Bonnie: I always love that Easter picture! It's one of Lyzzie's favorites too -- any butt humor is good humor in her book.
She's a brave young lady!! I didn't get my ears pierced until I was about 24 years old.
I had mine done when I was 10, but after ten months they still hadn't healed so I just let them close up. I always know it's time to dump a boyfriend when he buys me earrings -- it means he's not paying attention!
Hi Bonnie.... The hamburger was o.k., not the best, but I did have a Cheeseburger In Paradise drink.
Oooo I love Cheeseburger in Paradise. They have some sort of spicy chicken skewers that are fantastic! Dang it, now I want to go there but the closest one is about 40 minutes away, I hate to go that far just for dinner.
I can't wait to see the pictures of all the girls. I don't know how we are going to get all the glitter out of her hair.
Maddie looks so cute in her rockstar getup! I hate going to Libby Lu because they always assault us with the glitter - it stays in forEVER! It sticks to their little heads and no amount of shampoo will coax it out.
They have a Hannah Montana makeover now too! Its cute. The girls get a blond wig and big glittery microphone.
We saw this at the mall a couple weeks ago, I thought Lyzzie would love it and was tempted to let her have it done. Her reaction? "Eeew, that's so ugly!"
Nice job on the Easter basket! When I was 15 my BF made me a basket that he decorated with ribbons and stuff, and his mom helped him make some chocolates in a mold that he "painted" with colored white chocolate. It was so sweet!
Donna: that croissant looks divine! I have never had a chocolate croissant - I just may have to try one NEXT MONTH!!
My little brother is here for the weekend and I took today off. He called last night and begged to save him from his house. He said that my mom and grandmother were "weighing him down". When I told him he could come over he thanked me and asked if I was sure, because if I wasn't he would just take some advil.
That is too funny! He sounds like a fun kid. That's great that you guys get along so well. I am 7 years older than my brother and we never really were friends. He was 10 when I moved out of the house, and by the time I moved back, he was a teenager and never home, and we just don't have much in common - other than parents of course. Even now we live about a mile apart and never see each other. Some people think that's weird but it's just the way it's always been.
I don't give the girls much candy in their Easter baskets - but they clean up with the toys! I've been picking up small toys here & there when I find some on sale and once again I have bought too much. Oh well - it's nice to have a stocked "gift closet" for a rainy day or unexpected birthday party.
Lyzzie went to her Girl Scout horseback riding field trip today, I'm waiting anxiously to hear from my mom to see how she liked it. The poor girl -- it is SO cold outside today! They rode in an indoor arena but it is not heated. She almost missed it -- my mom called at 9:03 this morning to ask me what time she had to bring Lyzzie to the troop leader's house. It was at 9:15!! (This made me p.o.'ed because she had all the information for several weeks PLUS I told her more than once but she didn't pay attention). Luckily the leader was running late so Lyzzie made it there in time.
I am so mad at my Dr. right now. I went to my pain specialist this afternoon. I think I mentioned last month that they started a new thing with me, that I now get drug tested periodically to ensure I'm taking my meds and not selling them. Well they have been switching my meds around for several months trying to find a combo that works well for me and we are almost there. I've been seeing this guy for over a year & a half and the entire time I've told him EVERY TIME how I manage my meds - I have Rx's for diff. pain meds with diff. strenghts, and what I take each day depends on my pain level. I don't want to take anything stronger than what I need, plus I don't want to become too dependent on any one med. In the last few months, they have discontinued some Rx's but I still have some left at home, and I continued my regular routine of taking whichever I felt I needed. It's MY body and I know how much relief I need from day to day. Anyway -- finally getting to the point here -- today my Dr. pointed out on last month's drug test that it showed I was still taking meds they had stopped prescribing for me. I ONCE AGAIN explained how I take what I need each day depending on my pain level. He went on to tell me I am now on a "point system" where if I get three points against me, they will not prescribe me anything for one year, and since I took meds that were no longer prescribed I just earned two points! Keep in mind that HE gave me the meds in the first place and told me iit's ok to keep taking them until I run out!! I am so furious right now, and so afraid that I will accidentally get another point and be taken off the meds now that I finally found something that actually works. Another issue is that early refills can earn points. I explained that I will be on vacation next month during the week I am due to come back for refills, and can I come in a week early. He said "No but you can call in for a small refill to tide you over." "Ok, so I can call in to get the refill?" "No, you'll have to come in." "Ok, so I need to make my appointment early?" "No, just come in when you get back in town." AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! So I still don't know how I'm supposed to get my refill or even if I can get it at all. My mom gave me the name of another pain specialist that my brother likes, I think I am going to see if I can go to him. I just don't feel like my Dr. has MY best interest in mind - he also keeps trying to send me to physical therapy for the FOURTH time and I refuse. And he will ask if the cortisone shots worked, I say no, and he asks if I want another one. Um... NO, it didn't work, why do I want to go through that again??
Thanks for letting me vent. TGIF!!
ETA: I almost lost this post -- I got a page not found error and apparently lost my internet connection and almost screamed right here at work! Luckily I somehow recovered it and let it remind me: copy copy copy!!
