And it comes full circle...

Been feeling sickly, and not so great. Went to the doctor today, and it looks like the Remicade is not going to work for me any more. It also looks like I need to go back on the chemo. This is just so depressing, and unnerving. I was so happy when I got off of it. I guess I am just a little overwhelmed, and way stressed out. My parents have been planning to move out, and that just adds to the stress. Looks like I am going to be sick every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

I MISS MY LIFE!

On a brighter note - My bubba come back!! I go up to the Ontario Airport tomorrow to pick Devin up. It seems like he has been in Idaho for YEARS!! I miss him so much.

To be a cat...

In my house...

If there is an after life, that is what I would like to come back as...

an indoor "cat of color."


(yes, they match my decor...a mistake? I think not!)

Buy Handmade!

I don't know if you know about this, but Etsy is my new favorite site. I go on everyday. What is really fun....you find something you like, add it to your favorites, and then click to see what is favorites by your favorites. It reminds me of how we used to surf the web. One link leads to another....

I got Ro a cape from this lady...
um, yes, it is Orange, and it is fabulous!!

Health update...infusion went well on Wednesday the 21st. I also got my last shot in my knee for lube. I also got another cortisone shot in my left shoulder. So I had a few needles in me. Things can only get better. Still really tired.

Croc Heels

For those that know me, you know that I LOVE crocs. I love the comfort, and ease, and just plain everything. I am just not sure how to feel about these.

I guess you should just be greatful that they don't have them in my size.

Planning a trip to Japan....

Ok, for those that know me, I love to plan things to death. When I got the chance to plan a trip to Japan, I jumped right on it. (well didn't actually jump) I have been doing some research, and I found this... Hello Kitty flight

Now I love Hello Kitty - actually chococat, as much as the next packrat that was never allowed to buy anything "useless." but this really scares me. I think it is just the thought of being with 200 little kids in an airplane singing along with the Japanese Hello Kitty voice over. I need a nap cause I am getting a headache.

I feel honored and blessed to know

Miss Tara Whitney. Not only is she a wonderful artist, but she has one of the biggest hearts. She photographed my family last year, and then a few months after did a shoot of my bestfiends on thier sailboat. If you can get her to capture your family as she has mine, consider yourself lucky.

Scrapbook Royalty

Scrapbook royalty is one of the coolest ideas I have seen. If you are into scrapbooking, and helping people, that this is for you. I have been to one of these events, and you will be surprised how get they are. Really above and beyond any and all of my expectations. The causes are great, and so are the people that run it! Sign up for the newsletter, and get updates often. Also, I just donated a ton of stuff, so look for it to be auctioned off in the next year!

easy way to help...

I have a favorite search engine - GOOGLE - Love me some google. Gmail is one of the best e-mail servers I have ever used. With that being said, there is a seach engine that you can use to actually help. GOODSEARCH

Everytime you use it, they donate money to your chosen charity.

I switch between bestfriends, and save darfur.

happy searching.

movies

I love movies. I like to watch them once, or maybe even twice, but that is about it. So it is really not worth it to buy them, so I need to rent them. I have found that the best way to rent movies is netflix.

Not only will they mail you movies, but you can also instant watch a lot of movies. They have changed this to UNLIMITED internet watching with their cheapest plan. $10 You get one movie, at a time, and you get to watch things on your computer. LOVE IT!

Fun on the net

Like I said earlier...I spend a lot of time in bed with my laptop. Here is something that I do.

I love Kaboodle! It is great to be searching the net, find something that you like, and put it on a wish list. LOVE IT.

1. Sign up on Kaboodle.

2. Download the icons - they will be in the tool bar. You can also right click on an item in a web page.

3. A pop up menu from Kaboodle will come up with your item and a description, you can add what size you want, color, anything else.

4. Click on the submit button.

5. The pop up window disapears, and you item is added to your list, and you are back to the original website.

I can spend hours organizing, and adding to my wish list. You can also add things to your wish list from someone else's' list. You can also connect friends to your wish list.

Look me up, and see what I love! crazyrachel

If you do check this out - check out the angel stories.

This is just my personal opion

But I just have to put this out there.
I think that Americans need to educate themselves about things that are happening around the world. I remember learning in high school about isolationists. I also believed that it was a good thing. I still do. AS long as you remain isolated. The way that the this country is - ie all of the outsourcing, it is no longer possible. These are somethings that are on the top of my list.

1. Tibet Tibet. I feel that you should try to educate yourself.

2. A lot of products are made in China because it is cheaper. They do not regulate, or have the same standards as most western countries. Even the cleanliness is in question. Yes it is cheaper, but really, is it worth it?

3. Darfur - pronounced - (Dar Four) This is a cause near and dear to me. THIS IS GENOCIDE. It really touched me, and upset me that friends can't find it on a map. All I ask is just spend 2 minutes educating yourself.

Again, I am not saying that you need to save the world, just know what is going on.
