In the clear...
MRI came back…the liver thing is just that; a thing. As it was believed before, it’s likely congenital. Or it’s just a weirdo little thing that develops sometimes.
Whatever….it means I’m okay. Nothing to worry about. Which is good. Obviously.
Now we continue with our regularly scheduled programming…getting to the bottom of this gall bladder crap. Let the games...

Oh, hey, MRI...

Oh that? It's just my misshapen liver...
I’m angry at the world today.
I had an ultra sound for my gall bladder yesterday. And while they found no gallstones (yay), there’s something up with my liver…which I’ve known for years is apparently abnormally shaped. While this was once deemed congenital, I’ve now been made aware that it could be a benign tumor which is a rare result of long-term oral contraceptive...
Hold up, wait a minute...
I might be moving alisonbreitman.tumblr.com to alisonbreitmanmusic.tumblr.com.
Does anyone know how to transfer posts from one blog to another?
Email me if so: abinthesaddle@gmail.com.

Music, shmuzik.
Hi my dears…
So I set up a new Tumblr account for just music stuff. Follow me there:
alisonbreitman.tumblr.com
(if you so wish, obviously)
I’ll try to be detailed and post fairly regularly—regular music blogging, new songs, old songs, whatever. But I’m trying this out for now…we’ll see what happens.

lemdi:
One guy did get a card! Or is that already known by everyone and I’m out of the loop? Because his reaction was hilarious and I’m disappointed that the only other person to join the slow clap was someone I didn’t know (and never managed to get close enough to be able to hear an introduction).
Who got the card? What did he say/do to warrant it? And what, pray tell, was his reaction!!??

For my 4000th post, some notables, observations...
- While walking Jessa this morning, I saw a man walking down the street, carrying a pair of tighty-whiteys. Just, you know, carrying them. In plain sight. Morning-after? Walk of shame? Did he have an accident? I don’t know…I mean, I would have balled those things up and stuffed them in my pocket or something. It was odd. And kind of gross.
- My dog is really freaking adorable.

Obsession, by In the Saddle
It’s 12:30am on a Sunday night. I should be in bed right now. But I’ve been finishing a song on GarageBand.
I. Can’t. Stop.

Knit your shit, Ed. 8: Not Happenin'
I just finished a project that I will not give to its intended recipient. This is the first project that I’ve finished and been like, absolutely not. Not good enough. Nope. But it isn’t. It’s really messy and not good. I’m disappointed, but I guess it happens, no?
Just kind of annoying because the child’s mother is one of my best friends, and I so wanted to make...

I saw a Vizsla dog outside of a coffee joint this morning.

So I’m super-sensitive to smells, and this office today…this windowless, concrete closet…it STINKS.
What does it smell like, you ask? Well, maple syrup and hard boiled egg. I’m not even joking. I don’t know what the fo the house manager was eating/doing this morning, but it’s lingering and it’s seriously gag-worthy.
We might need to go home.

Settle this debate
Jonny and I are having a little conversation about how to sign off a letter to someone who is close to you, but not so close that you’d ever say I love you to them.
So we’re putting it to Tumblr. Here’s the question:
Do you have to “love” someone to sign off a letter with Love, [name]? If you received a letter or email that had Love as the sign off, would you...

Knit your shit, Ed. 7: Baby Shower Sweater
This is a sweater I made for my friends Erin and Andrew’s baby girl. She’ll be born around Christmas time…she’ll need a little tiny sweater to get her through her very first Chicago winter (poor baby!). So here it is:

Holy Daily Candy!
So, I haven’t been watching Top Chef: Just Desserts because, well, I wasn’t that into it. But tonight, I realized that one of the judges looked really familiar. I thought it was someone and was like, nooooo….that would be weird! But then, good old IMDB confirmed it.
Danielle Kyrillos is the one who wrote this article (click!) about my CD. Responsible for almost 200 sales of my...

Oh, and yes...
I am seeing a gastro guy on Thursday for my gall bladder concerns. So I’m not just trying to self-diagnose and treat. And I will ask him about cleanses and what have you.
2 tags
The reasoning...
So the reason behind my curiosity of fasts/cleanses is as follows:
I’ve been just…off…for a while now. Stomach off, skin off, general fatigue and ickiness off. I’m quite sure I have gall bladder issues, as it’s hereditary and both my mom and maternal grandmother had them (mom had her gall bladder removed last year). And I’ve been reading a lot about remedies...
I know we've discussed this before, but...
Has anyone ever done a master cleanse? Care to share your stories?

Other than my first impressions thing, I’ve never posted about Mad Men?

I think her character is going to prove to have more depth, she seemed so dumb, so very dumb in the beginning, but everything she has done is super calculated,...

This is, at the same time, funny and sad.
One the one hand, you live in a college town. On the other, you don’t expect to see (or your 8 year old to see) people having sex on your lawn.
The thing that’s so frustrating, is that these kids won’t get the message. Because if they did, they probably would have known better and had enough respect to not to engage in this obnoxious...
