I was immediately inspired by Julie Powell herself. I think this blog will help lead the way. However,this journey will take you to amazing, exciting, uplifting, heavy hearted, inspirational, funny, & sometimes yummy places Newmanalogy© beginsNieceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09085660970286763002noreply@blogger.comBlogger791100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104418223295753181.post-68748279461924107102012-02-21T23:23:00.003-04:002012-02-24T20:11:58.477-04:00

 In the last 5yrs I finally took a stand and started to stand up to these Narcissistic people and it has caused a great deal of negativity, but, it needed to be done. A Therapist tells me that there is really not much you can do, and in fact they are the most difficult people to deal with and trying to change them will only make it worse.  THEY, need to change themselves.  It took me 40+yrs to

Hi Ya'll.  Yes, it's been a very long time since I blogged.  So much going on.  Since the last time I blogged it's been one "treatment" after another. Yes, I have Graves Disease to which I now have Thyroid Eye disease. My left eye bulges out and gives me grief, I have to wear "sealed" glasses if I want to walk or enjoy the outdoors and just staring at this computer is giving me grief. My "stump"

To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best I have the opportunity Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs Everyone knows that this last year was a

Well, its hard to believe that's it's been a year since I lost my finger and was diagnosed with Graves Disease. It just goes to show you how fast time just goes by.  Boy there have been some rough times.  There are still more rough times ahead.  As my usual self, I will grab hold of this with my head held high and just keep on going.  So many things to look forward to right...right.   Last year

It turns out my blog is popular, cool, however there's one in every bunch.  I recently found out that someone who was reading my blog was trying to discredit ...is the right word....or make me look bad.,,,by posting in a newspaper,  I know who it is.....this person has some sort of mental issue

Hi All Just a quick post just to give you the latest on the "finger" situation.  I had my last visit last week and as I stated before things have not been going well in the healing department.  So it turns out that there are two pieces of bone that need to be removed from my finger.  Keep in mind that the skin has finally grown over, so what this means is cutting it open yet again.  Recently I

So have you ever sat down to watch some TV and someone comes on and says, a year ago today someone had passed away, or someone made their first hit record, or someone mentions something that took place in your city, etc....and you think..WHAT? It can't be a year already? Prime example Michael Jackson has been gone just over a year now...what? Seems like yesterday.  Princess Di has been gone for

Hi all Yes, its been awhile since I last posted on my blog, but I have been dealing with an awful lot lately and if you read my last post, I was having a very difficult time coping with many aspects of my life .  So I stepped away from my blog for awhile so I could be fresh with ideas, and well, My mother always told me, " If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".  I

Hi All Terribly sorry I have been away for awhile but it is summer time.  How much do we all love summer. The smell of fresh cut grass. The beautiful smells of the woods filled with pine trees and ferns and so many wild flowers. The sounds of laughter and birds singing, coming from everywhere , even in a distance. BBQ's and fishing.  Going for drives to the coast and walks on the beach. Taking

One of those days.  You just sit back and wonder why people do or say things.  In an instant it could all be over then you would be regretting everything you said, or did not say.  Wishing you had just done what you said you were going to do or stopped acting like you thought the world "owed" you.  Maybe if people just sat back and took some time to actually think about the little things, then it

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart Well, lets talk about friendships.  I am going to tell you a little about my relationships with some of the most amazing and even not so amazing people who have been a part of my life.  Some I call friends, some I now call family. Some I wish to never see again but still think about often.

148 days since I last saw my finger.  134 days since my amputation.  I haven't really talked much about my finger lately , I think its because I just think that if I don't talk about it or I try to forget about it, it might be just like it never really happened and it was all a bad dream.  Well, unfortunately when its a finger , you look at it every single day and its in your face all day long

Believing or teaching that the chief motives of human action are derived from love of self. ******************************************************************* Well then I guess that means I am selfish.  To be successful you have to be selfish, or else

Here is a little information about what happened to my finger, and what is about to happen in the next month or so.  It is healing quite well.  Now that he has cut back the bone it seems that the skin is finally growing over.  Bone is still visible but it is scabbing now. This is good for healing but the "itching" you have no idea.  The pain is minimal now, mainly at night. Which is why I prefer

