Makes me so mad.

I am not going to lie to you, I am super, super annoyed.

The knee that has been giving me so much grief and had 2 knee surgeries is

back to being an issue again...of course.

Well, it was super swollen and in so much pain with a wicked

loud snap every time I bend it.

It was decided I would go to the doctor again and get it looked at.

Let me say, it was not fun in the least bit.

I pretty much got a sucky picture painted about the future and my knee...

eventually my meniscus is going to tear again.

Because I have abnormally flexible joints, my meniscus continues to get caught and

inflamed making the rest of my knee really, really mad.

SO he decided in this visit that he would drain a lot of fluid off

and inject it with cortisone.

Luckily he numbed it....but that was the painful part.

I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but that shot pain clear to the hip.

He decided that if this helps then every time it gets swollen we will need to drain it again.

If it doesn't...another knee scope to see what is going on.

Lose - lose situation for sure.

What does that total kids?

Well, (drum roll please) a grand total of:

3 knee surgeries on the left knee

1 surgery on the right knee

Totaling 4 knee surgeries in less than a year and a half.

Also the awesome news is that pretty much nothing high impact.

That means no running, no hiking, no sports, no treadmill, no skiing/snowboarding:

biking or eliptical only.

Ever.

Because apparently this will be an issue for life.

Awesome.

And that makes me really, really, REALLY mad. 

CEE-razy

This is my insanely beautiful model/actress Lorey from Argentina.... yes I could have borrowed some of her good looks right?






Well, ready for the crazy part??? LOOK at how much she looks like the girl in Avatar.....so weird, and a little freaky. Even her mouth and everything is EXACTLY the same. (This picture was taken way before Avatar existed...even weirder).

One of the funniest things you've ever seen...

As you know, I love, love, LOVE pranks. I have officially found one of the best pranksters/jokester in the world. I will post one of his many videos, but please, I beg of you to go and and watch more....there are plenty and will make you cry tears of hilarity.
Keep in mind this video is just a regular joe blow on a normal every day bike ride:


I am sorry for the one profane part in advance on this one:

duh.

Ok, so not duh. 7th grade me and Jules sat in her office (that I was so jealous of) with our feet up on the desk. IM (instant messenger) was way cool then and so we needed something edgy, something awesome, and different to have as our hotmail names.

- "Jules?"

- "Yah?"

- "Let's make up some new e-mail addresses."

- "Kay."

- "Well, you're wordy. And creative...you think of it."

- "Kay."

*clickyity clack clicker clack clack*

- "Hold on, let me finish talking to [fill in boy name here]."

*applies chapstick* *slurps ramen* *turns up the soundtrack to Pirates of Penzance*

- "Well, like, you're Hawaiian and stuff. And you like pink????"

Three hours later the most random e-mail addresses, pinkpineapplesugar@hotmail.com and creamsodaroses@hotmail.com were born that fit our styles pretty well.

That email address stayed and raised hell everytime I had to say it out loud or write it down.

"Wait, what was it again?" I would be asked... followed by an "alright" and a chuckle since I was 20 and still using it.

But, that account has been through it all: flirty high school e-mails, missionary letters, blogger comments, gold's gym sign-ups, teacher emails, college applications....the works. And now it is done. Closed, forever.

There is a little twinge of sadness as I sign out. Guess it really means I'm all growed up. ...

2009 was just fine....

Here is my year in a nutshell:

Started out recovering from my third...YES third knee surgery. Joyous.

Got my phlebotomist license:

Decided to try a pageant and got lucky enough to win and take home a sweet scholarship:


Learned how to do acrylic nails and was teased relentlessly because I look Asian.

Handed in my Ambassador tag for a tag of Vice President of Service on Student Government.


Had a summer of working as a CNA with old folks at Bel Aire and a Phlebotomist/Med Assistant at a women's clinic. And enjoyed plenty of boating, taking Tom Fishin, and being with the fam:




Started school with a bang and lots of awesome plans for Service Council. Also started my fabulous job with Home Care and Hospice as a CNA:

Got Swine Flu...bad:

Had a crazy homecoming week and decided to try another pageant (crazy right?). This time maybe not quite as lucky to take home the scholarship, but had a good experience all in all. Two was plenty enough for me.


Met President Holland with my homecoming date:

Got Swine Flu again (or it never went away) really bad. Landed a luxurious hospital stay for a week in my 5 star suite (haha ya right, that's what you pay for it) and was treated like a big fat germ.

Ash and Danster came for a visit with me in Orem...very fun:


Had the first annual "Cardboard Campout" to raise money for the homeless. Quite a success despite the freezing rain at four in the morning. Don't worry that it is the only time it has rained in St. George in the last 50 billion years.



Discovered my love of pranks:

Had the funniest/fun 21st birthday party complete with my own "fake club" and "fake first drink". What a blast:

Found my baby Lilly, and then had to give her to her owners....sad day.

Had a "vacation" with some of my besties to Pine Valley to sled:


And have been to enough bridal showers/weddings/missionary somethings to last me a lifetime.

Happy New Years everyone! Hope 2010 brings you all the best...

Yesterdays...

So after popular demand - or maybe just Ash - I will tell some more of my funny little girl stories.

So...this one time I lied. It's true. And well, one thing you learn with my dad really quick is that you don't lie. Ever. So after I got caught in my lie that fateful day I knew I was in deep.

Now my parents weren't exactly what I call "the spanking" kind necessarily. I had a few swats with a spatula here and there, but nothing really hard or traumatic.

Well, clear as day I remember after that lie my dad saying, "Well, little Chelsers, for lying you are gonna get a bare bum spankin."

Also clear as day I remember SHREAKING in horror. "Please dad! No! I pro-hom-ise I won't ever, never tell a lie again!!!"

Now I have what we like to call "puff eyes" as well. Slghtly Asian with really squishy eyelids. This makes for EXTREME crying. When I would cry, I would squeeze those puffs together so tight that the mom said the tears would propel like little torpedos and shoot straight out. This was definitely one of those times.

Welp down went the pants and over his knee I went screaming the entire way.

All I heard was "Slap! Slap! Slap!" With every slap came a shriek or scream more dramatic than the first.

Then all of the sudden! I realized, dad wasn't spanking me at all! He was hitting his own dang leg. That's right...never touched me once. My mom, who thought I was being beaten to death, came running to see us both laughing instead. I got not a single bare bum spankin for that lie, just years of hearing the story over and over again.

Gosh, I was so dramatic.

Classic.

Quality.

Alright, so I have a new show I am loving a lot. It's called gLee....heard of it?
If not you should definitely watch. I don't know why for sure I love it so much...is it because I miss singing and performing a lot and am too scared to start up again so I live vicariously through this?? Or possibly is it because it reminds me of the crazy drama kids I grew up with like Jules?? Or is it because it is insanely funny?? Or possibly because this man is super attractive and kind of looks a little like Justin...my childhood crush and Nsync idol poster I kissed every night before I went to bed?




Anyway, if you can't catch it on actual TV, watch it at hulu.com. Promise you will like it...or at least I think you will! I did. Here is a preview
