Playing Catch Up!!

So I admit that I have completely slacked on my blog. I accept my crown of "Blog Loser" and wear it proudly. I am going to do better in 2008. So I am going to post some things that have taken place from my last post to this.

If you have not heard we have added a sweet kitty to our family. Skittles Magoo Floto-Ramey. If you have read my husbands blog, then you are very well aware of her antics. I am going to post a picture that we took the day after we got her 10-26-07

she is so Tiny!!!

here is the new picture that I took of her today 12-29-07

She has changed so MUCH!

JD and I were superheros for Halloween. He was Superman and I was a male Wonder Woman

We are too CUTE!!

And Last but not least. my brother had his first Baby on 10-18-07

I am done putting meat in my mouth

So i have finally come to a point in my life where i no longer need to put meat in my mouth. I know that this will come as a shock to most of you, because i mean if someone is going to put meat in their mouth, Chris was always the answer. I took meat almost three times a day, if not more. Before i get to far, those of you with gross minds, the meat i am talking about is animal meat. I have mentioned before that I have been having health issues and been trying for about a year to find answers.

I have finally (I hope) come to know that it is meat. My body makes too much protien thanks to my wonderful boughts with kidney failures and nephritis, and so when i would eat high protien foods my body would get sick, hence my troubles with weight loss, headaches, vomit, the runs and sorts. I have been meat free for almost two weeks and I have yet to have any of the above symptoms. Huzzahh! So i am officially making my Veggitarian Coming Out statement. I hope that you will all see this as just a part of who I am, and not all of who I am. I dont want to be labeled and judged for being different. Its just who I am, i cant change it. (hehe)

Also as a post script, JD has approved adding a cat to our family! YES! So in the next few months it is going to happen. I love him

cat or no cat , that is the question

I have been feeling this need for a long time. I know that i have posted about it before, but the want and need is still as strong as it was before. I am ready for children. I have this need in my heart, i have all this love to give and all i can do is just store it. I use this love for JD, family, friends, but so much more of it just gets pushed back into me and today is a day when i feel it the most. Just feel overwhelmed with the emotion.
I have been fighting with JD for years about how much i want a cat, because children are not going to happen anytime soon, and i think i am loosing. JD has okayed a dog (sort-of) and i would be fine with that, but i feel that our home and work situations would not be fair for a dog. I know in my heart and my mind that a cat is the best decision. JD of course hates cats and thinks there are pure evil. I love JD, but sometimes i feel like this is something that he should just do for me. A cat would allow me to some point have something to take care of, love, and something that could show that love back to me.

The Bionic Chris

so.. I have been having alot of health issues lately. I cant remember the last time i was not nauseated, tired, having a headache and having stomach issues. I have been going to the doctor and getting loads of tests done, which is soo good for me and my insurance. They thought i was postive for Celiac, its a allergy to Gluten and causes the healthy villi in my small intestine to die and not capture nutrients, and I went on a Gluten free diet and started to feel better, but then i started to feel the same symptoms again. THe bigger tests that i took all came back normal and so I am back to square one. All i know for sure is that I have a high protien count, so cut down on my meat and cheese intake. Though i can eat cheese now! I have to cute back on sugar and lose at least 20 lbs.. which would be easy if i had someone to work out and motivate with. Also my testosterone levels are low for my age. My doctor actually told me to have more sex. That might be something i wont have a problem with. JD is doing good of course, why is it always me with the drama??

I will of course keep you all posted, and anyone need a workout partner??

I am a member of an online Wonder Woman fan club (may the geek comments proceed) and a new member actually commented on my page asking me why I loved Wonder Woman so much, here is my answer:

It's not about her being great, it's about her simply being the best. That's just part of DCU canon, she's the strongest female heroine in the DCU. She's typical said to be second only to superman in terms of strength. She's fast enough that the Flash comes to her when he wants someone challenging to race with. She's strategic enough and trained well enough that when Batman wants a good chess match or a strong sparring parnter she's who he calls. She's kind and compassionate enough that when the weight of the entire world counting on him pushes Superman to his wits end he calls Diana for a sympathetic ear and some advice.

