My boyfriend was not feeling well today so he went to an Urgent Care. He was told that he has bronchitis 
Dh was so proud of me the other night because I had planned on getting on the elliptical and my mom called and asked if I would meet her for dinner and I said "NO! I'm going to work out now". She said "you can do that anytime" I replied "nope, I saved this time to do it and I'm going to stick to it." She was a little shocked and even through out my favorite Mexican food as an alternative but I said NO! I didnt budge. Finally I can start making that new years resolution of taking care of myself come true! 
Good Morning!
I knew if I kept looking I would find a deal on the Crocs Capris I wanted and I did!
I do alot of ebay and Pay Pal e-mailed me a $50 off any ebay purchase so I only had to pay $8.75 shipping! Yay!
I got these ones.

Seriously I'm glad she did though and in spite of Chelsie & I having the typical teen daughter & mother spats, it made me relieved that she was comfortable enough to allow me to help. But the inside of me is freaking out. I've known most of these girls since they were in elementary school and I still picture them in pigtails about 8 years old.
So while you young mothers were dealing yesterday with allowing kids to watch certain movies or not, here's what I got to deal with when I got home. As I walked through the door and didn't even have time to set my purse down or take my shoes off.
DD: Mom, remember my friend ******.
Me: Yes, why?
DD: Well she has a problem and needs emergency contraception. You always said that any of my friends could come to you if they needed help with birth control or anything else.
Me: (Inside
Me: (Outwardly). OK, what is the story.
DD: Well she just got birth control pills a week ago and started taking them, but had unprotected sex 2 days ago and is worried that she could get pregnant
Me: Let me go take a bath, relax and think about what to do.
DD: OK, I'll call her and tell her you'll think of something.
Me:
So last night after calling pregnancy hotlines & pharmacies I learn that Plan B is available to women over 18 without a prescription, but under 18 needs a prescription. I was tempted just to head to the pharmacy, tell them it was for me and get the pill(s). But I did the right thing, she is going to call her doctor today and get a prescription called in to a pharmacy. DD is giving her money to cover the cost and if she needs a ride to the pharmacy I will pick her up this afternoon.
Me & my big mouth, that's what I get for telling DD that her and her friends can come to me with any problem.
OK, I'm calmed down now.
Dustin Hoffman is a hoot. 
Good grief Alison!! I don't blame you for feeling the way you did when your DD came to you. On the other hand, it's really cool that you were there for your DD's friend. Sometimes it's really difficult to go to ones own parents and discuss certain things and it's mainly due to fear.
I'm going to sound like a parent for a moment and say that it was extremley foolish for her to have unprotected sex. It doesn't matter if you are on the pill or not, you should still use condoms as a backup. Birth control pills or condoms are not 100% effective, I understand there are still chances of getting pregnant, but honestly, if you aren't ready to become a parent, then you shouldn't be having unprotected sex. It's good that she is going to her doctor.
Okay- *steps off soapbox*
It's unfortunate, but a part of small town life. I also relayed the message that she should always use condoms in addition to her pills to reduce the chance of STD's.GOOD MORNING HYENAS!
Yesterday I bought Mr. Maggorium's Wonder Emporium on DVD. It's a cute movie and I liked it.
I watched American Idol (I recorded it) and Making the Band4. I don't know why I like Making the Band but it's interesting. I wouldn't want P. Diddy as a boss. He seems scary and intimidating
I got an e-mail this morning saying that my pain in the rump customer is no longer at the company.They don't know who is replacing him yet. This explains why he hasn't responded to my e-mails and phone calls this week.
Hopefully they don't replace him with someone worse though! I've had that happen before, pain in the rear managers, replaced by someone that is a bigger pain in the rear! Luckily, all of our managers are pretty good right now. I do have one that I have some problems with, but I think that is due more to his male ego than anything else. If there's one thing that I've learned over the years, don't butt heads with the male ego. Just let it go and life will be much easier.
Yes, I wanted to give the lecture too. But I just gave DD some extra money and said when she goes to the pharmacy tomorrow tell her to please also buy some condoms & contraceptive foam to use for the next few weeks. If she is to embarassed to buy them, call me at lunch time and I will run to the pharmacy and get some. We live in a small town and there are 2 pharmacies in town, one at Safeway and another independent one. So I can understand her reluctance at not wanting to be seen by everyone in town buying birth control.
By the way Pix, you would make a great mother!
You only have 2 pharmacies? Wow. I could understand her feeling embarassed to buy those things. Even in this day and age where there are so many chains of CVS Pharmacies, Walgreens, etc., I still see some people who are embarassed when they are being rung up for contraceptive products.
Oh gravy, I don't want kids. They would probably be called Omen1 and Omen2.
Hallefreakin'lujah! This calls for drinks!I got an e-mail this morning saying that my pain in the rump customer is no longer at the company.They don't know who is replacing him yet. This explains why he hasn't responded to my e-mails and phone calls this week.[/COLOR]
Wow! Good for you for sticking to YOUR plans instead of accomodating your mom's whim.
Sam, I read about your evening looking pretty much like this:
I was raised to be very modest... OK, OVERLY modest about that sort of thing. To the point that I never walked around my own house in the nude, and once when I went to the store to buy feminine products, I was horrified to see two management type guys (in suits) down that aisle discussing something. I walked around the store picking up my other items, but when I went back to that aisle they were still there!You only have 2 pharmacies? Wow. I could understand her feeling embarassed to buy those things. Even in this day and age where there are so many chains of CVS Pharmacies, Walgreens, etc., I still see some people who are embarassed when they are being rung up for contraceptive products.
