They Have Found a Queen in Egypt!!!!!

While getting ready for work I was stunned to see an article saying that they had found the mummy of the great Queen Hatshepsut. Queen Hatshepsut was one of the greatest women in history, though most of her story was erased and she was vilivied as an usuper. She ruled Egypt for over 20 years, in the 18th Dynasty, and proclaimed herself Pharoah and ruled as a God King. Under her leadership Egypt flourished both internally and as an empire.

I can't wait for the TV show on Discovery Channel next month... I'm such a geek :p

CAMPING

YAY.... I'm going camping at the beach for a whole week....YAY Well it is not roughing it camping, we are borrowing a small trailer for the week. My mom does not think I should sleep on the ground anymore, and maybe she is right... oh well, doesn't matter I will be spending the week at the beach. My mom, foster brother and I are going... kinda too bad my foster brother is coming, but that's life and Jim needs a break and if worse comes to worse... we can send him home... All I want to do is hang out on the beach, swim and not have to think about much. I can't wait - 3 weeks until camping :)

New Blog

Again it has been awhile since I have posted... but today I decided that I would hopefully continue to post on this blog about the good fun things going on in my life and I have created a second blog - http://puttingafacetofibromyalgia.blogspot.com/

Where I can let loose about how crappy it is to have fibromyalgia and all the other health issues I am facing in my life. Hopefully it will not only be a place for me to bitch but also a place to explore, learn and teach others about this invisable disablity. So if any of you are ever interested, please feel free to check it out. But be forwarned, there will probably be alot of bitching going on :p

A few other updates: my grandmother passed away on April 20th as most of you will already know... thanks to everyone for their well wishes.

I am now working 8 am to 4 pm... which rocks... even though I have to get up abit earlier. But now I actually have time to walk Murphy again, feel like I actually have time to do things and not as stressful commute.

I'm getting back on track for losing weight... Have lost a couple of pounds and hoping to continue the trend... if anyone is interested in maybe some afternoon hikes - Toronto Island, along the Don, to the beach... that sort of thing on a Saturday or Sunday - Murphy would love the extra company, just let me know.

Hope all is well with all of you out there :)
