I Have :02's

before my next meeting sooo -

I'm 99.9% sure the booble will be just fine. Thanks for the support! But it's been like that for as long as I can remember, not sure why she never noticed it the last 5 years I've seen her. It'll be no biggie. Besides I have a million other things to occupy my mind lately, like: PE's bday tomorrow and his family coming to the condo for the 1st dinner ever, cleaning, shopping, cooking, what thing the kids will break when they are there, again flying out to MN on Sunday till Monday, reinterviewing for my current position due to the merger that is finally official...the list goes on.

My allergies have been pretty tame lately and I haven't taken any of my $200 drugs yet. CJ - I don't remember the names but it was a steroid, antibiotic, nasal spray (Nasenex, I remember this one), another drug I can't remember what is for and an antacid (I have no idea why he gave me this). I do think one of them started with a Z though.

TR - I'll call you when I have some actual time here. When is Mr. Miller's show, Feb 7? I'm all over him, uhm, IT.

GO BEARS!

Yes, I'm Still Here...Barely

Ok, first:



Second:
I'm supposed to be in CO skiing that weekend with my sis and her family. When we booked I didn't even think Superbowl. I'm debating on if I should rebook flights to come home early Sunday for the game. It would be some work and extra money and probably some hurt feelings if I do. I'm torn.

No new car yet. I am actually concerned now that the parking spot I am renting may not fit the Mustang or the Mazda. I've measured and technically they should fit but its gonna be tight. If the mirrors fold in then no problem but I know they don't on the Pony and I think they do on the Mazda. PE claims the Benz won't fit and if that doesn't fit I may be back on the streets. I have to park the Benz and see if I can fit it in there. He's not used to parking in my spot so maybe I have a chance.

Went to the doctor today and she felt a lump in my left booble. She thinks its only a cyst. Very common. I go back in about 5 weeks for a reevaluation. Can I just have ONE MORE THING added to my list of worries?! Seriously. Oh yeah, I can. I went to an allergist and it's confirmed I have allergies. The kind you really can't do anything about. He gave me a bunch of drugs that cost me out my nose (ha) but I haven't taken any yet. And yes, these were on a prescription plan. I can almost guarantee that if these cost me this much I won't be refilling. Back to OTC Clariton D and Afrin.

Also, Jen, I know its belated but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you had fun on Saturday. I want details and we promise to meet up with you to celebrate in the that "special" way that we talked about.











Ok, ok, here's a nice picture...sheesh.

Bring on the Auto Show

I'm actually kind of sad. For 8 years this has been my car. We've been through a lot. But then happy b/c I'll get to have a nice, new, shiny one to replace it but then sad b/c I'll be back to car payments every month for like forever.

Sold it to the person I said was perfect for, a college student...from Houston of all places (her fam lives in NW IN). I placed my updated ad on Craigs List late Fri afternoon, she called Sat afternoon and looked at it Sun at noon. She showed up with her dad, mom AND grandma. Nice family, also no negotiating, they just paid what I asked (which was a fair price, although they don't know about the $2M worth of work it WILL need SOON. I feel kinda guilty....but not THAT guilty about it. Hey they could have asked to take it to a mechanic for a once over.). So after the girl said this was the nicest car they have looked at, and we got past grandma excitedly asking to see "that huge rock on my finger!" and we established "yes, yes it is very expensive to live here," we went to the bank. "Buyer Beware" and "As Is" were my 2 most favorite phrases today, oh yeah, and "I prefer cash." Paul didn't think I'd get even close to what I was asking. HA! Who knew I'd be such a stellar saleswoman.

I tested this on Sat. I think I'm past theMustang phase now, although someday...



More for the money, comparable to the Accord and, unlike Honda, Mazda has great rebates & incentives. Which will only be more come February. Decisions, decisions. 2007 is already shaping up to be a better year then last.

What's Been Going On

Besides not having the time nor the inclination to post, all this:


Finally Up Now:



For Sale. What dent? Hole? What hole, there's a hole?:




In the lead to be My Little Pony*:

*Without V8. Come on, do you really think I'll be dragging the quarter mile in the city?? Unecessary. Also, probably the closest to a horse that I'll have in a long time.

My Sis surviving Colorado Blizzard(s):

Colorado Xmas:

The fence was completely necessary to keep the kids out. "Buut Moom, all we want to do is just separate them." Uh huh.

They Look Innocent Enough but they're sneaky little shits:

Yes, they need hair cuts but you try driving in like 6 feet of snow to do it.

Possibly the best xmas present ever given to a kid. Pooping Barbie Dog:

Food Goes in...



Food comes out. At first she didn't want to do it in the house b/c "it's dirty!"


My other Nephew, who coincidentally learned how to make above said dog puke in addition to eating & pooping. We know, he's a genius.:



Xmas Day (which I am happy to report that neither of us were hung over for this year):



And back to dark yet again:



New Years pics aren't posted yet but nothing special. Had some food at a friends french bistro at around 10pm, rang in the new year, back to our place for a couple cocktails and to wait for some out of towner friends to come over and crash, otherwise they would have slept in their car.

ALSO - I forgot to give a big THANK YOU! to Miss Chopsticks for my beautiful blue sake set that she sent over all the way from Japan for my b-day! I love it! Unfortunately though one of the cups was broken! But hey, all I need is a cup for me, screw everyone else! Kampai!!!!
