We've been to see Iron Man twice now - once as soon as it came out, and then again the following weekend with the kids - and I'd be okay with going to see it every week until it's no longer in theaters. I guess that might be a bit excessive, though. The score is wonderful (I ordered the soundtrack as soon as we got home from seeing it the first ( Read more... )

In one week I'm having laproscopic exploratory surgery to check for endometriosis, adhesions, scarring, etc. It's an outpatient procedure, but I'm more than a little nervous because I'm not sure what to expect for the recovery. The doctor said one to two weeks is what it usually takes people; I'm hoping I'm on the shorter end of that spectrum. ( Read more... )

I had an appointment last week with a doctor whose practice has the tiniest parking lot ever. There was one space open when I got there, so that's where I parked, noting as I did so that the car next to me was taking up a little bit of my parking space. I chalked it up to a rushed parking job and took a couple of pictures, just in case something ( Read more... )

For Mother's Day this year Mike and the kids pre-ordered the Lego Indiana Jones DS game for me. I love Indiana Jones as it is, but given how much fun I've had with my Lego Star Wars game, you can bet your ass I'll be at Game Stop on June 3rd with my nose pressed to the glass, waiting to get my game.

To date I have had several dr. appointments and tests during the process of figuring out what, exactly, is going on. That list looks something like this ( Read more... )

Our anniversary trip was fantastic. We spent the majority of our time away relaxing, doing nothing more taxing than reading and coordinating internet time, although we did make a trip out to pick up some books and have dinner.

We're leaving tomorrow after work for our anniversary trip. We're going to be gone until Tuesday, and this year we're taking the dogs with us. Normally I would have already started packing by now or have a checklist made at the very least, but I've not even done that. I did call the vet to see about getting something to have on hand for the pups ( Read more... )

I just bought our tickets to see Mötley Crüe at Crüe Fest this summer, and I'm beyond excited about the show. Eep! Neither of us have seen them play before (which, given the amount of concerts Mike has been to, is something that doesn't happen often), and since Mike's the one who introduced me to them, I love that we're going to see them for the ( Read more... )

After road-testing my diva cup, I am an enthusiastic convert. Seriously, it's hard for me to keep from leaping around the room throwing flowers in the air, I'm that enthusiastic about it. It's comfortable, there's practically no leakage, and it's nice to have the freedom to forget about it for almost the entire day. Sure, emptying it out can be ( Read more... )
