CT scan on Tues., results in on Wed....

and when it's that quick it's not good. I have been living with three bulging discs (two mild, one severe with nerve impingement) and a spur all on my neck since the accident. The doctors are actually surprised I am walking around the way I am. The only way to fix it is with surgery on my neck. I really don't want surgery on my neck but I haven't been living like I did before so I probably should. Still need to talk more with my doctor.

Started my water exercises this week. They are geared toward older folks with osteoporosis, it works on your core. I'm not joking when I say don't let the little old ladies fool you, it doesn't look like much when you watch but it really is. They are a fun group though, always cracking jokes. Well except for the poor old lady who doesn't like their perverted jokes, but that makes it even funnier. :)


Here's some homemade buttons I made this week. I figure it's not bad for the first time and without using a rolling pin with the clay. :)


Went for a walk with the family and took a few shots of the kids, these are some of my favourites...

This is not posed, it's Mikhail being cheeky and thinking he was going to trick me by getting ready to run the other direction before I could get a shot, but I knew it was coming ;)

These are Mikhail's new favourite shoes, rubber boots. He doesn't fit his Elmo shoes anymore, they won't work in the rain anyway. He is SO happy he can jump in puddles now. :)

Here's my layout for Lotus Paperie this week, use your ribbon scraps.

Here's another quick recipe for ya. This is one of our favourites. If you don't like spicy go light on the red-pepper flakes.

have a great weekend

thanks for peeking
