A Few Random Updates

The Lump. It is smaller today than it was yesterday. Not as small as I'd hoped though- meaning it's not gone. I called my mom and my biological dad, and played twenty questions. Mom confirmed what I remembered about her (just her right one, though) having a milk sack (what should I call it?) under her arm while she was pregnant. She had to have it drained in both of her latest pregnancies- which just to clarify any weirdness, were 22 and 19 years ago. To this day, it is still tender under there. So that helped to calm me a little. My dad, on the other hand, informed me that my family DOES have an incident of breast cancer. My grandmother's (his mom's) sister died of breast cancer. She (my grandma) is on a cruise in the Carribean right now, otherwise I would have called her right then, too.
I'm not quite as scared now. I feel better about it. I have this feeling that I need to watch it closely, and go in if anything changes- but not to panic or to worry right now. Just watch and wait.

In kiddin (that's what Selo calls his girls) news, he got a package today. From his girls. Lizz obviously sent it, but Selo said his girls put it together. It had a picture in a frame of both of them, and tons of candy. It was so nice to see him open it and be so happy about it. How cute is that?

In truck news. I got in touch with Brother Hopkinson today. He said he would be willing to sell our truck for us. I asked if he wanted me to forward him the twenty emails of people I have interested, or email them and give them his phone number, or if he wanted to find a time he would just go out there and they could come by to see it. I look forward to getting his response tomorrow.

In photo news. I emailed the important files (resumes) to my gmail account, so that I have an updated copy in there. I am making progress backing up all my photos. I have all the folders I need to get the ones one this laptop onto the site. Once that is done, I will do Selo's laptop, and then Selo's desktop. I know, I have photos everywhere. BUT I have the process started, I know how it is going to work, and I can do it. I am still overwhelmed, but at least I have a plan now.

In FFXI news. I am not happy. I maybe should put this part behind a password, but I don't really care right now. I think Selo is getting jipped. He wanted several months ago to start a Dynamis shell. He created the shell, had people to join, and was going to fund it out of his own pocket. But got shut down. Well now, *the leaders* have decided they want to take over Selo's idea. They want Dynamis. So they told him he was in charge. But then, they decided they were changing everything about it. He is still supposed to run it, but they created a whole new shell- going with a completely different name and color- even after saying it would remain the same because that's what the ls wanted, changed the rules, changed the leadership, and changed the order of receiving. Selo has been trying to calm me down about this, but I am ticked. To me, it seems purely like a control issue on their part. Their decisions seem selfish and ridicules. Not beneficial to the ls AT ALL. But I should probably stop, because I could go off on this for an hour. * has been edited*

Selo and I went to one of those time share things. We got the overnight stay and we will be going to Anniversary Inn. We also filled out two pages of extra paperwork, so we get two free nights in any of their resorts. We are thinking about Las Vegas hotel reservations.

I'm doing awsome in RockBand. I have my little chick just the way I want her. Cute shirt, cute jeans, and rocker boots. And I bought the guitar I wanted this weekend, too. I need to take a picture of her and post it on here. I am going through the songs like they are nothing. I have advanced to medium now, and that's only because I refuse to play on Hard yet. Selo has been kicking butt playing on Expert, and practically aces the Hard. I have never done so well on a game. I'm loving every minute of it.

I have had a couple issues with pre cancerous growth on my cervix so I will be thinking about you and watching your blog for updates as to how you are doing. I have a history of cancer in my family and pray that I never have to undergo another colposcopy ever again.
