I am thinking of a few new names. Vintage Cowgirl was sort of something to put up there when i was craftin' some jean skirt, cross shirt, quilted hand bags for my booth in Amarillo. Now, i am consumed with more, dear to my heart kind of things, and I am considering a name change. Sort of like an identity crisis or personality funk. So, here we go... here are some thoughts...
the Celiac Cowgirl? To Be Or Gluten Free? hmmm... drawing a blank... anyone there?? does anyone read this thing?? we are about to be changing that up too. i am inspired (it may last for one night, but praise the Lord it hit me). I have a mission. check back soon!!

thinking about changing this up a little
so i am thinking about changing up the blog a little. i have requested some input from some "rockstars" (*you know who you are*) and we are gonna try this thing.
you see there are things about me you may or may not know. i am genious... ha ha. had to put that. i am a celiac. and gluten intolerance is really hard in our day and age of "you must serve a type of bread & buttah with each meal." without it it leaves that huge whole on the plate. HUGE! i am a working 8-5 mommy that just wants to be able to go snatch up her boys any time of the day. had it, didn't realize how great it was, lost it, and wishes to have it all back!! i am a dreamer! i am not okay with ho hum. i have had ho hum in some areas in the past and it is greatly overrated... not for me. no, i am no "rockstar" but i am a leader. i am creative. to a point, and then my sister takes over. she is a completer, that is a different post. i am in LOVE with our Father in Heaven. however, i am also in LOVE with going out, doing a jig, and having a drink.
i have something to offer this world. not behind a desk, four walls of a cubical, and an occassional dreamer of a student to be advised before me. i am inspired. i want to inspire. this is not inspiring...

it's about time...
i thought i would blog while at work. someone might randomly fall upon this post. if you do, please do not pass out. i know it has been forever. i am surfin' the web right now, looking for some inspiration as to things to get done this weekend...
brb. okay, had to go advise a student. so, other than advising the random over achiever, my day has been rather blah. we woke up late this morning. i mean, real late. like 7:45 was supposed to be sliding into my desk by then. had to get the hubby out to a wellness meeting, the boys dressed and loaded up, and mommy's face on all in way less than 15 minutes. wowzers! but we made it. i was 30 minutes late, but all is good.
i need to repost pictures, and i think it is time to change my background... as i am only a wantabee Vintage Cowgirl. in my dreams. really i am a late advising momma. ha ha! i will post more very, very soon!!

I am so sorry it has been so long!!!
I know not many will read this as it has been so long since i have blogged. However, I thought while I am sitting here in a hospital bed, plugged up with an i.v., and unable to go too far... i should journal my thoughts for the moment.
So, yes, i am in the hospital.
The one BIG kidney stone was spotted in an x-ray taken last fall when waiting on my Celiac Disease diagnoses. It was in my left kidney, but was too big to go anywhere. So the doc and I decided to not worry about it until i was finished going through the months and months trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Celiac disease.
I went back to my Urologist last week, and we decided that now that all of that testing was behind me we could proceed with the kidney stone. We had set a date for this coming friday for me to come into the hospital, stay one night, and have the stone pulvarized and sucked out.
Well, as fate would have it, that was not how it was going to work. At 5:00 am yesterday, Wednesday, Feb 25th, I woke up to excrutiating pain. It was ridiculous! Way worse than either labors with the boys... my back was burning, my leg had sharp pains going through it, and the pain just sizzled down towards my pelvic region! It was the worst pain i have ever felt.
We went to the emergency room that the doctor had suggested. They got me right in, and sent me down for a C T Scan. In the scan it showed that I did not have 1 kidney stone, but that I have 4 kidney stones!!! 1 of which had slipped out of my left kidney and is lodged in my uretur... hence all the excrutiating pain. Problem, that hospital did not accept our insurance. So I then, after lots and lots of pain meds, took a quick ambulance ride to another hospital in town. And, this is where I sit this Thursday morning.
The Physician's Assistant came in this morning and said that I would be here until Saturday. So for today, I am to eat, shower, and take a walking tour of the hospital hooked up with Morphine and Saline to my I.V. and play on the internet. Tomorrow, I will be here yet some more doing the same thing, except I will be having my procedure at 1 p.m. where they will be putting me under and taking me into surgery to pulverize the rest of my kidney stones. I will still have a small one in my right kidney, but they are not so worried about that one... Job Security for my Urologist and his P.A.
Until later... i hope this blog finds all that read it well! Ta ta for now!!!
