stories of a real life wonder woman

I am not sure why I am doing this but my cousin Lisa tagged me in hers. Usually I ignore these things but I figure maybe if I talk about it and put part of it out there it will motivate me to work on it some more.  What is the working title of your book or project? Well hopefully it will be a book about my life. And the title would be the same as my blog probably Stories of a Real Life Wonder Woman Where did the idea come from for your book or project? People keep telling me to write a book about my life...they have been all my life. And I want to publish a book so I am slowly working on this. What genre does it fall under, if any? It would be an autobiography. If applicable, whom would you choose to play your characters in a movie? Um well it would be people playing me and my family and friends. But I have always said Keira Knightly would be me in a movie. What is a one-sentence synopsis of your manuscript or project? I am not sure how to answer this. It's my life

How disappointed I am about not having had another kidney transplant has hit me hard...and I am realizing that is a big reason as to why I get so easily annoyed by the dumbest things... Because here's the deal... In the summer of 2011 when I was put on the transplant list we hoped that I would have a transplant before Christmas at least before the new year and not have to do be put on dialysis...but then I almost died twice and had to be put on dialysis...and the new year came and I didn't have a transplant...so it was the beginning of 2012 and we said transplant before camp...and dad got into an accident and lost his foot...and camp came and we had to lug all my dialysis equipment out to camp...because there was no kidney yet and I had been on hold on the list...and then I was off hold and someone would test and they wouldn't be a match and someone else would test and they wouldn't be a match...and this kept happening...and yet we still hoped and prayed for a new k

So I have been realizing some things about myself this week that I am not too happy about...things that I need to work on big time...like how freakin negative I am all the time... For example Nicole and I are planning a trip to Arizona in March and I keep thinking of all the things that could go wrong and my mom had to remind me that bad things don't always happen...some things are good...like this trip is going to be...so I feel like I should apologize again to my girl Nicole...sorry I can be such a freakin stick in the mud... Also I've noticed how when I am talking with someone and they have a different opinion about something I rarely say something about it...because I don't want to get in an argument...which is lame of me...because then I just end up being mad at them...when I'm the one who didn't say anything...and it's over things where it's ok to have a different opinion...and where we would be able to agree to disagree...but because I don't s

So remember how a couple of weeks ago I kept writing these posts that were full of scriptures and made me sound smart...I do...because I would write them without really thinking and then I would read back over them thinking I probably wrote the dumbest things ever and then it turned out all beautiful...and I would be all like "dang, God that's just what I needed to hear. Thanks for using my own fingers to encourage me and remind me who I am"...I wish I had that going on right now because I need that encouragement...but I got nothing... So on to my doctor's appointment... We talked about how my blood pressure is getting high again so I am on another high blood pressure medicine...and he lowered my dry weight...he wants to see if drying me out will make my bp go down...and I am off my binder that I had to take before every time I ate...so that's good...um my surgery thing on the 28th of February might end up just being a scope with a biopsy...I don't really

All yesterday I kept thinking it was Tuesday...and again today I can't seem to remember what day of the week it is...I'm pretty sure  that means I am losing my mind... First things first...I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow in Peoria...might be interesting since my blood pressure (bp) is going super high again...and has been causing headaches the past two days...that's how that whole mess over a year ago started...I had high bp and headaches for months which led to the seizures...I'm kind of annoyed because I told my nurse 3 times that my bp has been higher and then when I told her for a 4th time yesterday she said I hadn't told her...I didn't correct her...I don't like doing that but when it comes to my health I need to...so I am going to try to do that tomorrow...hopefully my doctor will lower my epo dose...and maybe put me on some more bp meds...as long as I get rid of this headache that would be great... I am also a little annoyed with U of I

I'm posting earlier than my normal Sunday post because tomorrow I will be at the Hobbit in the afternoon with my sister in law and mom and then at the Saunder's ranch to watch the Globes...so I am not sure when I will have time tomorrow... I think I should say right away that I have an instagram and now a twitter...because Nicole told me to get one but also mainly because a few people told not to get one which made me want to get one even more...so my instagram and twitter have the same handle or whatever it's called which is rlwonderwoman...so if you wanna follow me feel free...Nicole has been wanting me to get a twitter since before Christmas but I put it off because I don't really feel like I have anything interesting to say...but when I see the number of people that read my blog it makes me think that others would disagree with me... I should also talk about school I guess...it was ok...I am happy to be working towards getting this degree...and I mentioned when

As many of you know I am at U of I right now taking a class to start off my master's program...and I am loving it...I really am...but I want to be home so bad...mainly just because I hate dialysis at in center...after dialysis on Friday morning I felt sick the whole rest of the day...like nauseous and light headed it just wasn't fun at all...and my arm hurt so bad...it felt bruised all over...not because the nurses did anything wrong I am just used to how we do things at home and how sensitive mom is with my arm because she knows I bruise easily...so that all makes me not like dialysis at in center...and I also don't like it because I am not feeling to good today either...my body can't handle the time in between the treatments...I'm not that swollen but I just feel gross...some of the same feelings I had after dialysis the other day joined with feeling so tired like my body has been trying to work to hard...that makes me glad I will have dialysis early Monday mornin

It's long so if you don't want to read it that's fine... My grandpa is a University of Illinois alumni and for as long as I can remember he has been sing us the fight songs (I've known the fight song and loyalty since I was about 5 probably) and telling us about the school trying to convince us to attend U of I for furthering our education...and though I always acted like it bugged me and it was annoying I wanted to go...when I was in high school I thought that what I wanted to do was to go to U of I and get a degree in business and accounting...following in my grandpa's step even further since he is a CPA...but then I got my ACT scores back and I knew that U of I business school wanted a higher ACT then the one I got so I didn't even apply...so I went to Sauk Valley Community College because I got it for free and I knew that was a smart way to save money...and smart people make smart decisions like that...even though I didn't want to go to Sauk...but I to
