Ready for the weekend!

Ben had his checkup and xrays. Everything looks great, she says he should be back to 100% in about 6-8 weeks! Yeah! I won't have to tie his shoes anymore!! LOL It has been a busy week so far and I am so ready for the Lake this weekend.

I am concentrating on eating 100% clean! I am tired of being the one that works out consistently and being the one that looks the worst (in my eyes)! So, this week has been awesome! Eating right on and workouts right on!! YEAH ME!!

Still car shopping, any ideas? I might hold out til the new Camaro convertibles come out in late 08 or 09 I don't know. I love my car it's just got alot of bugs!

Aren't things supposed to happen in 3's??

I hope so, cuz then I will be done!

1) Ben's tumor/surgery

2) Out of the blue, I get an email the other day from Ancestry.com saying they have info on my biological Father. So to see ALL the info it costs like $100, but they showed me enough to let me know that it was really him. So, I decide I am going to call a friend of mine who is a detective, just so happens he has someone at his desk that day with his laptop who can enter the name, DOB and "VOILA" there he is! However, he died in 1998. So, I send off for a copy of the death certificate and sure enough I get it in the mail today and it was for sure him. My Mom died Dec 20, 1996 and ???coincidence??? my Dad died Dec 20, 1998!!! How WEIRD is that?

I am pretty bummed that I never got to know him, he left when I was 2 and had limited contact with me until I was 5. He was a Police Officer and seemed to be a pretty upstanding guy, so how do you leave your child and never see them again?? Anyways, it says he moved straight from Ok to Las Vegas and owned/managed a trailer park and was a Surveylance Manager in a Casino. Pretty cool I guess. He went on to marry twice, so I am sure that I have other siblings somewhere. Do I really want to open that can of worms? Doubtful, I don't really get along with the two I have! LOL

and finally 3) My car is going haywire on me again and is in the shop! $1600 to fix it, do I fix it or trade it in? I am so tired of this dang thing! Nothing out there really jumps out at me and says "Buy Me!" I don't know.

UPDATE

First off, the Dr believes the tumor to be benign! We haven't gotten the official lab results back yet but she said she has seen enough in her years that she can usually tell pretty quick when she sees it under the microscope. So, YEAH "sigh" of relief.

He is still in a little bit of pain and sleeping in the recliner, so I don't accidentaly smack him in the middle of the night. LOL He's dying to get back in the gym, so I told him maybe riding the recumbent bike would be ok. He will definitely not be lifting heavy anymore. They drilled the tumor out and filled it back in with a cement/polymer/medicine mixture that dried within a few minutes. They will do x-rays every 4 months and then each year to watch for any more. Apparently there is a pretty good chance that they come back in the same bone for whatever reason.

Lots of other stuff going on this week too. Have to fill ya'll in that tomorrow when I have more time.

Thanks for all the prayers and kind posts!
