No need to worry...

Not sure if I shared or not, but a few weeks ago I started having SVT attacks. 2 were long enough to send me to the ER, once in a lovely flashing ambulance. My heart has decided to run marathons without alerting the rest of my body.  So anyway after I felt like an idiot (right or wrong) the ER docs said I was having episodes of SVT. I need to see my doctor, the problem is my doctors office was flooded after a nasty Nor'Easter came through and so I had to go to another doctors office instead. The Army's health care system frequently leaves a lot to be desired, I am very greatful that I have it though. So I saw another doctor who said sorry I can't help you, you need to see your Primary Care Manager, now 2 weeks later I finally have an appointment to do just that.

I've been having frequent crazy heartbeats pretty consistently, sometimes it feels very hard and fast sometimes I get very strange butterflies/fluttering in my chest. It is concerning. I am doing the "exercises" the Dr's reccomend to make the SVT stop, and it's working, although it's not very convenient or practical to bear down while someone is sitting in your office. It makes for akward glances and quite a bit of 'splannin.

I hope today I get a few answers along with the referral I've been working on getting to the Cardiologist....

The girl who scheduled my appointment today didn't think I was very funny when I was explaining how irritated I was with the health care system, apparently they don't like it when you say "they're killing you". Okay enough rambling...

Oh and Mom if you're reading this, eveything will be fine!

Dining Room Makeover...finally!

Ok so here goes... months later and with a few odds and ends to still be picked up and placed in the room, I am finally ready to show you our dining room makeover...

Before
I think all in all it looks so much better, I definitely need a new rug and few more art pieces, for now I'm happy though!

So much to catch up on!

I swear when I get home after homework, cooking dinner and what seems like never ending Christmas decorating, I will be catching up with you my dear Blog. I am seriously behind, but I have LOTS to share...

Now how do I check to see if "V" is reading this Blog??? I would love to share my gift ideas for him!

Do not pass this up!

One of my favorite Blog friends Jen over at Tatertots and Jello (which by the way sounds good because i'm starving) is having 2 AMAZING giveaways over at her Blog right now. So run! Don't walk and enter here for a TWILIGHT Giveaway and here for the CUTEST ADVENT CALENDAR EVER!

Oh and I ordered something from Jen's Etsy shop for someone on my gift giving, but I can't say for who or what it is just in case they may be lurking around the ol' blog here...

Just not feeling it...

I'm trying I really am! I love this time of year I swear I do, but I'm feeling a little 'holiday block'. I'm just not feeling all the usual[ feeling I get this time of year. I feel very rushed and I feel like there is WAY too much to do and I just don't have the time to get it all done. What do I do?? How do I get the good feelings back? I think today I will take the time to get organized or at least some idea of organized.

What may help is that I got my Ornament Swap partner from The Mrs.! This is exciting! I love meeting new people on the blogosphere and how fun it will be to read and find a perfect ornament for someone I don't really know!!

Hopefull she's a T-Bow fan and I can get her this, lol, like I've just ordered myself!! Or maybe she's a Twilight Fan and would like this! Or she could be a dog lover and this ornament from Etsy could be perfect!

Hmmm, I guess I will just have to wait and find out.... maybe I'm starting to feel the holiday spirit a little after all!!

Draggin...

I am seriously draggin' butt today. Getting up at 5:30am yesterday morning and not going to bed until 3:30am this morning, oh wait and waking up at 6:30am again, may be killing me today. The real point though is that 'M' and I

LOVED NEW MOON!

Oddly enough this is one of the few books to big screen jobs I've seen where they stay pretty close to the book. I was very impressed. I'm being good and not giving anything away for those of you who didn't have the luxury of staying up at unnatural hours to see the movie, but hurry up and go see it, it's worth it.
