Starting to get a little pissed...

I owe the dermatologist $200 for skin cancer stuff because my new insurance SUCKS (of course you dont realize that until its too late).

I also think I'm gonna get stood up for what would have been my 2nd date with someone....thank god I didnt put out the 1st time. Why are men such assholes. I even shaved "the monster" today...just in case, LOL.

I think I'm gonna take a nice hot shower (I worked my ass off in the yard all day - weeding what will be the garden and putting a weed border around it, and I just took a bike ride).....chill in front of the TV and have myself an ice cold adult beverage of some sort!!!! My Netflix arrived yesterday, "Twilight" so I may have to pop that in the DVD...

Just a laid back Sat. night...


Hiya!

I was just sittin' here, editing photos..and thought I'd do an entry.


I'm sipping on a Crown and Coke (thanks Jimmy for the booze!), and actually doing auctions - like 4 of them! I havent done that many in a while. Probably won't list too many any more, I've been so busy with my new job, and its getting warmer outside, and when my raise kicks in I won't need the cash as badly (unless I buy a car). I hope to use my auction $ to pay down my credit card debt (ugh).


I think I am officially the QUEEN bargain shopper! I totally made out at Victorias Secret. I've had a $50 gift card since xmas (thank you Chris), and I've been waiting for that perfect item - enter swimsuit season. So, I picked out a suit..used my gift card..had an email offer for another $20...looked up coupon codes at retailmenot.com and got shipping for $6 (its usually about $11), and a free VS swim tote ($25 value)...are you ready for my out of pocket total??? $6.51. I shit you not! Yeah, I rule.


I had a date a few weeks ago, it went well..the guy is a real doll. I wasnt sure if he wanted to see me again or not, I couldnt tell AT ALL. Well, he DOES, as of a message I got from him today. That makes me happy. I think he's a gem. We'll see :)-


I need to make another appt at the vet for Gus...hopefully this will be his last bloodwork / urinalysis, and he will be in the clear from his previous problems. I sure hope so..he seems like nothing ever happened to him...I do have pet insurance, but I don't think they'll pay for this visit because it relates to his past problem. I'll probably submit it anyway, all they can do is deny it, right?


Well, back to editing pictures!


Happy Easter everyone!

A WHIRLWIND week




Dang..this week was nutso...and so it continues through the weekend. I feel like I haven't had a break, and that totally stinks like doo doo.




I was in class all week training for my new gig at work, and quite frankly, learning something totally new is really exhausting - especially when you're no spring chicken anymore LOL. By Thursday my brain was mush!!!




Friday I took mom to surgery. We were both thrown aback when the surgeon and anesthesiologist informed us that she would be put completely under. The pre-surgery place did not say that!!! And it just went downhill from there...mom was so rattled she cried - said she was thinking about dad and all the times he had to have surgery :( Mom has never even had a tooth filled, so she was frightened..a lot. All I could do was tell her it would be OK. The stress was complicated by the fact that the center was running late..way late.




We didnt get out of there until 230, a full 4 hours after surgery was scheduled. GRRRR.




The meds made mom sick, so the poor thing was puking every few minutes while I was trying to get her scrip filled and then home so she could drift off.




Yesterday we took the bandage off...ICK. I almost passed out, and she got woozy too. I said "mom I'm totally not the one that should be doing this" LOL...We were shocked to see 3 incisions! (another error by the surgery center) But, she's not swollen and they look like they "should". The pain meds arent really working for her, so we'll have to address that on Monday.




Today is Booger man's 1st bday party!!! I CANT BELIEVE MY nephew is a year old already...and sis just told me last week that she's KNOCKED UP AGAIN! Neither one planned, goodness gracious. I just love that little stinker to death. Attached are a few pictures. I have so many awesome ones, but mom cant upload them to her PC (ugh), so she always gets actual prints :(
