I'm a statistic

So I lost my job on Monday. The thing that is awful is that it isn't because of the economy... it was because of my surgery. Yeah lost the job because I'm recovering from surgery. How much does that suck?! So if anyone has any job leads for someone with a B.A in Psychology... let me know.

We are all on medication

So for those of you who don't know, I had surgery in January. They diagnosed a medical condition, that is treatable, that explains why I was in such terrible pain. I don't like to take medicine because my gradmother has cirrosis of the liver because she abused prescription drugs for years. My husband had to convince me to take Tylenol for a headache, but now this is what my day looks like. The two on the left are for Bella, she's sick too right now, and the seven... count 'em seven!!! others are for me. Each on is for a different problem. I feel like such an addict. Thankfully by July all the pill popping should be over and done with, and I will be back to avoiding medication like the plague. Poor Kevin is the only one not on pills!

Dental

So poor Bella has to go see Dr. Lindsay tomorrow to get her teeth checked out. The good doctor and I had lunch today and had some great discussion. We got to talking about the in-laws. I have been fortunate with Kevin's parents, they have been so good to me. If you have in-laws or future inlaws... how do they treat you? Like on of the family, or like that person who married their kid?

The first nudge

It happened for the first time today. In the whole nearly 15 months that my husband and I have been married no one has even mentioned or asked us when we are going to have kids... until today that is. I got my first message in my inbox from my sister-in-law stating her desire to have another niece or nephew. Now I'm all for babies, but this took me by surprise. I figured it would be Kevin's parents or my parents who started begging, but nope it was my sister-in-law. I think I should get her a prize for being the first to ask... :)

Below is my sister-in-law Lara, and her husband Larry, son Nathan and son Will.

Doggie Beauty Pagent

So today Bella and I were laying on the couch watching the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. Usually she will sit in my lap and watch the TV with me, but today was different. She was burrowed under a blanket the whole time. This made me think, I wonder if she feels like I do when watch Miss. America... unattractive. Bella has nothing to worry about. Kevin and I told her the reason she isn't there is because she would make all the other dogs look ugly by comparison.

Dave Ramsey

Kevin and I made the decision long ago that we wanted to live debt free. So as you can imagine Dave Ramsey pretty much has the last word in our house. Now the great debate is over the car. Kevin bought a "new" car over a year ago after a horrendous crash sent Woodrow to a premature grave. Now we are debt free except for our car payment. Kevin actually was able to get through to Dave's show and Dave said sell the car. Now Dave and I are on the same side, but Kevin does have some valid points. The car is great and reliable and we could have it paid off by early 2010 if things go according to plan. However all that money could go towards paying for grad school in cash or towards our first home. So that's the dilemma. Sell or save the car?

Blogging Neophyte

As the title indicates, this is my first foray into the blogging world. I refuse to begin the with a generic post about who I am and my interests, because anyone reading this already knows who I am. So I suppose that if there is anything anyone wants to know just ask.
- More to come.
