4 dolls
february 12, 2004
i had dinner w/ 4 dolls last night. ok, two of them were actually real people but since they were all about the same size, i got a bit confused. but pullip (the goth one) and blythe (the one in a very daydreamy knitted set *cough*) took their owners along to dinner last night and it was nice to catch up with a couple crafty chicks again. before you think i was smoking and the cigarette smoke was rising up into the picture - let me clarify that it was only the steam coming from a sizzling plate of kalbi.
i have to admit that seeing those dolls in real life is different than seeing them online and in photos. they are actually quite cute. not sure about blythe's orange eyes, but they were cute nonetheless. i know it's all the rage in HK now, i wonder when i go back, will i see a whole bunch of them looking back at me? let's hope my mother in law doesn't collect these dolls. i would want a "talking tina' waking me up in the middle of the night. haha. :x ok, it's not that funny.
both linda and caroline were so nice to come out once again for dinner. it did me some good to get out of the house and to laugh a bit. it really cheered me up to have female conversation. and by female conversation, we talked about birth control, menses, ob/gyn, crafts, men, bras and boobs (and i forgot, uterus lining - thanks C). yes, it was a very educational evening. i also shared a bit of my own health issues with them. i think we as women have so much more health risks and woes than men. it's really unfair.
i was also really lucky that linda agreed to make me this one of a kind creation. i had wanted something in a pinkish rose quartz with a smoky agate and black diamond swarowski crystals and she came through with this fab necklace and earring set. it's exactly what i had envisioned and wanted. now i can really rock HK in style because i know no one will have this. :) thanks again luckykat!

^ speaking of dolls...
i'm breathing just a little bit easier today because my ob/gyn called me last night and told me that my tests came back normal. although this doesn't mean that my problem has gone away, at least i know for the time being, this one issue can be put on the back burner for a little while. and now i can tend to the other issues still lingering and that deserves more focus on. i'm actually dealing with multiple health issues right now and rather hard to devote my attention to one thing completely when the other things are sitting there in the back of my mind. normally when one has been diagnosed with a health problem, they can devote all their attention to it wholeheartedly. but for me, i don't even know where to begin really. simply put, there's too much going on for me to comprehend everything and to keep it all straight.
anyway, while i had him on the phone, i decided to ask him to prescribe me some glucophage for the PCOS. christine had mentioned that it worked for her and after doing more research online - it seemed like it was a very possible way to deal with some of the symptoms of PCOS. he agreed that it would be good for me to try but i'm not sure how my body will react to the medication nor if i will have success in it or not. but at least i'm being proactive about it and trying to find ways to deal with it instead of just sitting here on my ass crying my eyes out.
thank you though for all the nice emails and for all your positive thoughts. hopefully the good vibes will carry me through the year to good health.
