If you have known me for, oh, 10 minutes max, you've heard me say something about my bestie, my right arm the left one too, the greatest blessing God has ever given me, my partner in the world: Christy, aka BeFri. For those of you who might not have grown up in the '80s (bless you), but we all had the best friend charms that say: Best Friend. You take half and your bestie takes half and part of it says BeFri and the other half says Stend. Get it? Well, we couldn't remember who had which part and I've always just called Christy, BeFri. Now our guy friends, being the superb spellers and giant smart-asses they are, they call her Bee Fry. I digress tho.
So at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon, BeFri is having surgery to hopefully take care of her diverticulitis. They are going to cut out the infected part of her colon and fuse it back together, if I understand correctly. This is a major dealio here but it is going to make my BeFri feel tons and tons better and get her back to her perky self!!! Thank you sweet Lord!!!! She has been hurting and sick since November and it's been so horribly awful to see her suffer. I'm the one who's supposed to be sick, not her.
Tomorrow, at 1:00 I truly do need for the world to stop and pray for the anestesiologists, the doctors, the nurses, and my BeFri. I'm not being a smarty, I'm serious. To me this is the most important thing there is and I need everyone and everything to stop and pray and don't stop praying until they tell us she's awake, ok, and in recovery. THEN I need you to pray for a full and speedy recovery. The surgery should only take 3 hours, that's not very long. Really, is that too much to ask? I mean, my world is stopping, isn't everyone else's?
And no, I'm not worried, not at all. My trust and faith is fully in God's hands, and I know without a doubt He will be standing there with His healing hands on her with entire time. My problem is that I missed the patience line in Heaven, knowing me I was in the bathroom when God was handing that out, and I don't wait well, especially when it comes to my BeFri. I'm like a Mother Lion, on crack, when it comes to her and I just get snippy and nervous and quite awful when it comes to things with her.
Ok so that's what's going on here. I'll be hitting I-20 West bound in the morning. Please pray for my safe journey over as well. My plan is to come home tomorrow night and go back later in the week/weekend.
Thanks y'all, have a great night!
Peace out--

Let this be my first...
So here it is, almost 4:30 in the morning and I'm trying to figure out what this "blog deal" is all about. K. I'm just supposed to tell y'all what I'm thinking about or feeling or what?
Well, I'm thinking I'm hot and I'm gonna have to take this blanket off the bed and I've got a pretty rockin' headache so I guess I'm feeling headachey? IDK.
Aight. Those topics are covered, now what? You wanna hear my environmental thoughts on the oil spill in my, yes, MY Gulf Coast? Ok, I'll share that real quick like.
I would really like to sit in on some of those meetin's they are havin' down there and ask a few questions. Now my understand is this: something that nobody ever thought could possibly explode exploded, right? Ok, first of all didn't we all learn in like 2nd grade to never say never? So in the event that "oh shit takes over never" don't you just go ahead and make a tornado plan just in case? You know, put that fire extinguisher under the kitchen sink even though the likelihood that you'll ever use it is very slim to none. So question number 1: why on earth was there no emergency plan juuuusssttt in case? Question number 2: How long does it really take to figure out how to fix this? It's been 3 weeks and just now that have a pipe bringing some of the oil up to the surface. Wouldn't your first effort to have been to see if you could stop it, then immediately if you realized you couldn't to divert it to a manageable place? Why has it taken 3 weeks to do that and in the mean time killed wildlife and marine life, stopped and "killed" gulf industry and taken a serious hit to the tourism industry. This could have been done so much faster minimalizing all of these things and more importantly, the long-term effects that this oil spill is going to cause. And my final question and then I'm done on this topic, 3: what in the hell is Haliburton not involved in? For real!?! I thought the newscaster messed up when I first heard them mentioned "to blame" for the oil spill. I have yet to hear what their role is/was in this entire deal to begin with. What in this country does Haliburton not have their fingers dipped in? And why has no one ever heard of them before Dick Cheney?
Ok, that's enough seriousness for one morning. Besides my dog is snoring entirely too loud for me to be very serious at this point. Which brings me to the thought, has anyone tried Breathe Right strips on a dog? If so, how did the experience go? What was the effect on the dog? It's something I plan to research, fo' reals peeps.
Got anothern' for ya. I've just recently started using my iPod on my iPhone. Well, had the phone for a year and a half and it's just been in the last 9 months or so that I broke down and started using the iPod. I'm a purist who believes you should buy the CD/album/whatev to make sure you are supporting the artist. I had to go through great convincing and conviction that iTunes truly goes to the artist as well. Plus it's too cool to be able to find old stuff I no longer have on CD! Anywho, my iPod skips sometimes, why is that? How can I fix it? And let me pre-answer some questions for you: yes my phone has been dropped, a lot! In fact I'm on the 2nd face for it and about to get a 3rd. It's also had water damage but has supposedly been re-worked. No water damage since the re-working, I don't think. Maybe a drop but nothing major. And yes, I've had "the case" the one that's indestructible. That's a crock of crap, in 3 days I had one side completely gone and by the end of 2 weeks I think it was toast. I am HELL on phones. If there's a flight of stairs, particularly if I'm in a stadium or something, my phone will go sailing down the stairs. It jumps out of my pockets or purse, I swear it does. I've tried cases too, doesn't work for me. Plus I wear sundresses all summer, it's my thing, and you can't but a case on a dress! :-)
Ok so this is my first blog. Not much too it. I tried a bit of seriousness, I asked for advice. Tell me what y'all think!!
Peace Out!
