I am not easily distract...oooh, a squirrel!

Bad me.  I'm supposed to take the advice of a lovely woman who just so happens to have the credentials to really give advice.  I like to write my thoughts down and I have a lot of them.  I just don't seem to have...well, honestly, I do have time for me to do the things that I know will be good for me.  I just don't do what I'm supposed to.  Such as....

Losing weight.  Well...we can all look back to, what?  2009 when I started this blog and my big attempt at Weight Watchers.  That took me all of 2? months to give up. 

The good news, I'm back.  Dang it, I am back.  To Weight Watchers.  To making more time for me to write here.   Possibly one day I'll find the 10 minutes it will take me to do a few exercises (have you TRIED a Kettle Ball video?  They're HARD!) 

One day I'll take the time to empty that sink full of dirty dishes.  Yes...yes, I'm far too busy doing other things like watching DVR'ed shows than to empty it and refill it again which would take maybe 20 minutes but I'm striking against wasting 20 minutes of my life, for right now, to deal with the dishes!

Have you ever let your hair grow out and then realize, "Gah...hair is HOT."  No wonder I always cut it short. My neck is all hot and sweaty....I need a pony tail holder!  My evil kids lose them.  Or they're all in my bathroom and to get to them, I have to go through the bedroom where my husband is sleeping so...wait...found one.  SQUIRREL!

I went to the dermatologist's office the other day to take a look at this little "growth" on my shoulder that itches. Made a mention of it on a website I visit that has a message board and someone posted one of the symptoms of melanoma is itching.   I made an appointment for the next day.  "Looks like seborrheic keratosis.  I can burn it off for you.  Insurance pays for it."   "Is that anything cancerous?" as I gaze at all his lovely posters all over the walls...  "No.  We can burn it, freeze it off, whichever you want."  That would be great, if I didn't have this outrageous medical health deductible which means I get to pay for everything before anything gets covered.  

I then went home and googled it.  Please don't google the images.  That is NOT what mine looks like.  Mine is really cute and has a very chic haircut and she's super fashionable...NOT like the pictures on Google.  I SWEAR. 

Just know that the wikipedia description made me really sad.  I really am not in my 20's anymore.  Here's the description:  A seborrheic keratosis (also known as "Seborrheic verruca," and "Senile wart" (really...is that name NECESSARY?) is a noncancerous benign skin growth that originates in keratinocytes. Like liver spots, seborrheic keratoses are seen more often as people age.  In fact they are sometimes humorously referred to as the "barnacles of old age".

I am going to start a petition to shut down Wikipedia.  That's just rude.
