LOL oh im so trying to not think about it but i cant help it.. my palms are sweating... I should just go and clean the fish tank to help keep my mind off of it. IM LOOSING MY MIND!!!!!!!!!! hehehehe

Are you having troubles logging in to anyother websites? or is it just LBT? You might want to try to clean your Temporary Internet files, and see if that helps.

I just might run out of luggage... Thank goodness for my extra walmart bags LOL ..... I was thinking of taking my laptop, but the keyboard isnt working.. and I dont want to haul a keyboard and mouse... to messing... Ohhhhhhh but im not forgeting my paper plates LOL thats for John hehe

Bubba's sister is pregnant and is in a bad car accident, which caused her to fall into a deep coma. After nearly six months, she awakens and sees that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby. The doctor replies, " Ma'am, you had twins - a boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them." The woman thinks to herself, "Oh, no! Not Bubba; he's an idiot!" Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, "Well, what's the girl's name?" "Denise," the doctor answers. The new mother thinks, "Wow! That's a beautiful name! I guess I was wrong about my brother. I really like the name Denise." Then she asks the doctor, "What's the boy's name?" The doctor replies, "Denephew."

LOL yeah maybe I am over packing... but it is for 5 days and i will be away from home... Im not feeling well this afternoon.. I got real sick to my stomache and I just feel really down. almost like if im depressed. I dont know why I am having these feelings, Im thinking Im just so nervous and excited.. the mood diffrence of each causes a unbalance. oh who knows.. John will be home in 30mins from work im sure I will feel better then... Gosh I want a Pizza!!!!!!!! LOL

Okay Im just getting so nervous.. The nurse from the surgery center called me asking questions and giving me all the information I need for that morning. After that call I know this is for real and Im really doing it. Im so scared, nervous, and excited all at once. Its all but once pile after another on my back... the last fews days I have been dealing with school, trying to get my loan back to take some classes this summer, Im also dealing with the fact the stupid IRS took our refund.. that was going to help pay for my trip. and now we are putting off bills to be able to get a hotel. Thank goodness for priceline.com LOL I got a 150.00 room for only 45.00 nice! just little things here and there are just all getting to me. I do belive in the saying "when it rains it pours" I hope and greatly deserve this surgery to go well for me. Well Im starting to pack.. I got my small luggage out.. and putting things in as I clean the house.. So far I got gas-x, heating pads, portien powder, broth, sf pudding, benifiber, splenda, coffee filters, creamer, nicotine Patches, breath strips, coffee mugs, paper plates..... hebral tea, liquid tyenol, tums. Thats all so far... there is still lots of room for more.. I need coffee, juice, Jello, and maybe a couple of towles.. i like my own towels over the hard crusty hotel towels.. lol Next I will pack my over night bag at the hospital... so far in there I just got my slippers hehehe.. Im washing my comfy pjs now. Then I will pack the big luggage with all my and my hubbys clothes... Then I will pack my big carry bag with all my bathroom goodies... Gosh I feel like im moving LOL...
