two things about hate and something really GREAT - look I rhymed

I hate when my internet connection suddenly dies. It's like someone just sucked all the air out the room and I'm suddenly on the floor flopping around like a fish who just jumped on a boat full of fishermen by accident and realized what an idiot they were when they took their fishy friends' dare to jump over the 'big floating metal thingy.'

Ok, so maybe not quite like that. But it really is annoying to be suddenly left with no connection. Like about 10 minutes ago when I was trying to comment about Jen's earring dilemma. You know you can never rewrite a comment and have it be the same.

And you know what else has to do with hate?

My left kidney.

I know, you totally didn't see that one coming. But it's true. My left kidney hates me. Today it's all like, "Since you had the flu allllllll weekend, and since you're dehydrated from this longer than average and completely torturous flu, I'm going to throw a tantrum and hurt. A lot. Because, hey, you need more pain and suffering. And also, you've watched too many episodes of House and I want you to wonder at what percentage I'm functioning and if you're going to die of kidney failure or if Righty over there will save you. Oh yeah, TAKE THAT." And then it shoots some pain through my side/back/kidney-area again.

See, it hates me.

It's all ticked off because one time I had to have a kidney stone extracted. This surgery is also used as forms of torture in some countries. And Lefty just won't get over it.

And to appease the comments that I'm sure will come - yes, I'm drinking LOTS and LOTS of water. So Lefty should shut up soon....unless he's functioning below 20% or something, in which case, I might die. Someone should call Dr. House.

Oh and one time someone told me that lemonade is supposed to help with kidney stones - which is good (although I'm pretty sure this isn't a stone and just some dehydrated kidney tantrum) because I drank 2 liters of Minutemaid yesterday.

And here's one last thing that has nothing to do with hate.

My little sister and her husband opened an awesome clothing and skate shop on friday. And now I'm going to make this big, to catch LOTS of attention.

Shop at Landslide Clothing.
981 West 8th Street
Pleasant Grove, Utah

And tell them that "Vinnie" sent you. No one will have any idea what your talking about. Which might freak them out a little. Maybe I should think of something more innocent. Maybe tell them that "Fluffles" sent you instead. There, that sounds better.

Ouch, kidney infections are the worst!
I always drink lots of cranberry juice and that usually helps, but antibiotics and narcotic pain killers work even better, mwahahaha...
feel better soon!

Are you sloshing yet? Every time I get sick my parents bug me to "Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate!" To which I respond, "I'm sloshing! If I drink anymore, I'm going to sound like a giant sea shell with an amplifier blasting out the sound of roaring waves!"

Yeah - that's an exaggeration, but I know you know what I'm talking about.

slosh...slosh...

I'm a multiple-kidney-stone survivor myself. Both stones passed on conference weekends. The April and November conferences of the same year.

Now conference weekends freak me out.

And thanks for the plug! I was totally sad to miss the first awesome comment (and the $100,000,000), but the second one was so hysterical I think I may get over my sense of loss.

It's like you're a healer.

So go heal Mr. Lefty, already. We can't have you dying on us, because then what would we do?
Kidney function is overrated. Besides, don't you only need one? Because people donate good ones all the time. Therefore, I say you do in and demand them to take it out. You can even give permission for them to use it in someone else's body. ooo, sneaky.

I see Jen beat me to the comment. I was laughing at the irony that not only did you mention her earring dilemna, but you mentioned kidneys and when I think of kidneys I think of Jen. It was like you gave her a shout out twice in the same post.
You're always good for a laugh.

You have sarcoidosis!
Don't drowned in the water you are drinking! lol

PS the address is St. Street too not 8th. I'll be listening out for Vinnie or Fluffles. You might freak some of the people that work here out. lol

Cranberry Juice? Hope your kidney gets better! At least you're loyal to your blog throughout your ailments!

I had a kidney stone the size of Texas. They went in and blasted it to bits. I hope your kidney gets his act together pronto, he can be replaced.

GIVEAWAY (of the photo Christmas card variety)

I think I just creeped out my four year old. I pulled out the, "You'd better go to bed because Santa's Elves are watching you to make sure you're being good!" routine. His eyes got big, and round, and scared. And he said, "Why would they do that?!" Also, our church building burned down yesterday. No wait, it didn't. But the alarm went off, and the entire ward just sat there in the chapel (and gym, because we have an enormous ward.) I sat there too. I don't know what everyone else was thinking, but the thought going through my head was, "Can somebody please get that alarm turned off, it is WAY TOO LOUD!!!!" Seriously, I think our ward is now 37% deafer after that. Oh, and there was no actual fire. And the first fire truck to show up was driven by one of our ward members who was on duty that day. Good times. And now, that GIVEAWAY: For procrastinators everywhere (that would include me) I'm giving away one free photo Christmas card d

little pieces of my heart will be for sale at D.I.

I have this thing about my kids clothes. The thing is, I LIKE BUYING THEM CLOTHES. I get in trouble frequently for this. It's just that the old ones get so boring after awhile. And I hate it when the really cheap clothes look like poop after washing them a couple of times. Luckily, I live in a city that has outlet stores. I love outlet stores (and Ebay!) Alot of the time you can find higher quality clothes for Walmart prices so how could I NOT buy them? It would be like wasting money for me NOT to get a couple $4 shirts at OshKosh. Right? RIGHT?!! The problem is - we have tiny closets. Miniature, puny, ridiculous, TINY closets. The other problem is - I have saved EVERYTHING. Not only are the kids' closets chuck full of stuff, but we have multiple rubbermaid bins in our garage full of baby clothes they've all grown out of. Also, we may not be having any more children. And I say "may not" because if I say "for sure not" someone will have to co
