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!
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.
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.
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?
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
Back on the drugs...
And admitted that I might be drinking too much.
Things should get better soon.
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.
OMG... this man... is not only the hottest man alive... he's so, so, so talented...
This is a show that will not be easily topped. I can't wait to see him again.
and no... not the kind you get when you have a baby.
I have 3 buldging disks and one with a significant protrusion that's aggravating my sciatic nerve root. Yesterday I received my second epidural injection of steroids.
It hurt. Bad.
I'm eligible to get one more shot before insurance won't pay... when earlier I was told that I wasn't a candidate for surgery, the doctor is now asking me if he's referred me to a surgeon yet.
So, it appears that somebody's trying to put 'Scraps under the knife.
I've heard horror stories about surgery, I was conforted knowing that I wasn't a candidate.
I'm not even 30 for Christ's sake!
So, once the soreness from yesterday's intrusion on my spine goes away, hopefully I'll be feeling better for at least a few months.
I want him to be my new boyfriend...
It's OK John, the paparazzi wouldn't come looking for you on the farm.
Rosie says it perfectly...
She's like a sweater, old and used
Tossed & overworn too many times through
And she used to look so bright
All her seams were tightly tied
She's like a sweater that's just worn out
Fading, coffee stained, and out of style
And she's just about to run
Before her stitches come undone
She's gonna pack her bags & leave
No more loose, unraveled seams
She is young & she still has her confidence
And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
She's like a fire in the rain
His words will damp her eyes & heat her veins
And the love she thought she found was just another hand-me-down of ? grace
She's gonna pack her bags & leave
No more loose, unraveled seams
She is young & she still has her confidence
And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
She's found a refuge for her face
While dividing her unfortune ? ?
Now she stands too high for them to ring her dry
She's found her way
She's gonna pack her bags & leave
No more loose, unraveled seams
She is young & she still has her confidence
And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day.
...when you tell the truth.
That way, you don't have to remember what you told to who... and if you tell two people two different things, you worry about them talking to each other, and *gasp* what if they talk about YOU...
I've always made it a practice to not lie about family members and death/illness.
For example, even as a kid, I NEVER used a sick/dead grandparent as an excuse for not doing something... because, just think of it... it COULD happen and then I'd feel like shit.
Telling people lies is mean. Don't do it.
And if you do... feel bad, really, really badly about it.
Oh yeah, and I hope you get caught.

As I put the finishing touches on my bag of goodies I shall take to Chicago... I'm thinking about all the hard work I've put into my new job. I love my new job!
I've been planning, along with 3 other gals, a very, very large conference... and after next week, it will be over and we will start working on next year's conference.
Who would've though that I'd be SO excited to work 15 hour days... I seriously can't wait to board the plane on Monday.
I cannot wait to see the accumulation of our efforts, all laid out nice and neat.
I'll take pics and share of my adventure upon my return.
