While squeezing the cooler back into its slot in the pantry on Saturday, I decided to tidy up at little.  Alix's Grandmother had just left from a (horrible) visit and things were a little out of place due to her rummaging for lunch ingrediants while we were at work.  The European in her will never die, and I know it was driving her nuts that we ( Read more... )

I have viral labrynthitis (aka Vertigo). Got special drugs and everything from the extra cute and sassy Melissa, FNP. She is way smarter than the borning and unappealing Nikki and doesn't scream into my deaf ear. I pick up the drugs on the way home tonight. Thank goodness.

List 5 things you do when alone that relax you completely. Then tag 5 people and have them post their five things in their journal.

1) Cuddly time with my kitties (ok technically not alone time, but you try to resist them, I dare you)

2) I'll open a bottle of wine and cut off a nice hunk of cheese and watch the food network with all ( Read more... )

I would like to start by saying that I had a GREAT Saturday. The rest of the weekend I could have lived without ( Read more... )

The mall across the street from our apartment puts on a kick ass fireworks show (rivals any of the city shows in the area) but it is usually a couple of days before or after the fourth. This year it was on Saturday, July 2nd. We invited friends over and cooked out on one of the community grills. After a fine dinner of hot dogs and burgers with ( Read more... )

I feel like I have scrambled brains or as if I did that weird spin around with your head on the bat thing that they do during the 7th inning stretch of minor league baseball games. Apparently I have fluid trapped behind my ear drum that would prefer not to drain. The nurse practitioner (not the cute and sassy Melissa, but the drab and unappealing ( Read more... )

I can't hear for shit. My left ear is clogged/plugged/broken and I have tried every home remedy in the book. So I am off to the Doctor. Not my Doctor (ok nurse practitoner...but I like her and she's pretty) but some moron I am sure just out of med school who is going to want to try all the flushing, chew gum, etc. ideas all over again. Should ( Read more... )

Tonight is dinner with Erin, Thomas and the regional friends that can make it. Back to On The Border...Yay! Tonight I will try to be relatively good meal/drink wise to make up for my chip/queso consumption. ok, these are my intentions now, let's see how long my will holds out. My weightloss has completely stalled since she entered the US but I ( Read more... )

Memorial Day weekend is supposed to be one of those 3day weekends where you accomplish something. Well, not me. Friday I went out to dinner with friends. Saturday I got up early (ok 9:00) to take Beau to the vet and then back home for a nap before Shakespeare in the park. Wait, there was a trip to the grocery store in there somewhere because I ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning with a killer headache and can't figure out why. I took a couple of aleve and went back to bed thinking I could sleep it off. It was even worse when I woke up at noon. I have never been sensitive to light before and can't figure it out. It could be allergies, vision, stress, or the excessive amount of sugar I ate last ( Read more... )
