Lovin the Black & Gold


SUGAR SHACK thanks, Sug!

LOL, what can I say? Pittsburgh born and bred. Gotta love the "Stillers." Try getting into Walmart today. I tried yesterday. There were absolutely no parking places. You had to wait for someone to pull out. I've never seen it that bad since it first opened. Ugh, everything black and gold is flying off the shelves. Parties galore. Terrible towels waving.

Mocha is wearing my jester hat in the pic below. This pic was from the previous SuperBowl when I was skinnier. I'm going to wear the same hoodie and get a pic of us this year. Just haven't done it yet. I'm trying to remember where our Terrible Towel is. The game will be interesting, for sure. Stevie Breaston on the Cardinals graduated from Woody High, our favorite high school in Pittsburgh. Becky graduated from Woody High. I was still a Woody High maniac when Breaston was quarterback in the Pa. State finals.

Anyway, onto my ultrasound. A cyst was found. I was terrified for a couple of days. It's definitely a cyst. I need a follow-up ultrasound in two months. If it's still there, everything is coming out which won't bother me one bit.

ROFL, I'm on Facebook now. Becky and her sweetie are officially engaged. He is also a friend of mine on FB. I sort of got addicted for this past week. It kept my mind busy and off of whatever was worrying me. You guys are all the best. I can't thank ya'll enough for your support.

I got my hair done yesterday. It's black now and not as short. Actually, I love it but hate my fat face. Can you believe I gained 5 lbs since I had my gyne appt. on January 22nd? I was in shock when I weighed myself at my BF's. 5 lbs in 9 days...ugh. I don't really know how. I haven't changed my eating habits. Yikes, I can't even begin to walk around here. There's 2 ft of snow. The roads are still terrible.
I'm still working on blog reading. If I missed you, I will get to you some time today. I hate being behind.
One more time: GO STEELERS!!!!!

I hope the Steelers win for you! I've never been a sports fan and know nothing about sport at all. I'm sorry to hear you've got a cyst but hopefully it'll be removed and you'll be as good as new! I'd love to see a pic of your new hair colour! Weight seems to go on overnight doesn't it?! I'm on a diet right now and have lost 8lbs in two weeks. I can only lose it by dieting and walking, I walked two and a half miles home from Andy's today through a blizzard! Stay warm! Jeannette xx

congrats to Becky! thanking the Lord too because I know how hard it was for her just a few short months ago after she had that traumatic breakup! wishing her/her fiancee so much happiness and joy!

a cyst is somewhat okay, right? at least they are following it and keeping an eye on it

Go Steelers!! (in case I forget to say that)

hoping the weather gets better soon for you to walk!! you'll get that weight off!! got to be skinny for that wedding (whenever it is)

I'm on Facebook too; haven't quite got all the hang of it but look me up some time (Lv2trnscrb@aol.com)

enjoy the game!!

cute picture of you and the cat with Steeler gear!

Barb said...

Glad the Steelers won! We've been Steelers fans for years. When Tom was in JR High I bought him a Steelers coat. He took a lot of crap for it since we live in "Cowboy country". Who says you have to root for only one team? LOL He got it out yesterday & could still get it on. Granted it was a little short and tight across the shoulders. LOL Love to see your new hair color. And SO glad it turned out to be just a cyst.
Congrats to Becky & her guy. Wow.Do they know yet when they are getting married?
Well hope you get a break from the weather yet but heard the groundhog saw his shadow. "Prairie Dog Pete" saw HIS shadow here. LOL!! Take care my friend. Love N Hugs, Barb

I am so hoping that Becky has found a man as sweet and as good to her as Dirk is to me. After the heartache she went through, I hope and pray that this is it and not on the rebound. As far as the cyst is concerned they are usually painful but I don't think they turn cancerous really often. BUT if you are tired of dealing with the time of the month, I'd let them go ahead and take it all out. I'm so free now that I have had mine done.
I am not a sports fan at all but I was for the Steelers again. Dirk was rooting for the underdog. I think the picture of your cat in the hat is so darling.
You think you've gained weight and I don't see it. I think the picture of you is so becoming and just darn pretty. I don't like my looks at all right now. Your weight gain will probably go away as fast as it came because it's probably water weight.

I love that you're over on FB too. I've gotten more addicted and used to using it just to have the people I like there to talk to when I need to. Sometimes what is written on the walls can be so darned funny. Holler at me anytime you see me over there. I have over a 100 alert thingies that I haven't weeded through yet so if you sent me stuff and I haven't gotten 'em yet, don't be mad.

Love you and please be ok,
Nelishia

Hollie said...

I have an award for you over at my blog. Come by & pick it up.

HUGS:)

Heather said...

Aww, that sucks it is a cyst for sure...I hope you don't have to have surgery...got my fingers crossed (still). Love the pic of you and Mocha...so cute. I just got on facebook too...addicting isn't it? Hope you have a great weekend!

ADB said...

Sorry to hear you're facing surgery, Chris. Nothing wrong with your face.

Maria said...

Hi, Chris! Well the Steelers did it! Yahoo..now that song needs to say 6 times champs! I love the music on this entry and I had so much fun watching the game...mostly because you got me pumped with your blog! Growing up in Pittsburgh helped too even though I'm not there anymore. Keep an eye on that cyst...it's probably nothing but better safe than sorry! Love your valentine's entries too. Talk to you later! Maria
