True Religion Designer Jeans or Generic Jeans?

April 7, 2013 By: PerkyParkie14 Comments

  I have always loved “True Religion” jeans.  The way they form to my body and accentuate all the right curves, while minimizing my fluffy parts…. yes, every girl has parts they would like to hide.  These slacks are God’s gift to women.  Just see the picture to the right of my derriere with those sexy jeans […]

The Easter Bunny Missed My House Today

April 1, 2013 By: PerkyParkie2 Comments

  Today is Easter, but it doesn’t feel like it.  As a  little girl, I remember Easter being full of colorful baskets, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and fake grass.  Each year my mom would buy me an adorable Easter dress to wear to church, including the white leather shoes to match.  On that morning, I […]

My long night with a monster named Dystonia.

March 21, 2013 By: PerkyParkie9 Comments

What is Dystonia?  It is a neurological disorder who likes to ride with Parkinson’s disease,m in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures (compliments of Wikipedia).  Why do I consider it to be a monster?  Well as you can see by the video, it makes my foot contract into an […]

No, I am not wearing only a bra and yes, that is my dirty laundry

March 19, 2013 By: PerkyParkiecomment

I felt that making a response to my diagnosis video of Parkinson’s disease was in order.  Many of you were impacted by the video showing how bad my symptoms had gotten without medication.  I had gotten many questions from people who were curious how I was doing today, 3 years after my young onset diagnosis.  Not […]

What do you get for your 3rd anniversary?

March 18, 2013 By: PerkyParkie4 Comments

I was given a copy of the video that was created when I got the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) at age 32.  Seeing as the is no definitive test to determine if you have PD, you are left with trial and error of various medications.  If the medications work, that most likely means that […]

I hate Barbie, the bitch has everything!

February 28, 2013 By: PerkyParkie3 Comments

After a nice weekend last November, I was in Denver, Colorado for the Davis Phinney’s Victory Summit,  and I got to visit an old friend.  As we sat down for breakfast to catch up, I was happy to hear that we both have had a great year of good health.  The only catch is that […]

Hello. Do you believe in unicorns?

February 24, 2013 By: PerkyParkie8 Comments

I ‘m in line at Trader Joe’s, which sells the best, reasonably priced, mostly healthy……well except for their mini mint mouthful ice cream sandwiches, which are in my opinion made by chubby angels and then float down on little fluffy clouds……sorry,  I am digressing.  So I approach the cash register to see a smiling woman […]

“What do you do?”

February 21, 2013 By: PerkyParkie2 Comments

You know when you are meeting someone new, they always ask, “What do you do?”.  A flash of your life goes through your mind as you slightly begin to panic.  How do you define yourself in 30 words or less? Then, without a pause, you spout our the most superhero, ‘cliff notes’ version of yourself. […]

“Jugular I.V.” and “3 Day Weekend” should not be used in the same sentence.

February 20, 2013 By: PerkyParkie2 Comments

When people ask you “got any plans for the upcoming 3 day weekend?”  Most common responses are, “going to the beach” or “going to see a movie”.  But not me!!  I think that the best thing to do with my time, is go back to the Hospital’s Emergency Room, with severe stomach pain, just to […]

Happy Valentine’s Day~*

February 14, 2013 By: PerkyParkiecomment

          A young woman was taking an afternoon nap. After she woke up, she told her husband, “I just dreamt that you gave me a diamond necklace for Valentine’s Day. What do you think it means?” “You shall know tonight”, he said. That evening, the man came home with a small […]

I am a medical anomaly, advocate for people, freakishly smart, believer of unicorns, self-proclaimed addict of frozen yogurt, secretly a ninja, and personally planning the assassination of Barbie...Oh and I have Parkinson's disease. If I could describe myself in one sentence, I wouldn't be blogging!
