True story....
I haven't been feeling all that well for about six months. Yep, six months. That's a long time to not feel well, so I decided that I should finally do something about it and get checked out. Off to the doctor I went. She wasn't quite sure what was going on, so she ordered some labs. The labs came clear of any kind of infection. Good and bad news. Her next suggestion was to go visit a heart doc because my heart rate is low and I sometimes feel dizzy, so I have one scheduled. In the meantime, I am going about my life and one day, I am taking towels back to my hairdresser's salon and he is asking about my symptoms, so I tell. He has a client all foiled up and processing, so she hears all the details of my whatever is going on. She then tells me that she is a nurse and could she ask me some more questions about my symptoms. I have no problem with this, so she does. After a few questions, she tells me that it sounds like I have something called H pylori, which, I think, is some kind of stomach parasite and if left unattended, could turn into ulcers. YIKES BIKES!! She tells me that it should just be a simple blood test to find out and then an antibiotic to clear things up. This news makes me want to yodel until my heart gives out. How lovely would it be if that is all it is? I thank her a bazillion times and then call my doctor to tell her I need this checked out. She gets a lab form signed for me, so I can get tested. In my mind, I am thinking, "Oh, a simple little blood draw and then I can find out!" Oh dear readers, that is not to be the case. When I get to the lab, the girl starts pulling all these things together for me...a little plastic toilet thing, rubber gloves, a tongue depressor, a plastic jar, and a biohazard bag. Yep, I am not giving some blood, but a STOOL sample. Gross! I am, however, grateful that they let me "gather" this sample in the privacy of my own bathroom and not some sterile lab bathroom. But, still, the whole thing just makes me shudder and I haven't quite gotten up the courage to go through the process yet. The instructions made me laugh out loud and so do the supplies . Oh, human life is ridiculous and funny...if you think about it. I just hope I find out what is going on, and I am so glad that I am not the person on the receiving end of these types of samples.

1. I love when I have dreams that hunky Jason Statham is my boyfriend. I love it so much that I hit snooze three times just so the dream would last a bit longer. sigh..
2. I LOVE the color teal, but I am really diggin on yellow, lately.
3. I am trying my hand at being a vegan. Not too bad. I was inspired by the documentary "Forks over Knives". Check it out. It's a game changer.
4. While driving past a bus stop, I saw this cute old man dancing his little heart out while waiting. This made my day.
5. I love when my students give me big hugs. It makes me feel loved. I love that when they do give me hugs, it is around my bum.
6. Asian kid wearing a suit and carrying a rubber chicken. It's pretty much a typical day for an East High student, right?!
7. I really like the staff in my classroom. We are talking about getting matchy shirts. Can you say UNITY??
8. I will be 38 in three days. WOAH! I can really say "20 years ago..." and I would have been 18. Crazy.
9. My body has decided that it needs to wake up at 3:00 am every morning. Not cool. Not cool, at all.
10. A few days ago, my school went on lockdown. So mysterious. We had to pull our blinds down, lock our doors, and do recess inside. We even had cops patrolling the area. All ended up being fine.
11. I really want to do a reality series of my job. It would be quite hilarious.
12. I really think Tori Spelling and I should be friends. And, maybe Rebel Wilson.
13. I LOVE this weather.
14. I want to buy a bike and just ride around and sing songs. Does that seem odd? I don't think so.
15. One of my most favorite students is transitioning at the end of this year. I have already had to prepare my heart for that. It's gonna hurt a bit.

S
Sometimes,I jokingly tell my staff that I will get a page, on Valentine's Day, that I am getting flowers.
Sometimes, I actually do get a page.
Sometimes, two cute little boys send me flowers on V day.
Sometimes, it makes me almost cry.
Sometimes, I don't hate Valentine's day.

So True!
A friend mentioned looking up her name on Urban Dictionary, so I did too. Here is what it says about me. Not going to lie, but I tend to agree and it made me feel totally great.
The most amazing friend on the face of the planet. A Megan is there to laugh with you through the best times, and will even cry with you in the rain. She has her "blonde" moments... and can be quite clumsy... But once you get past her "Hi, my name is Megan." You'll find the most beautiful, amazing friend in the world. She works her hardest and isn't afraid to try new things. She will care for you when your at your worse. She is just simply amazingly beautiful. She loves to dance, laugh, and smile. She will do anything to help a friend. She is the most caring and loving person there is no matter how cruel the world can be. Megans are the best. <3>
A Megan is always awesome, period. If you haven't met three or more Megans by the time you're 15 you don't live in America. A Megan has a blonde streak, whether she wears it or not. She has a way of brightening your bad days. A Megan knows how to party like a rockstar. Megans hold pride in the fact that thier name is spelled correctly, without any "h"s, one "e", and one "a" in order. A Megan is always in the shadow of Megan Fox, so don't rub it in.
No one is complete without a Megan as a bff.
She is the sweetest person on earth, and is loved by everybody. She's very random, crazy at times and is the life of the party. She's the easiest person to talk to and she never judges anybody. She's intelligent, hilarious, loves to write and she is an amazing artist. She's incredibly beautiful inside and out, even though she doesn't know it. She's the most amazing friend I have ever met, and I'm so glad I met her. She's like a sister to me and I love her very much. Thank you for being my best friend. Stay strong Look up your name and tell me what it says about you. Is it true or not?
