I have not worked since December 1st, 2010. I was in the hospital on an emergency basis, and then I was in the hospital again 3 weeks later. I had a lot of down time during the months of December and January, and even though I was pretty sick, I managed to get some long overdue projects done. While working on one of my projects I ran across this article in Real Simple Magazine, and thought I

many of you who know me might describe me as crazy, funny, even goofy and all of these descriptive words would be right. i love to act silly, and i love to make others laugh. seeing people laugh and enjoy themselves gives me so much pleasure! laughing also allows me to mask my pain in a productive way. i suffer from a disease called ulcerative colitis. there are millions of people who have

Yesterday a knock on the door completely surprised me.When I opened it, an elderly delivery man washolding this arrangement of beautiful flowers. Of course, this picture does not do them justice!Look below the flowers and you'll see a bee! These flowers were sent from my California Cousins! No matter how much we worry about the cost of others sendingflowers to us, the beauty of the flowers

I am still very sore from falling off the counter in the bathroom yesterday. My ribs are very, very sore.My cousins are coming to Florida today, to spend about 4-5 days with DC & I.  We are very excited! Richard and Teddi are actually my mom's first cousins, but they are closer to my age than they are to her age. Growing up, we'd see them once a year at the family reunion in Belton,

This is in no way meant to be taken, sexually. This is speaking of the pain of Ulcerative Colitis, and my hubby holding me in his arms, during the horrible cramps associated with this disease. she longs to be tightly held against his chest, where his heart will beat for hers until she is strong enough to once again stand on her own. the tightness that he holds her with, frees her mind from

It's been a rough week with this ulcerative colitis. I missed church this morning, because I knew if I went I would have spent most of the time in the rest room. I've been in bed since Friday, and I'm tired of being in bed. The heating pad has been my closest companion.  I got up for a while yesterday and put up some of the Christmas decorations. I knew if I didn't start now, I never would.

DC didn't want to stay home and do art and craft projects as I'd planned on doing today! : (He had an appointment at the Apple Store for his iPhone, so I decided to go with him and get them to help me upload my iWeb page. I quickly patched my other pair of favorite jeans. Let me know if you know what the word I spelled with these patches!  I wasn't feeling well, but DC and I like to go

"Are you ready, baby?" I loudly call to DC while I finish brushing my hair. "Waiting on you, Baby." He calls back, reaching into the pups treat jar so he'll be able to give Samijo and Jesijo a treat as we walk out the door. I meet him at the garage door and hesitate. "What?" DC wonders half to himself, but actually questions out loud. "I'm trying to decide if I should go to the rest room, or if I

This blog is intended to be about different chapters of my life. I named it The Eclectic Queen Bee because my life can only be described as eclectic. My friends who know me best have asked me several times to write the story of my life. While I would love to write it, my life has been so crazy, no one would believe my life story was true! So for now, just a blog or two, here and there. In the

it is very late, and i need to be in bed, i have something very important to do tomorrow. i had to take the day off, to get it done. but i'm pretty much wide awake. *sigh* my son's name is landon, and my daughter's name is erica. sometimes i call him l.k. or keithers, and most of the time i call her ric, so don't be confused if i switch back and forth. i heard a little boy who was 17 months old

wOw! today has had a tough start. my ulcerative colitis would like for me to know who is boss. i understand, believe me. i hope the cramping stops soon. i will take my medication to work, just in case. i don't like taking anything extra, i take enough already, but i may change my mind later. it is hard to keep upbeat on these days, i will try. macy's management wants to talk to me about my

i received a phone call about 9:30 EST this morning. dc answered my phone and told the person on the other line that i was still asleep. so i turned over, and quickly i was back in the middle of my crazy artsy fartsy dream that i was truly enjoying. when i woke up a little later, i wondered if the phone call had been dreamed or was real? i decided to call the only person i knew who was expecting

So today was very busy for me. Not so much with customers, but with tasks to do. I worked really hard, took a late lunch, clocked out and came home to DC and the pups! Tonight we will watch "Burn Notice" together. We love to watch t.v. together, but I usually multi-task while watching t.v. I'm new at this blogging thing, so I hope I get a little better at it. I hope my life doesn't bore you too

My Angel Pin Oh, no, you say three day ago? It been three day ago since last blog? *Asian accent/wink* WoW! I have so much to say, but can't get through my writer's block! Amazing! I've never had writer's block. What do I do?  I have so many funny stories to tell, I just can't seem to word them.  Wonder what's going on in this crazy mind of mine? One never knows for sure, that we

Blogging has intrigued me since I first became aware of it. I love to write, and thought this would be a great way to journal some of my life happenings. There are so many things that have happened in my life that I have wanted to remember every detail of, and I think this just might be the way to go.  I've also always felt that by sharing my life with others, I might just help someone along
