    Cheesy and Lushy!

    I'm making cheesy potato soup and garlicy bread for dinner tonight!
    I think after dinner I'm going to take a bath~ I'm already so cold and it's only just starting to get chilly!! *laugh*
    Besides the cold I can't complain-- well I could about work. but that's nothing new.

  • Lush~

    They released the Holiday LUSH items!! I think this year for Christmas I'm just going to ask for LUSH!!
    I'm going to Atlanta the weekend of the 16th for the Emilie Autumn concert!! and I'll be making a trip to LUSH *smile*

    Jingle Spells- my favorite bath bomb!! I will be stocking up on this!! (seriously need to stock up!!)
    Cinders Bath Bomb- new and interesting! It has pop rocks type candy in it to make it pop! I'm getting one to try...
    Gnome Name Bubble Bar (smelled it in the store and wasn't keen on it... still looks cute)
    Fairy Tale Sugar Scrub
    Want to Believe Bath Melt
    Spiderweb Bath Bomb- Scented like one of my favorite discontinued bath bombs Black Pearl!!!
    Double Fast Luck emotibomb
    Sex Bomb Bath Bomb- Of course!!
    Sugar Babe Sugar Scrub- I am addicted to these!
    MMM melting marshmallow moment bath melt
    Karma Bubble Bar
    Blue Skies and fluffy White Clouds
    Heavanilli Massage Bar
    Karma Soap
    Chox Away Soap
    Coalface Cleanser
    Volcano foot mask
    Viva LUSH Vegas gift set-- if ONLY for the Play your cards right massage bar
    ok I think that's it.... *laugh*

    Lush trip was exciting! I was like a kid in a candy store~ seriously. I couldn't think... I was in lush overload! Adam was cute pulling up my list on his iphone~ I did a lot of damage!! (yeay Birthday Money!!) and I loved just picking it up and putting it in my basket! (usually with everything else I debate and mull over things....) Some of it I will see again at christmas... (I'm looking forward to that!) Most of it I can enjoy now (well anytime--I do like to hoard my lush!) It was great... I got a lot of yummy things! Even better was the promo buy $X get a free bubble bar! yeay... Bubble bars are always a luxury (on top of a luxury!!) so it was nice. I got most things that were on my list~ I will have to update it. and do some reviews! I still have some things left from my last order! The giant sex bomb~ *laugh* so yeah. I didn't get any sex bomb this trip~ I did however get the following:
    Coalface cleanser (loving it!)
    Karma Soap (I spent 10 min going back and forth between Chox and Karma... next time I will get Chox!)
    Jingle Spells(!)
    Fairy Tale sugar scrub... is adorable!
    Spiderweb bath bomb-- I was so excited they had this-- I got 3!!
    I want to believe bath melt-- I can't wait to try it out!
    and they still had STARDUST!!! so I got one! I should have gotten more but...
    and I also got the Let them eat cake lip balm-- it smelled too good!
    I got 2 free bubble bars(!) so I picked out Creamy Candy and Blue Skies and Fluffy White clouds!
    My sample was a little vial of the karma fragrance! since 1oz is $40 I was pleased with getting one awesome sample! (at least it wasn't the ice blue soap that I always get and dislike!!)

    I picked out a lot of stuff for Christmas. I know I'm getting Cinders bath bomb, and Jingle Spells... I really wasn't trying to remember what I'll be getting for christmas so I've kinda blocked it out! I'll be totally happily surprised on christmas! *smile* so yeah. "Hello, My name is Tori and I'm a Lush addict!"
    Seriously-- I wish they'd open a store here in Knoxville. I'd work there for product!

  • "one step closer to normal"

    or at least that's what my doctor says! My dad says that is debatable!

    It's been one week and a day since I've had my thyroidectomy and its been a long week but today is the best I've felt yet!! I'm very happy with the surgery and how things are improving with my health!! Even still healing this is the best I've felt in ages!

    and in other news I have Tickets to the Emilie Autumn concert in Atlanta!! *Grin*

  • I'm going under the knife!

    Well my thyroidectomy is scheduled for the 30th!! I'm excited and nervous!

    I'm not looking forward to the weeks following the surgery. or the surgery itself. or the 3-5inch scar *shudder* But I'm looking forward to the long term effects and knowing that I will not be miserable because of my thyroid again! *laugh*

    Apparently I have both Hashimoto's thryoid disease (what my sister also has) which has been running in cycles of high and low for 10+ years... which makes sense looking back on my health and weight changes and emotions over that time span. Every time I was stressed it would kick it into high makeing me lose weight and trigger the horrible emotional/physical sideeffects... which I just thought was normal for whatever going on at the time. and then 2-3 years ago my insane stress and or pregnancy triggered the Graves Disease and kicked it all into thyroid storm... which with meds have gotten under control but the symptoms are horrible. I just don't need my thyroid if this is how it effects me! *laugh*

    so yeah. I'm anxious about the surgery and what I'll be going through afterwards but I'm trying to be positive! *laugh*
