Because of all the "hosting" of events we are doing this holiday season, Alix and I bit the bullet yesterday and did some marathon furniture shopping. At first we were going to purchase the "investment pieces" that we have been coveting for years at Pottery Barn. When there was no way in hell that we were going to get it by Thanksgiving or even ( Read more... )

Went to the Dr. again yesterday. This time a Reproductive Specialist to come up with an alternative for PCOS since I was taken off the birth control I was taking to control it in order to not distroy my liver. Did an ultrasound (not the pleasant kind you have when you are pregnant) and the Dr. made the following comment: "That is the largest ( Read more... )

Man, I feel like I have been running for weeks and am still not caught up. Work is gearing up before the big holiday slow down and home is a mess. The apt is wrecked and I have no interest in doing anything about it. Yesterday I ate dinner in bed and watched mindless television until 11pm. Picked up a book and was asleep about 4 pages later. I ( Read more... )

Watched the Yankee vs. Red Sox game last night and taped the presidental debate. Is that wrong ( Read more... )

I just realized it has been forever since my last post. What is going on? Well, Friday we went to the Outlet Mall for a William Sonoma fix and picked up a roasting pan and ladle. Then we hit the Old Navy outlet for some winter shirts that fit. Alix bought a telescope at the Pottery Barn cuz it looked cool and was 60% off (or something). Sunday ( Read more... )

Ha!

I have been remiss in my posting duties.  This could be a little lengthy so I am trying my hand at LJ cuts.  Hopefully it will work out well.

One week ago right now I was returning from the hospital after knee surgery.  ( Hospital Experience )

Went to the hospital tonight to pick up the antibacterial soap that they want surgical patients to use prior to their arrival for surgery.  No biggie you would think.  Pick up soap and go.  No.

Had to register to get soap. Waited 45 minutes to be helped.  Was given a secret number to protect my privacy and off I went to another waiting area.

I ( Read more... )

Today is my 2nd day back from vacation and even though things are hectic, I am not going to let them ruin my vacation already! Yesterday I put fires out, this morning I am finally getting into the nitty gritty stuff. Will update about our trip and impending surgery later. Can't wait to hear about cakeinoz 's wedding to the cookieman and Larry's trip to ( Read more... )

Deliriously packing and cleaning now. It's 11:15 pm and we are nearly done. Alix has taken on the role of programing the VCRs. What were we thinking, going on vacation the same week as new TV starts? The VCR in the living room has been moved to the spare bedroom to avoid programing around the home theater and dreaded cable box components. I ( Read more... )
