunion is coming up in August and I’m hopeful that many will participate for a weekend of fun.

Hey Blog World!

So much has gone on since I last posted. I’m sure I’ll forget to mention something. Its probably easier for me to break down everything in several posts instead of hurting your eyes with one long and drawn out post. I’ll start with school:

School is going fine. I passed my spring class, the one that required 5 written papers in addition to a group project. It was abit touch and go there for a sec and I had to pull out some aces for the final two papers since I missed the third one. But in the end I passed and I can definitely say my writing improve some due to those assignments. Some of the assignments submitted by others forced me to up my game.

I’m taking a summer class as well; it requires two papers both of which are due at the end of the semester. Oh and I have a final exam, go figure………there are about two questions from the textbook that we are required to respond to in the conference in addition to responding to two classmates every week. Lastly, there are two open book exams given one of which I passed with 88 with a comment on more wording needed.

And I’m happy to report that I have one more class to finally complete the requirements for my very first undergraduate degree. YAY ME!
