Yes, I am still alive! I think this is the longest I have gone with out updating my blog- an entire week.
I have good reason though:
- My sister, Vanessa, was in town for a visit, and we spent a lot of time together
- I have been working another half-day at work
- I have been trying to learn all the features on my NEW red Blackberry Pearl 8110 cell phone ( I love it. I can’t believe I waited so long to upgrade)
- I’m working on my New Year’s goal of trying to keep the house organized and clutter free- it takes time, believe it or not
- I’ve been reading more (actual books– not blogs)
- I’ve been spending more time with my family
We did a few fun things while Vanessa was in town. We had a sister-night-out, a night at my dad’s, where he made his delicious Mexican food, and on Monday night, we took the boys to Casa Bonita. They had so much fun, and I have pictures, but I’m too tired tonight to upload them. I will write more about the boys’ and their cousin Maelin’s first visit to Casa Bonita soon.
I also received some good news from my doctor. She said my blood work came back fine and normal. She said I could wait 4-6 weeks and have my thyroid checked again. She said if it was still enlarged, then it would be very important to have the ultrasound. So hopefully in the next few weeks, it will return back to normal. I was happy to hear that.
I am learning to appreciate the good things that happen every day. Some days it can take longer to find something good, but it is always there. 🙂
Stay tuned for the Casa Bonita recap- coming soon. 🙂

glad your blood work was good…I can’t wait to hear the recap of the Casa trip!!! Sounds like you are enjoying the finer things in life.
When Tim was a kid his dad’s company made the food for Casa Bonita 😛
I meant to say awhile ago that my cousin has had an enlarged thyroid for years and they’ve never done anything about it. The thought is that even if it is cancer, it’s a very slow-growing kind. Come to think of it, I think my FIL had thyroid cancer. Hmmmmm…
Yeah – I had more to say, but it’s gone now :p
I left you an award on my blog.
Come and get it.

According to the studies, up to 20% of women are developing transient thyroid disorders postpartum. The most common is postpartum thyroiditis [inflammation] that sometimes can be asymptomatic. As a result the ultrasound of thyroid can show heterogeneous echotexture. By doing AACE recommended thyroid neck check you can check if you have any large nodules in your thyroid.
At least on your pictures I can’t see any thyroid abnormalities:)
best of luck!!
