WOWMOM....

The Title says it all....WOWMOM, its been a LOOOONNG time since I've been on here. No one I know hardly uses xanga anymore, but I've been missing it, actually. See, when xanga was "the thing" in high school, we posted meaningful (sometimes) entries that actually were about our lives and xanga weblogs were more like personal journal entries. I miss that online journaling. Don't get me wrong, I love Facebook and Myspace, but it's just not as personal as Xanga.

I will say, though, I was a little disappointed when I finally came back on xanga a few days ago and saw that it, too, was getting sucked into the overly-loaded blogging site realm with all the superfluous applications and whatnot. I miss the old, basic blogging. Then again, I'm the girl who liked MS-Dos way back when....so I guess my opinion is pretty trivial.

I'm getting ready to go do calculus now, and I'm far less than thrilled about that. =/
But hey, it's the freakin' WEEKEND....who KNOWS what will happen??

That's all for now....sorry the update was so short.

Much Love,
<3 Becca

Well, let's see what I have to report.

Kait and I went To Pullman Square to see "Freedom Writers" on Friday. Then we went to Jim's where offered to buy dinner for the both of us cos she was driving. Anyway, the total was $15.32 but I only had four dollar bills with me. FORTUNATELY, I had $21.00 in quarters and $5.00 in dimes, and Kait had 2 pennies, so I paid eleven dollars in quarters, thiry cents in dimes, and two cents in pennies. We left the waitress a three dollar tip (all in quarters) with a little note attached, explaining the situation.

Anyway, Saturday Tessa had her baby. Christian James Gillum is his name. He's sooooooo adorable. I can't wait til' they both get to come home from the hospital and I get to see him again.

Sunday I went to church and dealt with more of the same ol' crap both Sunday morning and Sunday night.

Wen't out to eat at Fazoli's with the youth group and Matt, Laura, and I blasted Wicked in the car the whole way there and home.

That's about all I've got. Today has been uneventful. I've slept all day cause I've been hurting so bad, so I think I'm gonna go do that again.

God Bless,

So I've been in pain all day, again, really bad pain, yet somehow this day didn't turn out to be so bad.
Andrew came over at around 4:00, at which time mommy was fussing with the insurance company about them not covering my Remicade, still, and me still having to deal with said pain. They just gave us more loopholes we have to jump through before we get coverage. I'm so sick of Anthem I could about scream!!

Anyway, mommy, Andrew, and I left to go to Huntington to see Jennifer at about 4:15 or so, and we got there shortly before my appointment started at 5:00. Jen came out of her office and Andrew quickly saw that his assupmtion of "short, dark hair, dark eyes" was very wrong, for she IS short, but has blonde hair and I believe blue eyes. They met each other and I actually let Andrew go in on my entire session. It was quite productive, still, which sort of amazed me. It was fun, too. I think she really liked him and I'm pretty sure he liked her as well. This pleases me, as they are two integral people in my life and I have been waiting for them to meet for quite some time.

After the appointment, the three of us went to eat pizza at Evaroni's, which is always a very pleasant experience, seeing as how Evaroni's pizza is the best ever, hands-down, no question about it.

Then, after pizza, Andrew came over til' about 9:00. We just chilled and hung out in the basement, listening to music. I finally got a chance to play the song I sung at Showcase at GSP for him.

Well, he went home and called me once he got home and we talked for a little while, bu tI decided I was going to go to bed....and I did. The problem is, I'm a terrible insomniac and probably won't go to sleep until about 2:30AM anyway, so I just decided to come post on here.

I think I'm gonna go listen to some more music now.

God Bless,

Currently Listening
Dream of a Forgotten People
By Shannon Cutts
This Mask

The best night I've had in a long time.

Well, went with Andy-Roo to the movies tonight (Well TECHNICALLY last night since it's past midnight) to see The Holiday. It was really good. We took Kat and her friend along. After the movie we walked out to the car and got in and Andrew noticed a post-it stuck on the driver's side window (He was driving my car, since I can't physically drive and because I don't currently have a license due to my wallet getting stolen and seeing as how I refuse to get one taken with my prednisone-face). There was a heart with an arrow through it drawn with black sharpie. We at first thought it was D.L. because he was working tonight and his truck was parked near my car. But I texted him and he said it wasn't. Not sure to believe that, though. Anyway, the four of us then went to get a late dinner at Taco Bell, at which they couldn't get my order right to save their life. What part of NO CHEESE ON THE RICE AND BEANS is hard to understand?? One would think it's really quite a simple order....but the woman was really nice about it, so I let it slide and didn't get upset. Anyway, after Taco Bell we all came back to my house. Kat and her friend went to the basement to watch a movie. Andrew and I talked to mommy a little bit and then went up to my room and watched The Lake House, one of my Christmas gifts from him. It is one of the better movies I've seen in a long time. The ending was absolutely fantastic!! About 3/4 of the way through the movie, though, I started hurting really bad in nearly all my joints....especially in my jaw and knees, but I've been having knee trouble all day long, so there's no surprise there. Anyway, the only joints which aren't hurting are my fingers, but they are beginning to hurt more and more as I type. Especially my fourth ring finger....I think it's because I'm coming off of the Prednisone, the anti-inflammatory medicine, because I can't fit my class ring on anymore and it hurts to bend it. I really hate this disease. Anyway, I enjoyed the movies, but more so I just enjoyed chilling with Andrew all night long. I mean, it's been a long time since we've really had a long period of best friend time. Which brings me to the fact that I'm taking him with me on Tuesday so he can meet Jennifer. She knows how much i love Andrew to death, so she's going to love him too, I'm sure. And he will like her, because she is another one of my favorite people in the world. I can't wait til' Tuesday. But more importantly, I can't wait til' our darned insurance company approves Remicade....because I'm so sick of hurting all the flipping time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I sound like I'm whining, but I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on anyone. And if you want me to be quiet about it, I'll just complain more, because I've earned a right to. I've rambled long enough.

God Bless anyome who took the time to read that....but it was prolly just Kait, and I do love and appreciate you for that!!!!

Post-Script: I found my stress ball today. The one I got while I was at Remuda. It makes me very happy to know that it's not lost. I only wish my fingers didn't hurt too bad to squeeze it hard.

Happy New Year to All....even though it's a few days late!! Sorry 'bout that!!

Hope ya'll like the changes to my page. I know the midi isn't great, but at least you can recognize what song it is, right?

Kait--I got Disney Scene It, too....we need to get together and play it.

I recently discovered a new artist on Myspace. Okay, actually SHE found ME and asked ME to be her friend, but that doesn't matter. Her name is Shannon Cutts and she is extremely talented. You can check out her song "This Mask", one of my favorites, is on my Myspace....or at least it should be. Anyway, she has a website, www.key-to-life.com . I recommend you stop by if you're interested in supporting a good charity for a good cause. Perhaps I'll ask her to sponsor my treatment center I plan on starting one day.

I'm still stuck at home, obviously, with absolutely nothing to do. Not that I FEEL like doing any thing anyway. We had to take another trip to the ER on Tuesday night for more pain meds. I think my veins are wearing out from so many IVs....not good. I feel like a druggie, but there is a point where the pain just gets so bad that there's nothing else we can do but go to the ER, so we were there from about 10PM until about 1AM on Tuesday/Wednesday. Not fun. I think I'm getting closer to my goal of being in every bed in the KDMC ER before I graduate! Hah! Just kidding....that's not really my goal, don't worry.

Well, that's about it for now....not a whole lot more to say. My life isn't all that exciting. I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year thus far!!

God Bless,
