Julie's Journal

I keep checking to see if I’m going to have any page rank update using the SEOchat.com’s future PR tool, but it looks like JuliesJournal.com is going to hold steady at a 4. My other blog UtterlyGeek is going to a 4, and Camping Co-op is staying at a 3. This will be the fourth time in a row that the page rank didn’t go up on JuliesJournal.com. I’m starting to get a little frustrated. In fact, if I continue to obsess about this, I might have to start taking Valium or something. Then I’ll end up in drug rehab, and I won’t be worried so much about page rank anymore. LOL! I’m telling ya, I’m losing it over here!

How’s your Page Rank looking? Come on, cheer me up!

There are three pieces of jewelry that I wear all the time, and I have never taken them off, other than to clean them, or put in a new style. I’ve got a pinna piercing, a belly piercing, and my toe ring, that is 24K gold custom made by my old neighbor in Southern California. The night before my surgery, I have to take them all off, and it’s going to be very weird not having them on. I plan on taking them with me to the hospital, so I can put them back on immediately after I wake up. I guess it would be a good time to switch up the styles a little bit and buy some new body jewelry.

All Piercings.com is one of the many web sites I have bought body jewelry from. Their jewelry is very high quality, and I am always satisfied with my purchases from them. They have some special hand made Fires of Dawn body jewelry that is really pretty! I’m a sucker for hand-beaded jewelry, they are always so beautiful.

I think I am leaning towards this new belly ring though. It’s very similar to the one I had many years ago that got ripped out of my naval. OUCH! But it healed up fine, and you can’t even tell until I get tan, then there is a little tiny white scar, that probably I only ever notice.

The Technorati Love Fest has been a fun event. It started last Friday when I cracked the Technorati’s Popular Blogs list at #100. Look at where I am today, just one week later! # 46. Good times.

Do any of you take Prevacid, or any other kind of stomach medication? When do you take it? Before bed, or in the morning? Everyday at about the same time, 1:00PM, Justin starts to feel better and wants to go outside and skate. It’s hard to keep on that “no school – no skating” rule, when I know he feels better at this time of the day.

It’s the mornings when he’s got an empty stomach that he’s just in so much pain. The doctor said to take the pills in the morning, but they take awhile to kick in. I’m wondering if taking them at a different time, would make the mornings easier on him. Any ideas for us?

I got Justin’s appointment with the Pediatric Gastroenterologist for May 8th. I need to bring the X-rays with me, so hopefully I will remember to pick those up. He’s home from school again today, as he woke up in agony again…sigh. I called his school, and they are having the teachers gather up his homework for me to pick up this afternoon. Hopefully this weekend he can get all the makeup work done.

I have something embarrassing to share also. I have a wart on top of my right hand. I have never in my life had a wart before, and I just hate saying that word for some reason. It sounds so gross. Anyway, on May 7th I’m having that sucker frozen off. No more witchy woman jokes from the man.

And my surgery is on the 9th, so that week is nice and filled up with “other” things to do besides sitting around and worrying. Perfect!
