To All My Peeps

You know who you are, and you know why I am Hollerin' Out! (ok, so for anyone who needs a reminder, can you think back two years ago when I started having problems about my teeth and what I learned from the Dentist about my ethnic make-up?)

Happy Chinese New Year (Yesterday)

The World Is So Much Larger Then I...

Which is why I have my blog to compain about the mundane little things in my life that bother me!

My Ulnar Nerve is really hurting me. Last night I started getting shooting pains going up my arm, and today I spent no more then a minute on the mouse and it started in again.

Now you might wonder, how would I know about my "Ulnar Nerve" and where the heck IS it? Fantastic question. It is in your hand/arm. I, being the wonderfully strange person I am, hold the mouse in a strange way and unlike most people who get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, my doc diagnosed me with Ulnar Nerve Syndrome.

The outcome? (by Doc Nameless...) 1. Get an ergonomic mouse (which I did), 2. take Naproxen (which I don't) and 3. wear a splint (which I do when I need to). *Like some fellow friends, Naproxen makes me tired and feel lightheaded, so I only take it at night once in a while. Who wants to be on meds all their life, not me!*

So, after the shooting pains started, I decided I needed a screen that goes over my computer so I can just tap on it and not use the mouse at all! I called my IT dept with the hopes that they would know what type of screen I was talking about, and they said to call the Health Nurse. Health Nurse laughed, because she get's that question EVERY DAY! (Please note the sarcasm.) Now I have an apointment for an "ergonomic evaluation".

That makes a heck of a lot more sense to me then what Doc Nameless told me. Doc nameless didn't even look at my arm or do any type of ergonomic evals. Just prescribed the drugs, gave me a splint and sent me on my way.

Medicine at it's best.

Love Calculator

Really don't know what this means, but I was looking at some sites for some neat gift ideas and thought I would do the "Love Calculator". According to the Love Calculator Samuel and Beth have 60% love. I thought, well, since I call my dear-heart "Sam" most of the time and Samuel only if he isn't listening or I REALLY need him to listen, I will check out Beth and Sam- SURLY we must rate higher then 60%!

Results...





What...?!?!?!

Computer's Suck- or is it me?

Something really strange is happening with my blog. I can't post on it when I open up my MSN Explorer. I have been trying to get those weekend pic's on there since Tuesday- maybe Monday- and I couldn't do it! The MSN thing still isn't working, but I can do it if I open the regular explirer...too weird. I wish I "got" computers!

Weekend Events

Little Shop Of Horrors

This past weekend Sam and I had an overdue "New Year's Celebration. Every year we go out to a nice dinner and re-evaluate where we are in life. We talk about all the things we want to do and what we have done in the past year.

This year we tied in the show "Little Shop of Horror's" into our evening as well. We started out shopping at Cherry Creek Mall where I got a few things- my favorite being this weird little camera that takes 4 photo's on one frame. I have yet to develop the film. Not to worry- I will share the results, which I am already predicting to be not-so-hot. (But it's fun!) Then we were on our way to find a restaurant and low and behold we passed one of my FAVORITE stores! Cost Plus World Market! I love that place! We picked up a sinple wine rack, that is exactly what we were looking for. (And have now decided to go back and get one more!). Dinner was at Cucina Colore, then off to the show at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. We capped off the night at a little cafe down the street and headed home! It was a wonderful evening- one that we need to do more often!!!

Ode' to My Dawgz

This is an ode to my dawgz- Present, Past and Future. Present is Mykah- I decided to include some baby photo's since no one else knew her as a babe. Past would be Tyler, the incessant sloberer and sprayer & not to mention the dog who almost gave me a nervous breakdown. He is in a wonderful new home now with a family who adores him. The future is only a dream due to the other person I share the house with refusing to allow it into our home. What harm does a little white or brown fluff ball do?

Invitation

What could be more fun then freezing your keester off and watching testosterone pumped ATV and Dirt Bike Riders go around and around on a track of ice? Yeah, I don't know either, but I thought I would pose the question. If anyone wants to go, call me or post it and I will set it up. It is Friday the 20th at the Budwieser Center at 7:30. Tickets will probably be about $14 if I can get the cheap ones. Rock on!! Oh yeah, did I fail to mention that this is the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS?!?! Right here on the Front Range- how did we get so lucky?

And What to My Wondering Eye's Should Appear?

The morning starts off normal enough, get up, shower, coffee, open the shades- and WHAT! A Nasty 'ole Christmas tree, tinsel and all, laying in my front yard. My series of thoughts...
1. I am in Cheyenne, this is just another reminder...
2. How the heck am I going to get this thing outta here?
3. I can't beleive someone just threw their tree in my yard because they didn't want to deal with it!
4. Revert to #1. I am in Cheyenne- the wind is crazy, maybe the wind blew it there, but it wasn't crazy last night!
5. Revert to #3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 3, 3, hmmmmm.....

Note Bottom Left corner: Mykah, who hates that tree and at first tries to warn me there is an intruder on our property until I convince her we will not, no we will not, be viciousely attacked by the dead pine needles that will now poke the crap out of me when I try to carry it away. (Revert to #2- How am I gonna get this outta here and where of where will I take it?!?!)

**Special Update: I saw the trash man outside, so I ran out and asked if he would take the prickily krusty tree. He refused. Sam then insisted on dragging it to the corner of the driveway with his one good hand. Wyoming kept up with what we all know and love--the wind. The tree is now gone. I haven't seen it since 11 today and it is no where in sight.

***Special Update #2: I just feel the need to mention that while driving last night I happened to see the "tree in question" down the street trapped underneath an RV. Oh well- their problemo now! Hee Hee!!! So glad the drama's over! Whew!

Happy New Year!
