 Drama Queen Diary you ask???
Well, I'm using this page as a sort of blog. Just little notes here and there on Life, Love and Beads.
Monday February 18th, 2008
Hi!!! Well, I've been working on getting my body back to a healthy weight. It's going good...especially since my sudden illness!!! LOL What a head start that gave me!!!
Here's my tracker ticker thingy:
 Seems like a large amount of weight to loose doesn't it!!! Well, I'm confident that you'll see me reach my goal!!! I know it without a shadow of a doubt that I am going to reach it and my body will be healthier, and I will feel wonderful physically as well as mentally because of it!!! With all of my being I know this!!!
It's been a recent thing with my weight gain. Moving here with so much rain and no actual gym time etc I've not had the same physical workouts as I was used to before we moved here. Doing yoga, the elliptical machine, etc at home just isn't the same as doing it in a group environment. And walking by yourself is more than boring!!! LOL Even with an iPod. Maybe I should listen to audio books instead of music when I head out on the next non-rainy day. There's a thought!!!
One thing cool though...
Is that I'm no longer allergic to shellfish!!! :-) That sure helps make meals more fun!!! And now I don't have to shy away from going down to the beach to dig up clams with the kids. They're so enthusiastic about shell this and shell that!!! Especially since they're now allowed to have Crab around me!!! That's a family favorite!!!
Off of the diet stuff and into beads!!!
I've started making Mini Diva's!!! They're so AWESOME!!! Just wait until you see the photos of them!!! I've got a bunch of them to start off with. I'll share those with you this week on the front page as well as the starting of the winged bells I'm making for Carolyn Grimes (aka ZuZu from It's a Wonderful Life). I've got a bunch of those to finish too!!! I can't wait for you to see them!!!
Speaking of Carolyn... She kept telling me how it was truly a Wonderful Life...It took me until just a few days ago to get it. I get it now Carolyn!!! It really is a Wonderful Life!!! :-) Thank you for reminding me!!!
Have a WONDERFUL Life kind of Week!!!

_edited-1.jpg) Wow!!! It's been over a month since I last wrote!!!
Well, here's the update... I'm healed!!! I've gone through test after test and none of them found anything left of the diseased tissue that was found in the hospital. :-) I'm so excited!!! And relieved!!! PHEW!!! Lots of work keeping positive and visioning my body healed!!! I did it!!! I'm healthy and disease free!!!
I ended up changing my diet though. I've removed all wheat products from my diet. I've ended up actually liking it...I bake my own crackers, cookies, breads and even make my own noodles!!! The kids? Well, believe it or not they like it too!!! There are tons of cookbooks out there that have great recipes in them. I'll have to get you a list of the one's I've picked up. Let me know if you want me to send you the book names if I don't get to it soon enough. ;-)
Also, I'm now a year older and I'm supposed to be wiser...I just feel happier and younger. Kinda funny when you think about it. Do you know that this year, summer actually, will be my high school's 20th reunion?! Wow!!! Talk about time flying!!! I can't wait to go!!!
I remember high school like it was yesterday. I can still hear Depeche Mode, Modern
English, The Psychedelic Furs, The Cult...the list goes on and on!!! (that might be because I've put them on my iPod!!! LOL) So, anyway, I'm healthy, happy and really looking forward to what this year brings!!! LOTS OF BEADS!!!
Have a WONDERFUL VALENTINES DAY!!! Lots of Hugs and Kisses!!!

After spending so much time in the hospital I'm finally home. Yay!!! I promised them that I could take care of myself as well if not better than they were and talked them into letting me out 5 days earlier than they wanted. I honestly think I can do better here at home than I could do there wondering what's going on at home with my children, husband, work, house, etc. While I'm here all I have to do to get help is ask. There I click a button and wait and wait and wait for someone to stop in and say that someone will be here in a few to fix that iv for you...2 hours later someone finally shows up.
What was I in the hospital for you ask? Well, they are banking on Crohn's disease. This is all based on one test. The other tests they want to wait for my body to be healed enough to go in and invade it before they do the tests. So that's why they had me in the hospital...to heal. So, after 2 days of discussion with the doctors on how I could heal better at home because I could sleep etc I was released. I'm still in pain and the healing is slow. But I'm in much better spirits! And I get to use the computer, watch movies, and play board games with my children. Much more fun than sitting in a hospital bed for weeks at a time.
I'll know more on what and who's disease is invading my body after the other tests are ran over time. But for now I'm home and yes, I'm eating. :-) Not much but it's food!!!
Other than that life is great!!!
Ben's 9th Birthday was a blast!!! He loves being 9!
New Years was interesting: in the hospital. I saw fireworks outside my room window!!! Those were great!!!
I'll see you guys in a day or two!!! Take care!!!

