MOM UPDATE:

It's always nice to know how much people you hardly even know have your best interest and truly care.
My mom's surgery was a success! I am so grateful. Now we are just waiting for her to wake up.
Thanks to everyone who sent positive vibes our way.

Really, hospitals are filled with very strange and unhappy people...it makes for good people watching though.

ERRRGH!!!

so now that I have my brand spankin' new laptop I thought I'd be able to fiddle more with my blog. Not so much. I am entirely frustrated so it will be in limbo until I decide otherwise!
