The hubby and I took an anniversary trip to Seattle. We spent a whole week there and I must say it is a very nifty city. We did the Space Needle because you've got to right? We also went to the Chihuly Glass Garden and Museum which is far more amazing than pictures can even show because of the sheer scale of the pieces. We took a cruise around the ( Read more... )

This movie was a Smithee Award natural. For sure least convincing monster and worst science. That being said it was a hoot. If you're looking for schlock for an evening treat yourself to The Giant Claw ( Read more... )

Be ready to be shocked...

I've resigned my job of 21+ years in favor of a tiny little company that sweetened the pot until I just couldn't say no. It will be a big change, but I think it's going to work out. Wish me luck!

Books: Shakespeare's Champion

Movies: Waiting for Trainwreck to come out

Soundtrack: a nature show

Friday we went to see Weird Al. The man is a genius! The show was a multimedia experience with videos showing during the numerous costume changes. The entire band costumed, not just Al. He also crawled over the audience during a song of pickup lines, sang a lounge singer style medley of his more popular songs, and had a truly inspired scat bridge ( Read more... )

I asked Booz to call Aetna and push for them to reopen my claim, then called the orthopedist and pushed to get the paperwork faxed out immediately. That combo might keep me out of a lengthy appeals process, but no one made any promises. It's enough to drive a gal insane ( Read more... )

Someone please explain to me why if my orthopedist can't follow directions from Aetna I'm the one that suffers? I'm currently out more than two weeks pay because of it and now Aetna says I have to follow an appeals process instead of just getting the right info faxed to them. I'm starting to feel the urge to lawyer up just so they can share my pain

I was able to work longer on my first day than I'd imagined, but now my leg is killing me. Hope I'm not too sore tomorrow.

I'm going to go back to work tomorrow. No telling how many hours I will last, but I've got to start sometime so here I go. I'm doing everything normally now except descending the stairs and I won't have to do that at work. The problem now is stamina. The leg muscle still gets tired easy. Like I set up a meal in the crock pot just now and it wore ( Read more... )

I was finishing up For Heaven's Eyes Only with what looked like a satisfactory ending when BAM! Big time cliffhanger. Grrrr. Had to shell out for a kindle copy of the sequel. Damn you Simon Green ( Read more... )

This weekend was my big experimental outing. I bought tickets to see Avengers in an all recliner theater. I thought the walk from the handicap space to my seat would be doable then my leg would be up for 2.5 hours of rest. It turned out to be a lot harder than I thought due to ramps that manage to hurt in both directions and there was also car time ( Read more... )
