When your are a bit blue….
As in, waiting for biopsy results and because of that you
simply can’t put a decent word on paper…
You paint…
Well at least that is what I do…. But because my painting
is like my drawing in kindergarten (all over the place) and as you can see in the picture of
our bathroom, i must have been color blind at that time (I blame it on the meds)... I won’t bore you with how MUCH the color is going to CHANGE and
yes practice makes perfect so I keep practicing...
But since my right side is still hurting and yes, literally
a little bit blue too, BUT only 2 stitches (whoohoo), and i couldn't finish my painting job... I decided to show you
something really neat! We, as in you and I, made it into the Progressive
Dairyman Magazine!
Front page of Progressive Dairyman
The article! Yes you can enlarge and hopefully read...
Oh, so sweet!!!
Even more fantastic is that this magazine goes all over the US! And this makes me happy because i love to spread the word about how fantastic dairy farming, AND blogging is! So thank you all for making this happen i simply could not have done this without you all!
Hopefully tomorrow the waiting ends and i can tell you the good news that everything was negative and that i just have been an incredible stressed, emotional overwhelmed, silly girl! And i can go back to try to be a good wife, thoughtful family member, motivational employer and good caretaker for all our girls (the cows)... yes i am a bit of a perfectionist, if you didn't already knew... ;-)
Dr Nala here we come!
Big hugs

Don't feel bad about the color thing. I often have to ask the Hubby about matching colors. He has a better eye for that than I do.
Good Luck at the Doctor. Keeping you in my prayers.

Eh.....is dat jullie roze badkamer???...leuk !!!..enne owwww de uitslag zo spannend...ga zo vreselijk voor je bidden...knuffels van mij...xxx...
ReplyDeleteI don't know how they look in person, but the colors in the picture look great. I'm a glad to know that there is someone else who is a messy painter. My husband always makes fun of me because I am covered from head to toe with paint for days, sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the magazine and blessing and peace to you as you await the biopsy results.
I remember reading that post about the hospital.
ReplyDeleteI had a fuscia colored bathroom once. Once!
The bathroom color is not so bad. I know you'll find a lovely color to freshen it up.
ReplyDeleteThe article was very nice. You did the dairy industry proud. What an honor to have such a large spread written about you. Really wonderful!!
Sending thoughts and prayers that all will be negative tomorrow.
Your tub is so great looking, .....I like the colors......the colors really make the tub stand out.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on article!
Hoping, fingers crossed and praying to hear good news tomorrow.
Hey, I like pinky purple. I've got everything crossed for tomorrow. Let us know.

(Talk about TRAUMA!!) ;o) Congrats on the article feature!! YEA!!! So very well-deserved....And ya know I'm a hoping and a praying for tomorrow's good news....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteCongratulations well deserved. I am just saying my bathroom is two colours enough said.I like your colour leave it be.
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking and praying for you tomorrow.
I am happy more people will know about your wonderful blog.
Thinking of you. It is going to be fine OK. :)B
Love the tub, no matter the wall color! Prayers for good results.
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome! You rock! You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteFeatured in a Nat'l Magazine - how cool is that?!
I actually like the pinkish/red color... not so sure about the purply color - maybe if it were deeper (sounds crazy) so it is of a similar depth of color as the pinky color. But... paint is cheap (relatively) and it must have been good therapy! Soak in that tub - relax!
Good wishes coming your way!
The tub is as pretty in the photo as it is in real life! We already knew you are a superstar...just glad to see someone else giving you some love...can't wait to get together very very soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Girl. You have done all you can. Now it is up to God and our Prayers Love the bathroom colors are great
ReplyDeleteTake care
Praying all is well...and if painting kept your mind off of your worries for a bit I say do the whole house!
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you tomorrow and waiting to hear..
Hugs~
Ah Leontien! I clicked and enlarged and read and LOVED the article! You are such a rock star.
ReplyDeleteYay for telling Dr. Nala how you felt. Hopefully he apolgized. If he didn't DEMAND it.
I'm serious.
OK, enough lecture........I am so praying for you. I'm thinking of you. I will have a serious talk with the Lord about how wonderful you are.
HUGS!
I love knowing a famous person!
Oh..............my vote.
ReplyDeleteChange the paint color.
But I love you anyway.
I adore the tub AND THE COLORS! The colors were chosen for a reason, and maybe this is the place you need to be while you heal and relax, in the peace of your room. I find it inviting. Good luck to you and I hope you can lighten yourself w trying to do it all and be that perfectionist. It is your time to just be...

Todd & Jessica F.
Ha Leontien,
ReplyDeleteDeze site was even zoeken voor mij, want verder dan Hyves kom ik eigenlijk niet (tja, ben al 30 he...). Maar had net je lieve zusje aan de telefoon en die wees me op je blog en natuurlijk ook op de onderzoeken die je de laatste tijd hebt gehad.
Schrik er van, vind t stom en oneerlijk... Weet dat Luuk en ik aan je denken en ook aan je familie. Vind t moeilijk om iets moois op te schrijven, maar ik hoop dat ik met dit berichtje toch een beetje bij je ben.
Heel veel X en groetjes van Maartje en Luuk
congrats on the well-deserved recognition! nice at have some good news coming your way! hope there is more of the same real soon!
ReplyDeleteWa HOO! Love seeing your name in print, and I am SOOOOOO jealous of your wonderful tub! I think you should take a picture of yourself eating ice cream in it! :-)
ReplyDeleteKeeping good thoughts going your way my dear!
Wow! Now you're famous. I think that is great and I hope your doctor appointment came out good.
ReplyDeleteYou don't get my blog:) LoL. Well that road is so bad that the photo with the trees and water is the road it is so deep now that two cars have had to be towed out. I like the road in a bad condition because people can't get down it and never try again as a tow may cost $200. unless some dumb farmer with a tractor pulls it out for free. Since we are the only close dumb farmer we are not doing it anymore unless these crazy kids give us $50. before we pull them out in the middle of the night. Nice road no traffic what is not to get. I hope you get my weird humour. :) B
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much for visiting today and leaving a nice comment.I will definately enjoy the beach its way to long for summer to return again.I hope you are doing ok.I hope you hear your good news soon.
ReplyDeletePraying for you! Thanks for stopping by my place.
ReplyDeleteKatie is one of my favorite people I've never met too!
As for bathrooms, I painted mine lime green once. I was going for Granny Smith, but overshot!
Saw you were a new follower and came to check you out... WOW! Wishing you only good luck with the biopsy and kudos on making it to the big times.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Hi, I have awarded your blogspot a Sunshine Award, please pop over to my space to collect it :) x
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for my results. Tuesday is the day I go to the doctor to find out. I gotta tell ya that I'm feeling alot out of it.
ReplyDeleteHey, the paint color looks fine, but I know how it is after you live with it for awhile. I got really sick of the green I thought I loved and finally pained it all beige. The one color I never got tired of was one called "ice princess" how funny is that? and I painted my bedroom that color. It was calming. Congrats on getting noticed and published, and what ice cream? I hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I 'kind of' like the color, but then I'm not seeing a room of it! I do hope you're doing well, and a big congrats and kudo to you for the spotlight--You deserve it!!!!
ReplyDeletecall me crazy, but I think the colors are pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations in making the Progressive Dairyman. You ARE a great storyteller.
