*** The Real Adventures of THYROID GIRL ***

Off to see the wizard

I'm off to see the wizard. The wonderful wizard of thyroids. If I ever decide to become a wizard, I'm definitely going to be wizard of a one-syllable thing so that it flows.

Ashy Simpson just sounds wrong

Well, I've had Ashlee Simpson's Pieces of Me on for about a week now and it has finally drinven me crazy. Funny thing though- before the lipsinking thing on SNL I didn't really like this song at all, but now that I've heard it on the news like 200 times it's growing on me. Anyway I found the song I've been looking for so Ashlee and her pieces will just have to go.

On a side note, my appointment with "Thyroid Man" is later today. Please pray, do a strange dance, wear lucky socks, whatever you want if you think you can help. Thanks in advance. Oh and if you do some kind of Get well Les dance I want a picture cause whether it works or not the picture would definetly cheer me up.

Thanks so much to everyone who prayed for me!! I really believe in the power of prayer and I think that God hears everything we say. This experience has really changed me and I don't have enough room to list all the things I've learned. Some people ask me how I keep from becoming angry or depressed. Until now I didn't have anything very inspirational or helpful; I thought it was just my personality and that I was in control. It took almost a year for me to see that I wasn't in control and that God's mercy was what was keeping me sane. I can't remember who it was, but I remember hearing a severly disabled person try to respond to a reporter who asked them if they ever think 'why me?' The person's answer was simply 'why not me?' I thought that was a little strange the first time I heard it, but now I get it. If anyone needed a reality check it was me. The week before my surgery I was frantically filling out college applications to make sure I got them in on time. I remember telling my mom that I couldn't think of anything to put in the sections where they ask about hardships you've overcome and disabilities that have helped make you who you are. How quickly things can change. Anyway I've gone on for much longer than I wanted to. My next appointment is Friday at 10:30. Keep prayin' it keeps workin'.

Prayers please

I know I haven't posted much lately, but I have a good excuse- promise. I've got a big doctor's appointment tomorrow and I've been really nervous about it. This doctor thinks that I have an autoimmune disorder that is killing my thyroid, and he thinks he may be able to help. Anyway I'm soooo nervous and I would really appreciate your prayers.

Happy Thanksgiving, eh

Ha! I finally remembered what I wanted to write. Yesterday was Thanksgiving in Canada and I forgot to tell everyone to celebrate. Anyway, I apologise for my tardyness and hope that all you Canadians had a happy Thanksgiving. Eh.

Thought I had something to write, but it just completely slipped my mind

Anybody know how to draw an elephant?

In an attempt to increase traffic to my site I added it to an index of blogs. Hopefully more people will see my site now :)

I spent a little while looking for songs and I'm having so much trouble picking. I've found about ten songs I really like and I just can't choose. If you have a favorite that I haven't put on here lately tell me and I'll look for it.

Yay for finding a song I like. Turn up the volume :)

I'm trying to decide whether I should make the font a little bigger or leave it like this. Any thoughts?

I've been trying to make a Republican shirt to wear on voting day and it has been waaay more difficult than I thought it would be. Does anybody know how to draw a silhouette of an elephant?

If you live in Texas and haven't registered to vote yet quit reading this and go. Unless you're a Democrat. Democrats aren't suppossed to regisiter til next week ;)

poor baby

My poor little computer has been sick for the past few days, so I haven't been able to post. I was a little surprised how attached I had become. Without the internet I felt completely cut off from the world. I had a song stuck in my head and I couldn't look up the lyrics. I saw a preview for a Peter Pan movie and when I couldn't remember the directions to Never Never Land I had to just sit there helplessly and hope they came to me. What did we do before internet?