Well, it's officially my favorite brothers birthday and I just now remembered that I forgot to call him!!! Must have been writing the date down that reminded me. I'll go call him now...
Ok, I'm back!
What a Wonderfully Busy Christmas Week it has been!!! We had a great time at our parent/grandparents' that we almost didn't want to come back!!! But our beds won out. Just couldn't live another day without my bed or kitties. lol They missed us too.
This next month you'll notice more changes around here. I've already set up another website that features Free Advertising as well as paid ad banners. I'll be setting up paid advertising spaces here on my website too. I'm also in the process of creating a beginners lampworking book. Wish me luck! So far it's been fun!
Tomorrow is Ben's birthday! He's so excited! We're going to have lots of cake and watch him open up all of his gifts! He's even requested a home cooked meal for his birthday dinner!!! Can you believe it?! lol Guess you know what I'll be doing tomorrow evening about 4pm. ;-)
The new year is just around the corner...literally!!! I'm making my resolution list. Are you??? I think I'll add creating a way to comment or open up a discussion page on my website to the list. :-) I'd like to hear from you guys!!! Yes, the usual loose weight is on that list too. That's what I'm currently working on in the FFS group. We're talking about doing a challenge...The biggest looser style!!! With the people who loose the most winning beady prizes! Won't that be the perfect motivation? You know it!!! I'll let you know how that's going too.
Ok, I'm off to go make bugs with the boys!

Thursday December 13th, 2007:
Wow!!! Finally!!! My sister actually sent me photos she was promising me!!! I'm still waiting for the Halloween photos though. ;-) lol
Anyway, the updated Shows page has new photos of my booth at the Seattle Christmas Gift Show. Go take a look!!!
We're leaving on Holiday this Saturday. We're headed over the mountain to see the Grandparents and have our Family Christmas Party. I'm super excited!!! This is the one time a year when I get to see my cousins, aunts, uncles and my Grandma Patnode. It's also one of my favorite places to be. Don't ask me why, I just feel at ease there. The kids enjoy going over because there is always lots to do...bugs to look for...dirt to dig in...acreage to run around on...Grandparents to spoil them...no school. lol!!! That's their favorite part I'm sure!!! ;-) This time of year they'll be opting for sledding instead of digging. I'll have plenty of photos to share since I'll be taking my camera. No having to wait for my sister to hand them over.
Anyway, I'll have access to a computer so I'll be able to return emails etc. It just won't be as often as it is now.
The auctions going on now will be shipped when they end so don't worry about that. I'll be taking them with me.
We'll be back on Christmas Eve!!! Just in time for Santa!!!
If I don't talk to you before Christmas, Have a Wonderful one. And don't forget to give Santa a Kiss!!!

.JPG) (Rick's ugly old truck)
We had snow for a grand total of 2 days!!! Yay!!! It was Wonderful while it lasted!!! The boys are super depressed now that it's gone. Not to mention the fact that it's been raining for the past 2 days straight. Yuck!!! They've tried to convince Rick and I that it's ok to take their new sleds out and "practice" riding them on the street. LOL No, I don't think so. ;-) We've offered them a deal...we'll take them to the snow in 2 weeks and they can make a huge long day of it. Thank heavens they agreed!!! :-D
.JPG) Morgan is officially 16 and finally thinking about the car part. We wanted to get her a car but what could she do with it when she's not even got up the courage to get her drivers permit. So, we're waiting on that next adventure before we go car shopping. But we've gone through car idea after car idea with her to the point that I've given up. She said she really doesn't care what kind of car she gets it just can't be uglier than her dads truck!!! That really doesn't help me because I want her to really like her first car...but it does wonders for Rick! LOL He's thinking ugly beater just for kicks. Akkk!!! Madison, Sajeon and Ben just want her to get one that fits them all so she can take them to the movies with her and her friends. LOL!!!
 Beads are going crazy around here!!! I've got a huge kiln full of Flower Bud orders and I'm still working on the rest of them...well, tomorrow I'll work more on them. ;-) So, for all of you who ordered flowers or other beads keep your eyes open!!! They're going to be headed your way in the next couple days!!!
TTYS, Sabrina The Drama Queen!!! Monday: November 26, 2007: What a crazy weekend!!! But It's not going to be as crazy as this coming weekend... Morgan, my oldest is turning 16!!! I'm super excited for her!!! My only hang up is that she's going to be driving now. I'm freaking out about it really. I'm mostly worried that she'll get into a car accident and get hurt...or maybe she'll have her sister and two brothers in the car and poof! They're all in body casts. The only thing I can think of is to get her a heavy reliable car...like a Mercedes or Volvo. No, not a new one!!! If anyone is going to get a new car it will be me. ;) I'm talking about an older model that's been crash tested to death. Something that I won't have to worry about her rolling and not coming out of it. Kinda like the time my sister rolled my new car back in 88. She came out of there without a scratch...just a twig sticking out of her nose. So, if I can either have huge roll bars put into the car Rickola picks out or get her one I feel save watching her drive away in We'll be good. :-D
I'll let you know how Saturday goes...I'll even get some photos!!! Yes, I'll be using MY camera!!! You know how it goes when my sister, Terra, takes photos...I NEVER see them. She's working on it though...that's what she told me last week when I asked for the Halloween photos.
