7 Google Tools You Don’t Know About…Yet! →
world-shaker:
Here are 2 of them:
3.) Google Building Maker - A great 3D modeling tool used for adding buildings to Google Earth. You can select a city and create a real building in that city based on images provided by Google.
4.) Google Swiffy - Annoyed that you can’t view Flash files on your iPad? You’re not alone. Haven’t tried this one myself, but Google claims “Swiffy...

By Hope Hammond
“When writing a novel a writer should create living people… people, not characters. A character is a caricature.” ~ Ernest Hemingway.

Why July?!
You know, it never occurred to me that July would THE worst month to get a hysterectomy. While I didn’t have much choice in the matter (as a matter of fact, I was shooting for December), but I should have tried harder to wait until the temperature dropped and the leaves turned to have this God forsaken procedure.

I haven’t been able to get my pain levels under an 8 on a 1-10 scale. I’m basically miserable. I get new meds to try on Monday, but that seems like an eternity from now. LA came to stay with me Friday night and she was...
Empty Inside
While the morphine drips through my IV to numb the horrific physical pain that I’m in, my pain deep inside remains. I know it will heal with time, but my fears are confirmed. I feel empty inside.

Go ahead, lose yourself
All day today I’ve been nervous and dreading my surgery tomorrow. I got to spend the day with Cylie because S has to work the next few days. It was the perfect distraction I needed. We laid around and watched terrible Miley Cyrus movies. Normally, I’m a huge Nicholas Sparks fan, but come on. The Last Song was terrible! Then when it was time for lunch, Cylie didn’t want to move....
