I'm Having a Party!

This Saturday, June 21st... 3pm until whenever.

My very first house, my very first housewarming party.

Email me for directions... or comment, whatever.

You Know Who You Are...

And SHAME ON YOU!

I was just fine, having lots (lots) of great, great of sex with you. And then you went and fucked it all up.

D-day my ass. You're a liar.

I do miss the sex though. That was fun.

Fucker.

Settling in...

So I'm working in Las Vegas for the next week. We're doing a skin course and might be a volunteer for a few skin procedures. Tomorrow through Thursday I might get the following:

Botox (although have fun trying to find the wrinkles)
Collagen lip injections (I think this could be extremely funny)
Laser hair removal (will one session do anything?)
Chemical Peel
Microderm abrasion
Fillers (again, I have no wrinkles)
Vein's laser treated (from all the years of working on my feet)

This could be really interesting. We shall see.

If I do have anything done... I hope to post before/after pics here.

Viva Las Vegas

I leave tomorrow for Las Vegas. I'm working a medical convention on Skin Problems and Diseases.


I'm pretty sure I'll come back having had a few procedures done: Botox, fillers (for ALL of those wrinkles I have... or not), and collagen lip injections.

Apparently according to Nevada law, our teaching physicians can't do the procedures on the convention attendees (who usually volunteer), so its up to staff to volunteer.

Sure, poke me, prod me, make me look like Angelina Jolie!


Haha, we'll see.

I Have a New Boyfriend!

Dexter just doesn't know it yet...

I *heart* you Dex.

Bad pic... but can't find the camera cord...

Goodness! The light makes my teeth look crazy... ewww... Well, I guess technically they could have been "wine teeth". haha

Rewind 10 years...

Scraps is going PLATINUM...

And no, I didn't cut and album.

I am a homeowner.

I am a homeowner... can you believe it?!? I don't think I can.

Well, my sore aching muscles in my arms, legs and back believe it. :) I can't lift my hands above my head at the moment. Its really funny.

Before I met my realtor at the house to head to closing on Tuesday, I stopped at Lowe's for two things. I got 2 bungie cords, to keep the fence closed so Lucy doesn't run for freedom. And I got a fushia plant to hang on the front porch.

My Grandpa owned a plant business for 20 years. I remember being about 12 years old and falling in love with a plant my Grandpa showed me. It was a fushia plant. I wanted my Grandpa with me from the start of owning my own home. I know he'd be proud of me. I wish he could have seen the place. Now he's there.

Painting the bedrooms should be finished tonight... I'll pick up a garage door opener on the way home... Doggie door is installed as is the microwave and dishwasher... carpets get cleaned tomorrow...

Saturday is moving day. I cannot wait.

One week and counting...

I close on my house in one week. One week!!! OMG! I'm seriously going to be a homeowner!!!

Planning what colors to paint things, searching for the perfect doggie door online, Ooo the fun I've been having.

I'm ready to be over the whole packing/moving/unpacking part... I'm hoping the strong young lads at the OB will help with all of that.

I'm also thinking of a house warming/bar stocking party sometime during Memorial Day weekend. I can't wait!

A couple of things...

I haven't posted in a while... lots, lots going on.

Oh, and I didn't want Grandpa to be too far down on the page. I love you, Grandpa.

I just got the call that I'm finally going to close on my house!!! May 6th is the magical date. I'm really excited.

I get another epidural tomorrow, five so far (number four was last Wednesday). Hopefully doing the series closer together will work better.

That's about all going on with me.

Step One... Contract Signed

I've just begun the adventure of buying my first home.

Until We Meet Again, My Birthday Buddy...

I love you Grandpa.

Wintson Churchill once said...
"I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter."

Get ready... my Grandpa's on his way.

I Think Mine is Still Out There...

Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn’t faith believing
All power can’t be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
’cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

I know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

Right?

I'm Moving!!!

Well, eventually. The "Man" won their court battle and they are tearing down the farm.

And I've stumbled onto an amazing opportunity. The owner of my restaurant is purchasing a home to rent out. He'd love nothing more than to rent to me!

Tomorrow I will go see the beauty... if I like it, he's buying it. Yay!

Specifics:
3 bedroom
2 full bath
Finished basement
2 car garage
Privacy fence (with option of doggy doors! YEAH!)
Pool

I'm SO SO SO SO SO stoked! Keep your fingers crossed and think happy house thoughts!

This year...

I want to plan three trips:

I want to go to Red Rocks to see the Dave Mathews Band.


I want to go to Seattle to visit my BFF.


I want to go to San Diego a few days before my business trip to California, for the first time.


I'd also like to go to Galveston... but sadly, I cannot be out of the office for two consecutive weeks. Damn Las Vegas. I know, its hard.

Generalizations... Sometimes they bite you in the ass...

OK, so a funny thing happenend last night while I was having some beers with my girls.

I was talking about the last two people I've dated, both of them just happen to be Sagitarius. I was laughing and joking, saying that they "appeared to be all-together and well-rounded... and in the end, they weren't AT ALL".

Then I realized... I'm a Sagitarius too.

I'm sure I appear to be all-together and well-rounded too... at least I'm not in denial, huh?

Hi Ho... Hi Ho...

It's off to the pain clinic I go...

With my dandy new PPO health insurance, I'm off to Pain Care, the original place my doc referred me to. I hope dropping $400 on my deductible is worth it.

I need some relief. I'm pretty sure it would help my mental state, if I wasn't constantly in pain.

Oh... one other thing. My dog is fat. Lucy is fat because its too damn cold to go for walks and play ball outside. Winter sucks sooooo bad.

What do you say... when you have nothing to say?

I am fine. Not great, just fine. Drugs not making a big difference yet, I only stayed out until 3am on Saturday and promptly went home on Sunday... I'm not drinking everyday... but mostly sleeping if I'm not working.

It was great, Sunday was my first non-hangover bar opening shift in over a month. Working is so much more tollerable without a raging headache and the urge to vomit at any moment.

I just scheduled another appointment with the pain clinic, but this time I'm going to the one I wanted to go to in the first place *fuckin insurance*, so hopefully I'll finally get some relief.

I'm hoping 2008 is better than 2007. Tomorrow I think I'll list my "things not to do in 2008 that I did in 2007". That should be fun.

Went to the doctor today...

Back on the drugs...

And admitted that I might be drinking too much.

Things should get better soon.

Sorry to move you down, Chris...

Its finally time that Chris move down a little. I've been super busy these days.

My horoscope is nice... so I'll share.

"Your personality is exuding a confidence that's synonymous with charm, expansion and love of life, dear Jennifer."

I like to think I have a love for life. Even if I feel like an old sweater sometimes. I think we all do occasionally.