Well, today was my dad's birthday.  Now if you have been reading my blog, then you know , they live in the Keys. I have no family here in Moncton, at all other than my new family. My sweety, my three step sons, his entire family who have made me a part of their family with loving arms and are so wonderful I can not tell you how wonderful they are in words.  But, still, not having my own family

Sweety finally came home after being away for almost ten days.  The poor fella is so exhausted and had been working very long days. He came home finally to stay, well at least for awhile and he went right to bed. He actually took a day off  and I will made sure there were no phones on.  I have to say that when someone you love goes away , even for a brief amount of time, it sure makes your heart

Have had quite a few things on my mind, but just haven't been able to get into the swing of things nor have I had the energy or zip in my step lately.  So many , and I mean so many things on my mind that I just don't know where to start. Not to mention that I just haven't been able to come down off of my giant HIGH from winning the GOLDEN GOLD at the

I think everyone in Canada and around the world can probably say, that this day, Feb 28th 2010 a Glorious Sunday afternoon, they were sitting, most likely standing in front of their television sets watching a very Historical and Amazing game.  That game would be the Gold Medal Hockey game of the Olympics between the United States and Canada.  I can tell you that my sweety and I were pumped.

Well my friends, some days I can do my very very best to keep my chin up. I am strong. I am powerful. I am stubborn. I am positive. I am energetic, I am optimistic. I am woman....and I am also human.  Have you ever just thought you could handle just about anything life throws your way?  Well of course you do.  I do all the time.  It all depends on your outlook on life.  Things happen to help make

“Canadá no es un país bilingüe. Esto es un país con dos lenguas I personally prefer Spanish.  Why oh why is this always an ongoing issue in this country.

So last night I waiting until my sweety went to sleep. Got up out of bed, and decorated the kitchen with chocolate hearts, a hallmark card, two boxes of chocolates and even put hearts in his bathroom. I sent him My Valentine from Martina Mcbride which is such a beautiful song , wrote and sent him a poem and lit a candle.  I snuck back into bed and when I woke up, my sweety was already up...and

When troubles come your soul to try, You love the friend who just stands by. Perhaps there's nothing she can do, The thing is strictly up to you. For there are troubles all your own, And paths the soul must tread alone. Times when love can't smooth the road, Nor friendship lift the heavy load. But just to feel you have a friend, Who will stand by until the end. Whose sympathy through

Ok, so the last time I looked, I was Canadian. In Canada, we pay for insurance, and we expect our insurance companies to pay out when god forbid, something goes wrong.  Well, I have insurance. I have been paying for insurance. Since this accident with my finger, I have been trying to collect what my certificate says I am entitled to.  It states that for everyday that I am admitted to the hospital

What a gorgeous day.  It actually warmed up a little finally and the snow began to lightly fall, like something you see in a movie. Those big giant flakes, lightly floating down and covering the trees so perfectly like it was a work of art.  We had to go for a walk.  Finally, I was getting back outside, walking with Jazz and sweety and feeling like someone again.  That first big breath of fresh

Well, I am having a hard time trying to come up with something to blog about tonight.  I have no idea why my brain just doesn't want to work but I think its cabin fever and I did absolutely nothing today.  I have stopped taking one of my pain killers, a long acting one, completely off of it now and I have the shakes really bad and its a little scary I have to admit. Doc said this would happen but

A Lawyer.....is a man who helps you get what's coming to him.  Bad day, very very bad day. The lawyer I have been dealing with suddenly calls this morning and tells me that he can not take my case due to not being able to get another surgeon to give them an honest opinion on my finger. All the doctors know each other so they would not be able to get one of the doctors to state that I have a good

Today was a very long yet relaxing day for me.  I got up fairly early for a change because I actually slept the night before.  I am a night owl as you know and think too much so my brain just doesn't slow down at night. Since this amputation I have had even more difficulty sleeping.  Not sure I even want to share the things that go through my head now.  They say you are supposed to go through so

Hi Everyone.  I started a blog a couple days ago about Smelt or Smelts.  Its basically about some funny and quite amusing lingo used in the Maritimes that I have been jotting down over the years.  Something happened to it and now I have to write it all over again.  Its quite funny and will put a smile on your face. So how about a day or so and I put that together for you.  I am sure you will

So some great news.  Had my follow up at the hospital this week, and my Doc said my finger was healing very well. He said it was pulling inside all on its own, so , we MAY not even have to do skin graphs.  Not to get excited but this could be FANTASTIC.  I have not looked at it yet, no....but from what I have been told..it seems that the skin is growing up over the end...This was a very good day.

