funeral, sickness, and baby boys!

due to an untimely death in the family my cousins from tennessee are coming for an emergency visit. the good news in all of this is that they are bringing their 2 newborns. one, owen is 7mos, and the other, dakota, is 3mos. i've only seen them in photos, so i am pretty excited that they are on their way.

***UPDATE***
they are here..

owen aka "obi wan"


dakota aka "yoda dakota"

today i have felt so bad. i threw up twice before work, then i stood on my feet for 6.5 hours, all the while having crap explosions every couple of hours. i ate 2 small square pieces of white pizza today, and that is all. my vomit this morning was my dinner last night. not only didn't i sleep because of the heartburn, but my stupid stomach didn't even start to digest my dinner.

i still feel like i could throw up right now, and i am not hungry. that never happens, that is how i know something is wrong. how can i be full 12 hours after eating?

if i feel this crappy tomorrow i'm not going to work.

call me tender tooth..

i had my temporary cap put on this afternoon. he must have given me 4 shots of novocain in as many spots in my mouth. when i was all done i had a meeting with the new VP of the company that just bought our station... it was lovely trying to talk knowing he was looking at me thinking... "bells palsy? partial paralysis? did she have a stroke? or can this girl just not speak worth $hit?"

anyway.. i hadn't time to eat my lunch beforehand so when i attempted to eat my mac and cheese any sort of remote chewing on that side resulted in lightning bolts shooting into my jaw nerves. :( sipping water produced the same result.. back in the dentist chair, through the novocain i vaguely felt him grinding away on my already agitated gums that surround that tooth with his high pitched tool.. i had a mouth full of blood when i was ordered to "rinse, rinse". i have a feeling that is going to be sore tomorrow...

the upside is that it won't be a food catcher anymore and i won't need to have floss on my person at all times.

podiatry, burning oil, another cap, sea dog blueberry ale

today was my follow-up appt with my new favorite doctor (my podiatrist Dr. Naas), he wanted to know how the shot worked and how the orthodics were working... they are working fantastically i must report. i have very minor stiffness in the morning but as long as i am not wearing shoes that are too tight in my toes i am feeling like a brand new girl.. :) if i overdo it at the gym i do feel a little soreness, but nothing like the ridiculousness i was feeling in Mexico.. i don't have to go back for a month, and if i have no pain in a month, i can cancel my appt. woot!!

anyone that has been in my car knows that when i drive for any long amounts of time my car smelling like it's burning when i stop.. it's been happening for a long time.. i don't even remember when it started. it quite possibly has been happening the whole time i've owned it.. when i was in PA recently RH checked my oil and i had basically none.. he put in a quart and gave me an extra quart and a rag.. i had to put it in this morning in an attempt to get the "check engine" light to turn off. :( it didn't go off. EH thinks i should take it in in a preemptive move so that later on down the road i won't have to put more money into it. i am really hesitant to take it in for fear it will cost me millions. what would you, my blog reading audience do?

another of my favorite doctors is my dentist.. his office called me this morning to say that i could go in tomorrow if i was available to have a temp cap put on my broken tooth. i will run into that appointment as i have had about enough of needing to floss everytime i put something in my mouth. my gums are in a constant state of agitation. not fun..

this weekend cath and i were strolling through the aisles of her favorite grocery store, Wegmans. on a fluke i decided to look and see if they carried seadog blueberry since SH drank the last of my precious stow-aways this weekend... and guess what! they carry it!! it was only $8 a 6-pack. not like the $12 a 6-pack KW and i paid in Philly. woot!!!

dancing from last night.

i thought adams dancing last night was much better than the 1st night.. i hope he makes it. i voted with all the phones in the house and via web.

i found this on the internet from last night...

it's most of the people on TACS and jimmy and guillermo. i hope jimmy and guillermo are still doing sketches each week for the show.

easter..

the olean hunts came to visit for easter. there were a bunch of visitors for the baby, a trip to the zoo, an easter dinner, a rape/abuse movie, easter candy, photoshoots, a trip to wegmans, and lots of dvr catching up.



cath does not have to go to work again tomorrow. wtf!! she has more time off than anyone i know!

killer heartburn.

wow the past two days i've had 5 alarm heartburn by the time i get to work. i'd have to point to the common denominator of tomato on toast as the cause. :( but i love big juicy tomatoes sliced up and put on mayonnaise smeared healthnut bread with a sprinkling of salt and pepper on top. :( i dream about it at night...

i'm much better off heartburn wise if i stick to oatmeal. so sad.

teagan is growing like a little hairless weed. she is just about filling out her onesies now, her feet are soon not going to fit in them. they should start binding her feet right now.. she is also starting to be able to control her neck and she kinda whips it around like a little hammer.

i got a call from my dentist today saying that my crown has been approved! woot! another $300! plus did i mention i owe like $400 for taxes this year? i can't remember the last time i got money back that i could frivolously spend. oh, speaking of frivolous money.... i got my first paycheck from my part time job. $22.04. hell yeah! i'll be moving into a mansion in no time!!

totally random... the other day i got an unsolicited email from a stranger on facebook saying that i looked like i had downs. i didn't think strangers could message people that weren't their friends on facebook. in any case, that was nice, brightened my day!

twitter, AI, niece, fatty

i've connected my cell phone to my twitter account.. so now i can twitter when i'm away from my computer. (actually, when is that, really?) in case you haven't noticed, i've set up the feed of my tweets on the right hand side... if anyone that reads this has a twitter account... follow me and i will follow you!

is it just me or does anyone else find that the allowance of instrument playing on american idol so distracting? have they ever let the contestants play instruments? i seriously hate it...

tomorrow S&J come to visit.. i think they are bringing my niece..

we took an internal vote and the consensus is to shave fatty asap. she is a matted mess, and is leaving her hair everywhere. adios fat cat..
