Good Morning! It's been 3 weeks since I was last on here! Missing you all!

I saw this in our local paper and thought it was perfect for Earth Day, The Dallas Arboretum (my favorite hangout!) and making reference to our favorite day here on MMC! We also renewed our membership at the Arboretum for another year - loving every minute of it!!!

.

Great to see you!!!

DH's aunt didn't get to come home last night because her oxygen level & blood pressure were low. This morning, we got a call that now something is wrong with her kidneys & there will probably be another surgery. Her sister & coming home to rest for a while & my FIL is going up to stay for the day. I'm really not feeling positive about her recovery at this point. She has so many medical issues already without something else coming up.

DD was about to have a melt down when we got the call. I think she was afraid that aunt had died, because an early morning phone call was the way we found out my grandmother passed away last month.

I'll keep her in my thoughts.

Sorry the Islanders lost the game, at least you got to see a playoff game live in person.

Thanks Xmas, it was an experience. I'm happy I was able to be there.

Hey gang! Hope y'all are having a great week. The best thing that I can say about this week is that we have two more days.

Sitting here watching Monsters, Inc. and wondering why we are watching it. Bambina has been asleep for a good 30 minutes. NBA basketball is on!!!! What is happening to my life?

Made, what did you think about the NFL schedule? Some of you "Cheeseheads" are going to have a big Thanksgiving Night playing the Bears. Should be exciting! I can't wait.

Y'all have a good one!

Well, that was a bust! Turns out that today's appointment was only a consultation, not the root canal work. The specialist rapped on my tooth with a metal instrument, asked me how it felt. Had me bite down on cotton, asked me how it felt. Advised me to make an appointment for a root canal. (Duh!) Oh, and the crown will have to be replaced, too. $210.00, pay as you exit, thank you. Really. And they couldn't give me an estimate for the work because the girl who was at the desk didn't know how to do it.

I guess it's not their fault that I believed the work was to be done today, but I still feel "taken." I'm no farther along in getting this fixed than I was last week, and it cost me over $200. I'm pretty upset right now.

I am sorry to hear that, they should have been a little clearer on what type of appointment that was.

Oh lucky you...Got an appointment with the vampires huh? I'm not a good one to have blood work done because they have a hard time finding veins...Thick skin/ deep veins~

One time I had this one woman that stuck a needle in my arm to put in an IV and she was moving that needle around in there to hit that vein...After the 5th attempt, I said lady, you stick the dam thing in my arm one more time, me and you are going to go around this room a few times.... She left the room and another woman came in, bop, she hit it the first time... I told her that I loved her....

Hope the meds work for you buddy!!!

You and your nurses... cheesy

Snow continues to fall from time to time today, thankfully not accumulating, going to be -2 tonight . I am hunkering down early because my get up and go let me hours ago. Had some kind of allergy attack at work that left me drained. Have no idea what triggered it. So on this chilly night sounds nicer to curl up with a good book .
Have fun at the pines, Carl sent me his brand of allergy pills but they ate 4" long so I will let him keep them. ..but the thought was nice!

I hope you are feeling better.

Well Folks, I'm going to call it an early night on here so I can knock out a few things I need to get done. Tomorrow is going to be a weird day for me. After a few years of looking for the perfect job, I had to take what I could get. So I start at walmart tomorrow. Eventually I'll be doing overnight stock from 10pm to 7am. I have to start out on first shift though for orientation tomorrow and then a few days of training. So I have to be there at 7am tomorrow morning. Which means that I have to get up at the latest 5:30am and more likely 5am. That's normally when I'm falling asleep. Boo!!! After so many years of doing my own thing with STS though and only seeing my boss twice a year, it's going to be hard to go back to a set schedule with a boss looking over my shoulder all night long. I'll survive though. Hopefully. LOL!!!!

I'll try to check in tomorrow morning if I get up in time but if I don't, I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Goodnight, MMC!!!!!!

Congrats on the job!!!

Good luck tomorrow.

Good evening.

A long slow moving day today, still just drained from yesterdays excursion to Six Flags. I've had a hard time staying awake reading the posts.

Back to work bright and early.

Goodnight, everyone.

Sitting here watching Monsters, Inc. and wondering why we are watching it. Bambina has been asleep for a good 30 minutes. NBA basketball is on!!!! What is happening to my life? Welcome to the life of a true daddy.... Now, if you go to work and find yourself humming and singing the tunes to yourself, your there.....LOL!!!! Here's the best part, my daughter is 20 and loves to watch those movies with her pop and I treasure every moment still!!!

Made, what did you think about the NFL schedule? Some of you "Cheeseheads" are going to have a big Thanksgiving Night playing the Bears. Should be exciting! I can't wait.

Y'all have a good one!

I don't know about Made Coach, but I think the Ravens got a real crappy schedule. they have to play five of the 2014 playoff teams. 2 Monday night games on the road as well. Man, I wish the NFL would mix up the teams a bit so we can play more out of conference games. I would to see the ravens play Green Bay, Chicago, Seattle, Dallas, Arizona, Miami, Buffalo, etc...something different than that same old same old teams over and over again...

But, I will be watching that Bears Packers game.....for sure...

Good Morning Friends...I was MIA last week due to being in FL with the fam for vacation. We had a great time and now back to the swing of things w/ work etc.. My daughters' softball has started up full force so that will keep us busy but that is fine.

Hope you are all good and I need to catch up on my posts!

Well, at least we know now how it's done ... There's a chance I may be able to get it done this Friday. If I'm lucky. Not a good bet these days!

I sure hope that it done (for your sakes) in a very timely manner, I'll be thinking about you buddy!!!!

xmastidings · Apr 23, 2015

Well as you can see by my latest most, that yes, I am up and awake!!!! Why, hhhmmmmm, lets see, maybe it had something to do with the fact that my son decided to do laundry at midnight. OH yes,,,what a wonderful sound the dryer makes at 1 am with all the pants in it and the zippers banging around inside the drum; clang, clang, clang fot the last hour, just outside my bedroom door.....

Got up, took 1/2 of an ambian... I'm starting to feel the effects of it alredy!! Making a lot of typing mistakes....