Ever have one of those days where everything goes wrong? Mmmm that would be me today. I attempted to change my own dressing for my finger.  I became so nervous that I started to cry and shake bad.  Why can't I look at it and do this yet?  I am going to be honest that I was so nervous and scared that something else happened ...not so nice if you know what I mean.  So, I did not do it.  I will wait

I've never talked about this before, in fact I only very few people know about this. There are certain things in life that I just refused to discuss or are just so personal to me that , well, quite frankly, its no ones damn business.  When I decided to start blogging I thought it was like a diary for me. It was to help me learn to type again from the loss of my finger and to possibly help other

So as you know, yesterday , I finally went to my Endocrinologist for my Graves Disease...my over active thyroid.  I was also put on some heart medication...to help with my irregular heart beat. It is supposed to calm you down and slow down your heart rate. This way, I will sleep better.  I have been dealing with an irregular heart rate for pretty much my entire life. It has a little something to

Finally, after months of postponing my appointment with my endocrinologist, I found out what I already knew....I have Graves Disease.  Duh, no kidding.  Back in September I had a bunch of blood work and testing done, and repeated several times to confirm that I have Graves Disease. I also then had an Uptake done and a radioactive scan.  All tests confirmed that yes, I have Graves....which

Have you ever had one of those days where you just wanted to stay in bed all day , watch movies, eat junk food, play on the laptop, nap, and just say the hell with it.  Well, that was me yesterday. Horrible day. I was not feeling well at all to begin with, my finger has suddenly decided to become EXTREMLY itchy. It wakes me up in the middle of the night and I have my own little rig set up to get

   Have you ever actually sat back and thought about the love you have in your life , how much you get, how much you give back, or how powerful it really truly is.  Have you ever actually thought about the different kinds of love.  There are, in my eyes, several different forms of love.  Seriously, just think about it.  There is the obvious of course, that would be family, friends, your pets.

Well today pretty much started out just like yesterday. Cabin fever like you just can't imagine.  Or perhaps you can imagine. I will tell you that its getting absolutely SAD..which is Seasonal Affective Disorder......which means in short... anxiety caused by living in isolation or indoors for a long period of time. CABIN FEVER......To the fullest extent.  If you think about it  I left my job

Well, its been a couple of days since I actually sat down to write, and believe me, I had a few good reasons.  As you know we had some new additions to our family....100 baby clown-fish.  There is alot of work involved with trying to raise them, and this was our first complete attempt.  We made out great right up until yesterday.  Something went wrong....we have no idea.  Suddenly , there were

Sorry it has been a bit since I blogged but...as you know..we are new grandparents to oh about 100 baby clownfish. It took two days for all of them to hatch but what fun. A new learning experience for both sweety and myself but boy did we get involved. We did as much reading and research as possible. We have live food and everything those little creatures need to grow up big and strong. You are

Earnestness, Excitement, Mental preparedness, Optimism........These are all words we use or we think of when we are anticipating something.  Take a second, and think, right this very minute, the last time you were anticipating something exciting.  It could have been that Christmas present you gave to your boyfriend, husband, wife, daughter or son, grandchild, parent.  You just couldn't wait to

Things have been a little , well, strange these past few days.  I have not been feeling myself and I am sleeping alot. This is not a bad thing usually, since I am a night owl and usually go on very little sleep. Lately, I am so tired that I can sometimes hardly keep my eyes open. Have you ever just not felt "right".  That would be me the last few days. Perhaps all the doctors and hospital visits

Sorry this post took so long, things have been a bit crazy with the holidays.  I have slowly been healing, good days and bad but I have to admit....when I have those good days, I just want to wrap them up in a ball, and store it for another day.  I seem to like to bottle things or store things alot these days.  I think its because those great days are very few and in between lately....so I just

