I just wanted to give you all a heads up...it's my birthday this week...you still have a few days to get me something if you really want to, I mean you don't have to but if you insist! I love books, iTunes, fabric of course...thread, ric rac and notions and starbucks. Oh and anything handmade...I just adore handmade trinkets (and pretty little aqua blue and pink table runners...Barb! Hint! hint! Just kidding. Not.)
...but for realz...for my birthday I'm going to be giving YOU all a little something. Ok, a lot of something.
I have several giveaways planned. Some tutorials. A couple of delicious recipes. It's gonna be a good week so you'll want to check back everyday to see what's going on and get in on the celebration. Every day this next week I'll have a new post with something yummy or cute or inspiring...I hope you'll enjoy my birthday as much as me! (And if you must know...I'm turning 37, again. For the 3rd time. What? You don't have repeat birthdays?)
Truth is, if you remember back here where I wasn't feeling too hot, hormones and all...and you may have noticed I've backed way down on blogging lately - so this week will be a BIG jump into trying to get back into the swing of things.
I've been slowly working on feeling better. I went to see my doctor and they ran all kinds of tests - most specifically for lupus and looking for early markers for cancer...I was feeling really bad. Headaches everyday, GI symptoms, crying, fatigue that was off the charts, slurred speech because I was just that freaking tired...anyway, all of those tests came back good. They did find that I was super low in Vitamin D, and few other things that go along with that plus a few oddities with a liver enzyme. They are doing some more testing but in the short term...I've started taking over 2000mg of Vitamin D a day and maybe it's all in my head but, I am feeling better. My headaches are down - instead of 7 days a week last week I only had headaches 4 days. My tummy is off and on a bit better. My fatigue feels more like normal overworked Mom tired. Today was a rough day but most days I feel like I'm improving. Thanks so much for all your well wishes - comments and emails and tweets. That was really nice and I really appreciated the concern and support from everyone. I'm blessed with a lot of wonderful friends in real life and here on the blog - thank you.
SO I'm just saying...this is gonna be a fun week on the Life is SEW nice with my Two Peas blog! My friends over at Where Women Create have offered up a little something for my birthday celebration giveaway, Britt of Britt Lakin Photography has a super offer for everyone this week, I have a little something that Patty Young cooked up that I'll be giving away plus a few of my own goodies from the Two Peas shop.
Happy Birthday to me - and Happy Spring to you! See you all this week!
xoxo,
Trish