She's a purposefully created Mary Sue, the strongest, fastest, smartest, most beautiful woman on the planet. She was blessed by the gods themselves, she's immortal, she's human and yet at times she's a complete outsider who feels completely out of touch with modern man. For some people this is a great character, for other's its a dull boring character. Some people like Superman, some think he's dull and repetitive. It's the same thing with Wonder Woman. I've always felt that for characters with as high a power level as they've got it's just purely a situation of "You either like them or you don't."It needn't get anymore complicated than that. As for me, personally? I love Wonder Woman because of her message. She's a warrior who seeks peace. She's the living embodiment of self sacrifice.

She gouged out her own eyes in order to fight Medusa and stop her from harming anyone else. She cast her own reputation and respect down into the gutter by being willing to kill the man who'd driven Superman into a psychotic rage. She constantly seeks the betterment of humanity, even if they do nothing but hate her for her efforts. She's the ultimate self-sacrifice. She's willing to do anything to save lives, to protect perfect strangers, to try and foster good will and peace between nations. I suppose the short way of saying it is that I like her because she tries to spread a message that I never believe we'll accomplish in the real world. She seeks peace on earth and I do not believe it's something we'll ever see anywhere except in our dreams; yet she keeps struggling to obtain it, she'll fight for it, she'll preach for it, she'll even let her own mother kill her if it means possibly putting an end to blood shed.

Basically, I respect her because she fights for something that I think even she knows is unobtainable, but even though it's so far out of reach, even though the hope of achieving it is slim to none, she still tries. She's the only hero in comics anymore that I still hold in the highest regard, the only one I have left who I can think of as a good role model. If I wanted my kids to have a fictional role model she's who I'd want it to be.

My Conli and Me..

We went swimming on the 4Th of July at the pool located at Brent and Lisa's (jds bro and his wife) house. I of course got the great opportunity to be the one that my niece Conli decided to attach herself too. She is so full of love, life, energy and excitement. When I get stressed at work, upset with life or cant seem to be happy. I of course think of this amazing little girl and I cant help but smile.

on the way home...

Today on the way home , I was witness to an accident. I was driving home from work in Salt Lake today and when I was stopped at an intersection waiting for my turn to move, a guy in a motorcycle going the opposite direction from me went through the light and was hit by another vehicle. The motorist was thrown forward from his bike and was run over by another vehicle and was essentially had his torso 80% separated from his lower body. I turned into the gas station that was nearest the intersection, ran out of my car and headed over to the injured motorist. I am certified in essential life care and first aid. I knew that I had a responsibility to help this man.

When I reached him, I could tell that he had passed away. Even if I could help him, there was not enough of his chest and mid-section for me to even perform CPR until the ambulance could arrive. Myself and other onlookers surveyed the scene until emergency reps arrived and removed the man. He was in his early twenties. I give my love and sorrows to his loved ones. Life is so short, and so precious. I am very lucky to have JD, my brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, mothers, father, and friends that continue my growing and supportive family. Live your life to the truest of who you are.

More then meets the eye..

On July 4th , JD and I were witness to the Transformers. I loved, loved it. It might tie with Superman Returns as my favorite movie of all. As a 31 year old male, I was the at the perfect age when Transformers came out originally. For birthdays and christmas I would always recieve the "good" guys and my brother Mark would always get the "bad" guys. I knew that it was my mothers way of forcing my brother and I to play together.

I am very glad that she did, it was something that my bro and I were able to share as children that crossed over into our adulthood. We are to this day always making comments to each other about our chosen transformers sides.

I will text him "Decepticons drool, Autobots Rule" or even "Too bad us Autobots are kicking your Decepticons ass and taking names" he will of course make a comeback that applies. I love that even how different my brother and I are, that we still can have a connection about a passion that we both have for transformers.

I also love that I can still enjoy aspects of my youth as an adult, too often I am reminded how rough and cruel this world can be. With the war, struggles with gay equality and the problems of our goverment, I can go to a movie that takes me away from all that for a while. That I can let myself be taken by the memories of a time when the battle for good and evil were played out with plastic robots and the imagination of two young boys.

All talking, all singing, all dancing