So for some reason I started to think about some thing.....simple things.....like I was sitting back trying to clean my ears. Yes, clean my ears with a q-tip.....my left ear. Then I tried to pull back my hair with a scrunchy, tie it up. I had a button on something and I tried to do them up. I went to pick something up off the cupboard with my left hand because I am ambidextrous....which means I

Growing up in the "Entertainment" world was much more than having musicians for parents.  It was the "Arts" in general. In that type of lifestyle you have no choice but to be creative , laid back, and fun loving. In fact I took arts and sciences in high school, was accepted at the College back home, but was one of those "gonna take a year off" people.  Right. Here I am 40 something and thinking

Dear Editor I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? - Virginia O'Hanlon Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not

I'm very tired today....I've been thinking too much. Crying alot.  Today I tried to make my homemade gifts and struggled quite a bit. You never actually realize how much you use a particular finger. I never gave up...I just kept trying and trying, crying and crying...more frustration growing each time....then I thought I would take a break and color my roots...wash that grey right outta my hair..

For years and years I have been either training it, learning it, promoting it, and pushing it on other people. I have been a Manager since I was 18yrs old. No matter what line of business I went into I was a manager or promoted to a manager. In that line of work, you need to believe in the power of positive thinking. You push it on your employees, you drill it into their heads to believe ....

This was a very crazy day for me.  I did not sleep well at all, was in pain all night and the weird thing was , it was a different kind of pain.  It's ok for some reason because once I did finally fall asleep it was a good brief deep sleep.  Finally set up my appointment for my thyroid in January. I was diagnosed with graves disease before this accident or F.U I should say with my finger.  Have a

Ever have one of those days where you just simply want to stay in bed.  You aren't really sick or anything you just want to lay there, your body says blah...your head says, you have to get some groceries, you have to make your homemade Christmas gifts, you have to clean the kitchen, vacuum, give Jazzmin a bath, do the laundry, do your nasty grey roots, clean the bathrooms, do your Christmas

Angels have more meaning than just as characters in stories from the distant past. In fact, they are members of a cast who make appearances in our lives every single day THANK YOU!!!!!!! THIS IS WHAT KEEPS ME GOING….THIS IS WHAT KEEPS ME STRONG……I took this and printed it and have it in my daily journal….I look at it every night when I write down my daily thoughts and what I am grateful for. YOU

Have you ever just sat back and thought about the "little" things in life?  Sure you do right? We all do.  We think about the note that said I love you that you found on the mirror in the morning, the "just because" emails that you get every once in awhile, the flowers that were freshly cut from your garden and put on your kitchen table, coming home to a wonderful homemade meal ...even if it was

The one thing that I suppose, I have working in my favor is that any type of "drug" literally makes me sick to my stomach.  I say that its a good thing because I would never make a good addict which right now is a very very good thing.  You hear stories of people robbing pharmacies and seniors for pills and such, and for the life of me I just don't know why. I hate this...I really do...I've lost

Its strange....I know I had to spend what I thought to be a few days in the hospital, and all I could think about other than the horrible pain I was having was my little girl Jazzmin.  She is my almost 4 yr old Cockerspaniel. What a character she is and a little lady at that.  Like most pet owners we all know that they bring a completely different kind of love to us, that gets deep in our soul.

So today was a big day. Spent the morning at Development and Training to see if I can go back to school and learn a new skill or trade since I am missing a finger now. Some extra skills would help me be more marketable right.  Wrong.......  I live in a Bilingual Province, so you would think that upgrading my skills and taking a french course would be ideal. |Hmmm how about not.  The government

So it seems I lost this original post ....I have no idea where it went so I have to re write it.  Basically I broke down the details of how this tragedy happened.  It was Nov 10th, and I woke thinking this was going to be a bad day.  Ever just have a bad feeling...I had that.  A simple ganglion cyst removal, day surgery, should be in and out. Ok, lets do this......... Well, it was just like

I Can't believe I am doing this. Sitting here with my hubby creating my very first blog..how exciting. After watching the movie "Julie & Julia", inspired by two true stories, I decided to start my very own realistic, honest,yet passionate and somewhat heartbreaking journey into the unknown. Unlike Julie Powell, in the movie being inspired by Julia Child, I was immediately inspired by Julie Powell
