Last year The Man asked me what I was doing on Valentine's Day, 2010, and I replied "I guess whatever you're going to tell me". He then gave me 2 tickets to the NBA All Star game in Dallas, Texas!
For you non-basketball fans - this is THE game played by the players who received the highest number of votes by fans and players alike. It is THE EVENT besides the play-offs in NBA basketball. And as you all know - The Man and I are basketball fans with the New Orleans Hornets being 'our' team.
Since that announcement last March, I have been battling illness and constant pain and waiting to see various doctors and surgeons. So far nothing has happened except that I have fallen back into that depression that I have battled for 12 years to overcome.
I now have a new doctor and she is an amazing person. What doctor hugs you when you are leaving and promises to help make you better?
The Man and my doctor agree that I need to get away for some kind of break from all of this and to have some fun. So - with tickets in hand to the NBA All Star game - we are heading to our favourite city for two weeks with a jaunt over to Dallas for the game (a day's drive).
New Orleans - I'm coming!!
The difference this time is that we must fly.
Since we have lost our new tow vehicle and had our trailer written off - I do not have my home away from home with me and I have been panicking for some time now. My new lovely doctor has helped with some medication to calm me down and of course The Man knows when I am panicking and wraps me up in those big arms to keep me safe until the panic lessens. He has also booked our rooms with full kitchens to help keep me gluten-free. I can't have a gluten attack by eating out. That would do me in for days!
So here's the plan. We will be seeing 4 basketball games in New Orleans while we are there and in between dashing to Dallas for 2 days to see the All Star game on Valentine's Day. What a present! Then we will drive back to New Orleans just in time to experience Mardi Gras! Oh boy.....
I do not like crowds and every single big event we are attending is crowds plus. Yikes! (I'll be okay - I'll be okay - I'll be okay).
The Man has also scheduled an airboat ride through the bayous in between everything else. It's a jam-packed two week holiday!
BUT!! It's in New Orleans. The city The Man and I both love.
So wish me luck and hope I don't panic! I'll be back in two weeks.

Oh, Aims, I'm so happy for you. Just leave your panic at the Big Blue Barn West and go have fun. Yes, you'll be in crowds, but in crowds that size, no one will even know you're there. And as long as The Man is at your side, you'll be safe. Let loose and enjoy yourself. Guess what? It is snowing here today. Yuck.
Aims, have a great time. Take lots of deep breaths and you'll be fine.
All the best, have a great time. Deep breaths dear girl, you will have the rip of a lifetime, You deserve it. X

I love my job very much but with all the existing crisis situation I did not feel very sure about my position. Yesterday I was looking something up in the Internet and came across the securejobs.info site. The information caught my eyes at once. I read it through unable even to turn my head and answer the questions of my home mates. The site contains the answers to all my questions and fears. Now I know how to behave in order not to lose my job. And I even found it in the list of the 8 Most Secure Jobs for 2010!
In the recent years i have changed a lot. The perspective of mine to look at things is entirely different now. Each day as I realized there is some positive change occurring in me, I felt that there are many others like me who might and want to change. And I usually thought that if I can change hundred of you and the hundreds in turn will change thousands of other, the world would certainly be a better place to live. And I always wanted to share those stuffs. The "stuffs" I mentioned are actually articles I collected. These were generally published in the local newspaper in the past few years. These articles are so precious to me and think it would benefit others too. I want you to consider my site and think of it. I am sure you will like it. I hope you will keep a link referring to my site in your POPULAR BLOG. I think your blog is really awesome and lot of peoples liked it. So I thought of asking you. And do give me an advice what I do to improve my blog. Its just in its initial phase and I am new to blogging. And I think I need a lot of modification to it. Please kindly consider my request. Let’s join hand in making this world a happy place.
